While there are racists and fascists in police departments around the world, video capturing the brutal beating of the former FedEx worker at the hands and feet of five African-American cops confirms the class character of police violence. Asked whether the "United States is willing to consider" sending US fighter Jets to Ukraine, White House National Security Adviser Jon Finer told MSNBC Thursday that the United States will be "discussing this very carefully." More layoffs in the manufacturing and retail industries were announced on Thursday amid the drive to impose the inflation crisis onto the working class through interest rate increases.
