 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The ruling class wants to set a precedent to ban all political activity in the working class and rip up the core First Amendment right to free speech. On Tuesday, a bipartisan group of members of the House of Representatives called on the White House to formally authorize Ukraine to use US-provided weapons to strike inside Russian territory, a move that Russian officials had previously warned would trigger war between Russia and NATO. The plans pursued by German Foreign Minister Baerbock and Defence Minister Pistorius for the expansion of air defences in Ukraine are aimed at preparing for direct NATO intervention in the conflict against Russia. Workers must take action to defend the strike. It must be expanded not only to the entire University of California system but to the entire UAW membership and other industries. The strike by 2,000 academic workers at the University of California, Santa Cruz against the crackdown on Gaza protests continues through Wednesday amidst the threat of an injunction to ban the action. Fico was targeted for murder over his criticisms of NATO's war with Russia in Ukraine, and European media are hailing his shooting, claiming it will intimidate Moscow. The coup took place as Washington and its NATO allies wage a bitter struggle for influence in Africa with China and Russia, amid the NATO-Russia war in Ukraine. Notwithstanding the fate of the Tories, despised by millions, the problem facing workers in Britain is that there is nothing fundamental to distinguish Sunak's government from Starmer's Labour Party. The fascistic Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic President Biden have sought to outdo each other in scapegoating and dehumanizing migrants as "illegals." The BJP has a long history of communalist incitement and violence. Nevertheless, its current election campaign stands out for the stridency of its fascistic appeals. One week after the New York Times revealed that an upside-down American flag was flown outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Alito, the paper disclosed that a Christian nationalist "An Appeal to Heaven" flag, carried by pro-Trump fanatics during the January 6 attack, was also flown at Alito's vacation house in New Jersey last year. The fight that postal workers must wage is above all political, since the push by management to make Canada Post "profitable" at the expense of its workers is backed to the hilt by the Trudeau Liberal government. The recent tour of the US by officials of the CSP-Conlutas union federation served to integrate it into support for the emerging US war against Russia and China. One unsubstantiated claim, which when tested in a courtroom five years later took a jury 45 minutes to dismiss, led to Spacey being driven out of the film, television and theater world. On Wednesday, dozens of students occupied Humboldt University's Department of Social Sciences to protest against the genocide in Gaza and the complicity of the university administration. The attack on Wasantha is politically calculated to intimidate him and stop discussion on the SEP's fight for workers' independent action committees. "Socialist opponents of the Ukraine war are being demonised as traitors just as opponents of the Gaza genocide are being slandered as antisemitic and terrorist supporters." – Dr Zewlan Moor What became evident is essentially a partnership between the union and management to stifle opposition by pressuring or encouraging staff members to apply for redundancies. An overworked bus driver, having just completed a 20-hour shift the day before, lost control of his vehicle and plunged into the Moika river. Telstra's is the largest job cut announcement by an Australian company so far this year, but takes place in the context of a broader attack on working-class jobs and wages. Juan Chavez, 68, was reported dead at the scene at a UPS facility in Dallas on May 16. Despite attacks by the police and slanders in the media, protests against Israel's genocide in Gaza are continuing to spread globally and across Germany. Union president Chris Woods is being charged with stealing workers' dues to support Democratic political campaigns The study excluded patients who had serious, life-threatening infections, demonstrating that even mild cases of COVID can have dire lifetime consequences.
