 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Behind the mutual recriminations between the two capitalist parties, there is a basic agreement: All of the social gains made by the working class in the course of more than a century of struggle must be wiped out to pay for the escalating war drive of the American ruling class. The G7 summit from 19 to 21 May marks a major step towards a nuclear third world war. The G7 gave Russia an ultimatum that leaves no room for diplomatic solutions. It is time to put an end to this grotesque farce! It is no longer necessary for a ballot to be held on a deal that should never have been agreed in the first place. The CWU has all but openly admitted it would have been rejected. Postal workers explain that the earlier revisions have not been overturned and they are facing further demands without any opposition from the CWU or through its direct collusion. "You have strikes in Britain, Germany, France and Holland, it's everywhere today. It is like a little bit of a spark because COVID really showed the importance of essential workers and their value." In his first public comments on the more than two-week strike, the new UAW president tried to conceal the bureaucracy's attempt to sabotage the decisive struggle. Disturbing new details revealed in the autopsy report of Lashawn Thompson revealed that his death was the result of being deliberately denied medical care while incarcerated. The conditions that impact the United States' most poor and vulnerable in the country's capital are a clear exposure of the government's rank hypocrisy about "human rights" and "democracy." The pamphlet, which presents a criticism of critical race theory and identity politics from the left, is now available from Mehring Books. Chinese health authorities warn of another wave of COVID-19 Infections to peak at the end of June with more than 65 million weekly infections. Both candidates in the run-off are united in deporting millions of refugees and consolidating a "law and order" regime in the name of "fight against terrorism." Lula has seen a 13 percent drop in his approval rating as his government deepens austerity policies designed to guarantee profits and foreign debt payments. There were two exciting evenings in the almost sold-out Mercedes-Benz Arena. Many thousands of Berliners of all generations praised the music of the now almost 80-year-old former Pink Floyd mastermind and his clear political messages. Stella Assange, wife of imprisoned Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange, spoke at a rally in Sydney yesterday morning demanding his immediate freedom. "We need people like Julian, so we know what's really going on in the world. Biden is trying to get a US journalist out of Russia, and he said, 'Journalism is not a crime,' so why hasn't Julian been released?" The Republican-dominated South Carolina Senate passed a law on Tuesday banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy along with a host of other requirements that will effectively end the procedure in the state. The Committee of Interns and Residents has sent its members back to work at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens without allowing them to vote on the tentative agreement, which will do nothing to improve their poverty wages. Papua New Guinea and Washington signed an anti-China Defense Cooperation Agreement giving the US military sweeping "boots on the ground" access to the country. Kinetic workers are again taking industrial action over pay and conditions, concerned that the Transport Workers Union is about to strike another rotten deal with the global bus conglomerate. While continuing to starve public schools of desperately-needed funding, the Albanese government is maintaining the lucrative flow of public monies into the private schools. The deal will give engineers five days of paid sick leave, far less than what train crews were demanding when their strike was banned by Congress last year. The documentary's only contribution, no doubt unintentional on the part of its producers, is to reveal Navalny as a well-to-do crude dimwit; a right-wing man with neither ideas nor principles but eager to do business with anyone. Revolutionary Left aims to strengthen the authority of these parties in order to block a movement on their left against the capitalist state in France and Spain. Strikes at Amazon warehouses show the determination of this critical group of workers to improve their conditions. But this requires a programme based on internationalism, class struggle, and the primacy of workers' needs over Amazon's profits.
