 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The World Socialist Web Site urge workers to establish rank-and-file committees to fight for the broadest possible "no" vote and prepare a real struggle to win workers' demands. The United States, a leading instigator and supporter of Israel's genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, has once again publicly rebuked global calls for an end to the war. D Notices are used by the British state to veto the publication of news damaging to its interests. The slavish collusion of the mainstream media ensures that such notices function as gag orders. Each weekend, the number of youth and workers protesting surpasses the number who joined the previous weekend. The new German deportation law is part of a comprehensive attack on basic democratic rights. Government, opposition and media adopt the AfD's program to suppress any opposition against war and social attacks. The Governor slanders anti-war protesters as he supports the Israeli genocide. Socialist Alliance is promoting illusions in the very Labor government that has given its aggressive support to the unfolding mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza. The company is demanding complete surrender on the economic front as the workers' strike enters the fourth week. The new book by Dr. Jonathan Howard carefully traces how traditional attacks on medical science from the anti-vaccine movement were used by doctors around the Great Barrington Declaration to promote an ongoing political attack on public health. The Zelensky regime is refusing to disclose how long Ukrainian soldiers will be expected to remain at the front amid growing nationwide protests against never-ending deployment. After an almost unanimous strike authorization vote by Las Vegas-area hotel workers last month, the Culinary Union has refused to set a strike date. Workers, students and teachers staged nationwide protests over a new government mining contract while 670 Vancouver, Canada, wastewater workers are in the third week of a strike over wages. "They're trying to silence us. But we won't be silenced." Strikes and protests have taken place in recent months in São Paulo, Brazil's largest and richest state, mainly involving the education sector. Four years on from the devastating infernos of 2019‒20, which killed nearly 500 people either directly or by smoke, major fires have erupted since September—three months before the official start of summer. Canberra has long regarded oil and gas-rich East Timor as part of its "sphere of influence," and has sought to block rival powers, above all Beijing, from establishing closer security ties with the country. Using their control of state legislatures and various courts, the two capitalist parties Democrats are attempting to control the 2024 congressional election and prevent working people from having any influence on the outcome. As in June, the powerful message from rank-and-file actors is clear: don't sell us out! The early Monday morning job action fit the classic definition of a "Hollywood strike"—a stunt pulled by the bureaucracy to create the illusion among rank-and-file workers that Unifor President Payne and Local 444 President Cassidy had "fought hard" to secure the miserable "pattern" agreement. The latest discovery of children working in a poultry processing plant is the most recent example of the growing use of child labor throughout the United States. Mass protests against the Netanyahu government's genocide of the Palestinian people are increasing worldwide. Despite bans and massive police presence, demonstrations involving thousands took place in numerous cities in Germany over the weekend. Detroit-based Henry Ford Health has announced a plan for a "joint venture" with Ascension Michigan, a division of St. Louis, Missouri-based Ascension Health, that would bring eight Ascension hospitals in southeast Michigan under the leadership of Henry Ford. The ruling class is intent on the brutal repression of a mass movement they have long feared, amid a resurgence of the class struggle now exacerbated by the impacts of the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis and the outbreak of war in Ukraine and now in the Middle East.
