 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. It has taken little more than a year for the "reform" pretensions of Fain & Co. to be definitively exposed as nothing more than hypocritical lies, aimed at giving a facelift to the UAW bureaucracy's corporatist, antiworker policies. The Israeli government and military have committed systematic "crimes against humanity," including "extermination," during its eight-month-long assault on Gaza, a key United Nations commission found in a report published Wednesday. The Socialist Equality Party (UK) is standing candidates in the general election to build a socialist anti-war movement, based on the working class. While decrying the genocide in Gaza, the Australian Greens are vociferous supporters of the US-NATO proxy conflict against Russia that threatens nuclear world war. Mike Head urged listeners to support the global campaign to free 25-year-old Ukrainian socialist Bogdan Syrotiuk, the victim of a political frame-up for his socialist opposition to war. "Bogdan's imprisonment is a threat to workers in Canada who oppose the war to be quiet, but we will not be silenced. His arrest also tears apart the lies of the imperialist powers justifying their war of aggression against Russia and using the working class of Ukraine as cannon fodder for the predatory interests of imperialism." Among workers and youth, there is broad and growing anger over Macron's reaction to the far right gains in the European elections, which hands the political initiative to the far right. In a bid to block all challenges to the two preferred parties of the financial oligarchy, the Democrats filed the lawsuit less 24 hours after members of the Green Party submitted over 29,000 signatures, nearly three times the minimum requirement, to appear on the ballot. The response by President López Obrador and his protégé Sheinbaum has again unmasked their nationalist bluster about defending "national sovereignty" and migrant rights. The main purpose of the "reform" bill is to open the way for profit-hungry international and local investors to exploit Sri Lanka's highly lucrative electricity industry. A meeting of Western Sydney University (WSU) staff and students on Wednesday voted to form a rank-and-file committee to oppose the job destruction and restructuring at WSU College. After anticipating three rate cuts over the year back in March, most Fed officials now expect one at most. A long overdue report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine on the state of Long COVID in the US was finally released last week. This exhaustive research and investigation provides a devastating overview of the impact of Long COVID on the population. The Amazon Prime series based on the role-playing game of the same title, depicts—in a puerile and unserious manner—the conditions in the US 200 years after a nuclear war. Barely a week after the IG BAU construction union called off its strikes and agreed a wage settlement, construction companies have announced 10,000 job cuts.
