 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. All of the imperialist powers claim their military expenditures are purely for defensive purposes, with budgets designated as "defence spending." This is a grotesque lie. Miller's threats are an urgent warning that the only social force capable of defending democratic rights is the working class. More than 1,000 rallies throughout the US to oppose the Trump administration were held on May Day, the day of international worker solidarity, in one of the largest turnouts in recent decades. The regional electorate is a microcosm of the social consequences of the assault on industrial jobs, enforced by Labor and the union bureaucracy. Union speakers could not openly discuss the election, because to do so would require an explanation of why they continue to back Labor, which has spent the past three years demonstrating its pedigree as a pro-war, big-business government that is totally hostile to the working class. Hundreds of artists have signed an open letter opposing artistic censorship while Kneecap's music downloads and ticket sales have rocketed. About 200 protesters gathered in the evening at Wilson Plaza to screen The Encampments, a documentary chronicling the wave of student-led protests against Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza. The dissolution of UAWD is further proof that the anti-working-class actions of the UAW bureaucracy are not the result of merely "bad" policies, but express the social interests of the apparatus itself. The Teamsters bureaucracy sits upon a treasure chest of nearly $650 million dollars, which it uses almost exclusively to pay itself exorbitant salaries and benefits.

Reform UK has only been able to make a breakthrough due to the abandonment of any defence of the working class by the Labour government and the trade unions. The Left Party's solidarity with the oligarchic regime in Kiev, which is dominated by far-right forces, goes hand in hand with its support for the reactionary government campaign to exclude representatives of Russia from the commemorative events marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War on May 8. The National Party-led government wants to cut pay for doctors and nurses as part of sweeping attacks on the public health system. Industrial Bank of Korea workers demand higher pay; Nepal: Striking teachers brutally attacked; Indian dockers plan national strike; New Zealand rest home support workers strike About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
