 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Mass opposition is developing to the fascist in the White House, but the movement can only go forward through a break with the Democratic Party and a struggle against the capitalist system. A forensic analysis of the bodies, along with a smartphone video captured by one of those killed, shows that the official Israeli narrative regarding the deaths and mass burial of 15 Palestinian aid workers near Rafah on March 23 is nothing but lies. Filmmaker James Longley sent the WSWS the following eloquent statement, which focuses on the catastrophe in Gaza and the criminals responsible. The two-day selloff last week was the fourth most significant in the post-war period. The union's main concern is not about workers' rights but the disruption of its mutually beneficial relations with hospital management and the state. The SEP candidates are alone in fighting to build an independent, socialist movement of the working class against the program of war, austerity and increasing authoritarianism, supported by every other party.. What is starker in 2025 than ever before is the growing gulf between the interests of the workers the unions claim to represent and those served by the Labor Party and its governments. Public health officials are struggling not only with the disease itself but also with the disinformation fueling vaccine hesitancy, emanating above all from Trump's Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who continues to downplay the outbreak. Over 400 Jewish students, faculty and staff at the University of Michigan have signed open letters denouncing the administration's "weaponization of antisemitism."

Sir Keir Starmer's right-wing government—with just nine months in office—is now the only Labour government in history that has increased child poverty under its rule. In Parliament last Wednesday, Starmer denounced the strike and demanded it end. Two days later police were sent to break up picket lines. The shock-and-awe tactics used by the CWU and Royal Mail to enforce the USO pilot scheme is proving insufficient to quell growing suspicion and anger. Allegations of "terrorism" and "threats to national security" are being exploited by the JVP/NPP government to intimidate and silence critics of Israel's mass murder in Gaza. Doctors are demanding a 30 percent salary increase, safe working conditions and other measures to stop escalating cases of burnout amongst doctors. The question of war shaped the programme of the book fair. On the one hand, warmongers were given a stage for their great power propaganda, while on the other hand, an increasing anti-war sentiment could be seen among many visitors. Today's immigrant jails will be utilized tomorrow to detain workers who oppose the Trump administration's fascistic government.
