Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site.
The European powers calculate that strikes deep inside Russia will force Moscow to respond and that any Russian retaliation can then be used to justify a still broader NATO intervention. This is the logic of provocation. It is the logic that leads to a direct war between nuclear armed powers.
The Supreme Court narrowly struck down Trump’s executive order that would revoke the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship.
On the final day of its current term, the Supreme Court handed down reactionary opinions attacking the rights of transgender students and lifting restrictions on corporate campaign funding.
On Monday, the Supreme Court overruled more than 90 years of precedent and practice by authorizing Trump to terminate without cause commissioners appointed for fixed terms to regulatory agencies, except for Federal Reserve Board governors.
Whatever the outcome of the dispute between these two nationalist governments, the conflict underscores that their war alliance against Russia is as fragile as it is reactionary.
The ruthlessness of the crime reflects a society in which explosive social tensions are mounting without finding any progressive outlet, and in which violence is propagated from the highest level.

The winding down of the monitorship does not mark the end of corruption inside the union or even a separation between the union bureaucracy and the capitalist state. It amounts to official sanction for the corruption and bureaucratic suppression through which the apparatus polices the rank and file.
Internationally acclaimed musician Peter Gabriel is developing a new album in 2026 entitled o/i (output/input) as a year-long series of track-at-a-time releases timed to arrive with each full moon cycle.

Under cover of a non-existent cease-fire, Israel’s military attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank surged this week as the regime of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also moved forward with population transfer and annexation plans and expansion of Zionist settlements in the occupied territories.
This prosecution is a blatant and dangerous political witch-hunt and frame-up. It must not be allowed to stand. It is a major escalation by the Trump administration of the effort to criminalize left-wing opposition to war, dictatorship and social inequality.
