 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The reports on Sunday that the death toll from the wildfires in Maui could reach into the hundreds are a devastating exposure of the recklessness and negligence of the capitalist ruling establishment in the face of global climate change. With mounting evidence of his attacks on the 2020 election, Trump faces fourth indictment in Georgia Unlike the federal case against Trump on election charges, the Georgia case is expected to include the indictment of more than a dozen co-defendants. The Democratic Socialists of America's 2023 convention provides an opportunity to take stock of the role the organization has played in the period beginning in 2015-16, when an initial but powerful radicalization of workers and youth spurred growing interest in socialism and drove 13 million people to vote for self-proclaimed socialist candidate Bernie Sanders. The subject of a 2012 biography about his South African audience searching for him, Rodriguez died at 81 years of age. Sanders' and Fain's rhetorical appeals to social discontent were combined with a lying narrative which covered up for the Democratic Party and the UAW bureaucracy, which are both centrally responsible for creating the conditions workers now confront. Two workers at WTAP contract Legionnaires' disease exposing the continued spread of potentially deadly diseases throughout the auto industry and Michigan. The "Delivering for America" program aimed ultimately to privatize the USPS is step by step implementing devastating cuts in postal workers' pay and working conditions. UPS workers in Chicago and New York spoke to the World Socialist Web Site over the weekend about the national tentative agreement, as well as the low pay and poor working conditions they face daily. The determined, year-long battle at Royal Mail has provided an object lesson in the pro-capitalist politics of pseudo-left organisations which defended the trade union bureaucracy against a rank-and-file insurgency. Crocodile tears were shed, but only to reinforce the message best articulated by the rabidly anti-migrant Sunday Express, "For Pity's Sake Stop the Boats".

New Zealand's state agencies and military are gearing up for war with China, coupled with an authoritarian crackdown on struggles by the working class over declining living standards. "What was absolutely clear is that the union apparatus cannot tolerate one iota of criticism of its role and that of the Labor government," Sue Phillips explained, "This is an expression not of its strength but its weakness." This column profiles important historical events which took place during this week, 25 years ago, 50 years ago, 75 years ago and 100 years ago Craig D. Robertson doubled down on his fascistic death threats after FBI agents first contacted him this past March after Truth Social, ex-President Donald Trump's social media platform, reported him to the FBI. The WSWS condemns the attempts of the far right to censor school curricula. The working class and youth must come to reject both the racialist narrative of the Democratic Party and the false pretenses of the far right to be defending unity and equality. One of the most reactionary and alarming efforts to police the schools is taking place in Florida. In Broward County, the district is hiring civilians as armed school guards. The EVG leadership is trying to intimidate opponents of the latest sell out deal, threatening that, in the event of an indefinite strike, rail workers will lose everything.
