 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The former secretary of state is identified with an endless list of atrocities perpetrated by American imperialism. It must be stressed that the cuts contained in the deal announced by Biden and McCarthy are not one-off measures. Rather, they mark an inflection point in the decades-long attack on the social conditions and living standards of the working class. Erdoğan kept his seat thanks to the bankruptcy of the bourgeois opposition, but he is heading for a clash with the working class amid NATO's war on Russia. The right carried every major city in Spain except Barcelona, as voters abandoned the Socialist Party and Podemos, who have imposed reactionary policies during their three years in office. North noted that terms associated with Trotsky's work, such as "the death agony of capitalism, world socialist revolution, the globalisation of the class struggle, the bankruptcy of the bourgeois nation-state, are eminently applicable to our own time." This essay by David North was originally published on March 13, 1972 in The Bulletin, the weekly newspaper of the Workers League, predecessor of the Socialist Equality Party (US). In the early morning hours on May 20 an unarmed, and harmless 11-year-old boy was shot in his Mississippi home by a police officer.

Her career lasted from the late 1950s, when she was still in high school, into the 2020s, more than 60 years. The Washington Post reported last week that as many as 1,000 workers at the Amazon corporate offices in Seattle are planning to walk off the job on Wednesday, May 31 to protest the ongoing attacks on jobs and working conditions at the $1.2 trillion company. The upcoming contract expiration at UPS is a critical factor in the talks at the trucking companies. The bureaucracy is terrified that a strike by the truckers would galvanize hundreds of thousands of UPS workers, jeopardizing their plans to force through a sellout at the logistics giant. The union-backed NDP has run a thoroughly right-wing campaign, aimed at convincing the ruling class that they are a "safer pair" of hands than far-right ideologue Smith and her United Conservative Party.
