 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The World Socialist Web Site calls on workers and youth to respond to Congress's invitation to the war criminal Netanyahu with a mass demonstration in Washington D.C. The judge's order to halt the UC strike has provoked broad opposition from academic workers and Detroit autoworkers. The determined opposition of workers and young people is being corralled into a dead-end, with calls that the only way to stop Israel is to put pressure on the Tories and, above all, the Labour Party of genocide apologist in chief, Sir Keir Starmer. While there was anger and militancy among the mostly youthful demonstrators, the rally was dominated by the pro-capitalist protest politics of the pseudo-left organizers. The TikTok ban comes just days after the Zelensky regime issued an order banning access to the World Socialist Web Site across Ukraine. The order was issued by the Ukrainian State Special Communications Service, a wing of the country's military-intelligence apparatus.

Workers have responded with anger to the death of 28-year-old Caterpillar worker Daulton Simmers at the foundry in Mapleton, Illinois. The International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) condemn the witch-hunt against Geraldine Rauch and defend the professor against these right-wing attacks. The bus accident proves to be a major news event with political implications. The accident exposes the fundamental injustices blighting Palestinian life in Israel. "We could smell gas for months and months. We called the gas company out, but they couldn't find anything." This marks a dangerous development in the coordinated efforts by the university administrations, corporate media and political establishment to trample on the democratic rights of anyone who opposes the genocide and war. Rejecting the trade union bureaucracy, which is working hand in glove with ministers, university employees must turn to their class brothers and sisters who are confronting the Wickremesinghe government's IMF brutal austerity measures. In less than a fortnight, more than 2,300 public sector workers across the country have signed an open letter denouncing the genocide and the Australian government's complicity. Health Professionals and Allied Employees (HPAE) officials are attempting to push workers at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen into ratifying a contract that they have not had time to study. NATO bombing of Yugoslavia; NYC cop acquitted of murdering 10-year-old; Dalton Trumbo witch-hunted; Iraqi monarchy established as British protectorate.
