 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Biden administration, along with both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, are united in the determination to use the manufactured debt ceiling crisis to implement brutal attacks on social programs. The decision to use strikebreakers is the most provocative action against striking workers in the Toledo area since the AP Parts strike in 1984-1985. Dana workers at the auto parts maker's oldest facility in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, reached out to the WSWS to discuss the abuses and low pay at the profitable corporation. All that has prevented a direct war breaking out between Britain and Russia is the Kremlin's restraint, fearing the triggering of NATO's collective defence clause. Under the title "The war in Ukraine and how to stop it," the IYSSE shed light on the historical, economic and political causes of the war and an international socialist strategy to end it. Defeated far-right candidate Sinan Oğan is laying down his demands to both of the surviving pro-war, anti-refugee candidates to see which of them he will support in the run-off. "To defeat this line-up requires more than a No vote", Robson insisted. A genuine rank-and-file insurgency must challenge the profit dictates of Royal Mail shareholders. The average television and film writer has seen his or her income shrink over the past decade, as the companies have used every trick in the book to cut staffing and costs—the only area in which they genuinely demonstrate "creativity." Given that deaths occur which do not meet a compensation board's criteria for inclusion, plus the large number of workers who are simply overlooked, studies suggest that the real number of annual direct work-related deaths in Canada is more realistically over 10,000. Four people, including the shooter, were killed in the 225th mass shooting in the United States so far this year. Lacking probable cause, the police officer claimed the 17-year old had displayed "characteristics of an armed person." India's ruling party has lost power in Karnataka, the country's eighth-most populous state, after mounting a vile communalist campaign fronted by the country's prime minister, the would-be autocrat Narendra Modi. Last weekend's security operation is to ready the police, military and other sections of the state apparatus to deal with the inevitable eruption of working-class struggles against the government and its IMF austerity policies. The minister's denunciation of ordinary citizens as "primitive animals" exposed the attitude of the country's corrupt and venal ruling elite towards the impoverished masses. Chemical workers at AdvanSix in Hopewell, Virginia were browbeaten into accepting a sellout agreement which they had already rejected three times. Four weeks after the union and the port operators announced a "tentative agreement" on "certain key issues," no details have yet been released to the rank-and-file, who have been kept on the job without a contract for nearly a year. The purpose of this claim is to convince workers that they can fight for genuine improvements to pay and conditions within the union bureaucracy, despite the betrayals of the past. Four years after the Department of Labor settled the case in court, workers still have not recovered their lost wages. Writer-director Chie Hayakawa's movie centres on the life of a 78-year-old woman, who, despite some initial scepticism decides to join a Japanese government-assisted euthanasia program. Workers declared a strike after the death of a sixty-year-old dockworker in Rosario as subway worker in Buenos Aires staged a rolling series of strikes and social groups set a protest for May 18.
