 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The situation must be stated with absolute clarity: The Trump administration is moving systematically and deliberately to establish a dictatorship. The blanket tariff on all US goods was previously considered a worst-case option, but such is the level of the attack that Beijing decided to go ahead with it. Prime Minister Mark Carney's announcement of reciprocal tariffs on non-USMCA-compliant, US-made automobiles marks the third time the Canadian government has responded to Trump's trade war measures. US autoworkers are already feeling the impact of the sweeping tariffs imposed by President Trump this week as anger mounts against the UAW leadership, which has aligned itself with the fascist administration. Jacobin is echoing the official position of the Netanyahu government, the Biden administration, and the Trump administration, all of whom have claimed that Israel's assault on Gaza is a "response" to to Palestinian resistance. The resolutions, like the previous ones Sen. Sanders advanced less than four months ago, had no chance of passing and were aimed at covering up the bipartisan support for genocide in Washington. Amid profound global shocks and dangers, it is essential for workers and youth to review their bitter political experiences with the Labor government and draw the necessary conclusion—to join the fight for a socialist future. The Berlin state government is planning to deport four activists because of their involvement in pro-Palestinian protests. This action is unprecedented in Germany and shows that those in power are in no way in second place after the fascist US President Donald Trump and are using dictatorial methods to enforce the brutal pro-war policy in Germany too. Workers cannot accept the agreement at Deutsche Post. It would not only have catastrophic consequences for postal workers, but also serves as a precedent for workers in the public sector and other companies, such as the Berlin public transport operator BVG. Millions of workers in Germany are expected to pay with their jobs and wages for the €1 trillion agreed by the government for new spending on armaments and war. Nowhere is this more evident than in the country's public sector. Labour has nearly doubled the money to be spent on army recruitment campaigns this year to £17.2 million. It is spending £1.3 billion on a new Armed Forces Recruitment Service, run by private sector conglomerate Serco, set to launch in 2027. One startling conclusion of the NIESR is that "The poorest households in Slovenia and Malta are now better off than the poorest in the UK As a part of its plan to wreck the democratic principles embedded in American culture, the Trump administration issued an executive order last week to impose a fascist-like conformity on the Smithsonian Institution. Adams' move, while widely expected, further scrambles this year's contest for mayor of the largest US city. The JVP/NPP is attempting to win support in the local government elections in order to claim a renewed mandate even as it intensifies the imposition of the IMF's austerity demands. Health care as a profession is under a full-frontal assault led by the Trump administration and anti-science quack Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was installed by Trump as the head of Health and Human Services. "Our mental health system is failing patients, their families and communities" – Dr Kylie Cheng Immigrants and international students are some of the most severely affected by the cost of housing, often forced to live in degrading conditions Yoon's ousting from power does not resolve the political crisis in the country, which is above all driven by the crisis of capitalism internationally. India: ASHA workers' strike in Kerala enters eighth week; Bangladesh: TNZ Group garment workers protest for unpaid wages in Gazipur; Australia: Castlemaine Perkins brewery workers strike for higher pay; Mental health workers strike and march on Victorian parliament; New Zealand: Hospitality workers protest over low minimum wage.
