 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Socialist Equality Party insists that one principle—human need—must in all circumstances take precedence over the wealth and profits of the super-rich. In addition to the direct threat the fires pose, the smoke produced as a result is enormously toxic and dangerous. Materials including microplastics, mercury and lead, as well as the chemicals carbon monoxide, benzene and dioxins are very common in urban fires. The World Socialist Web Site spoke to numerous workers and residents in the city, on the direct impact of the fire, as well as the connected social and political issues. We ask all our readers in the Los Angeles area to write to US about their experiences with the fires this week. Obama's friendly exchange with Trump sent a signal that dominant sections of the state are prepared to accept as president a man who, just months earlier, they had correctly identified as a fascist and would-be dictator. President Sheinbaum is scrambling to prevent Mexican workers from becoming conscious of the seriousness of Trump's threats and her own administration's shift to the right. Multi-billionaire and Trump confidant Elon Musk is continuing his campaign of support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD).

The film attempts to depict the famous diva's final days in 1977. Behind the political fight over the new tolling program is a deepening crisis in the transportation system in New York City and around the country for which neither political party has an answer.

We know workers at National Steel car are going through a rough time right now.
