 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The case of Nancy Wohlforth, a.k.a. Fields, and the origins of Security and the Fourth International On Tuesday, May 20, a memorial for Nancy Wohlforth was held in the national headquarters of the AFL-CIO. Notably absent was any reference to her central role in an attempt to destroy the Workers League, forerunner of the Socialist Equality Party. The tax and spending bill codifies Trump's tax cuts, greatly expands the border Gestapo and military, while imposing Medicaid work requirements and cuts to food assisstance programs. The latest Trump administration action could compel more than a quarter of Harvard's student body, all of whom are in the US legally, to transfer schools or leave the country. In this exclusive interview with the WSWS, Dr. Daszak recounts the story of his persecution and that of other principled scientists falsely accused of bearing responsibility for the COVID-19 pandemic. RP tries to reconcile verbal invocations of revolution, internationalism and Trotskyism with its own ties to Stalinist, social-democratic or bourgeois liberal parties and national union bureaucracies that support war and are violently hostile to Trotskyism. An international petition has been launched for the release of Ahmad Mammadli and Afiaddin Mammadov, political dissidents arrested in Azerbaijan. Kneecap have refused to be cowed by their persecutors, while making clear they have never supported Hamas or Hezbollah or endorsed the killing of MPs. De Niro finished his speech by recalling the revolutionary slogans of the French Revolution—"Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité." A worker was killed at the Hanwha Qcells solar panel plant in Cartersville on Monday and another was killed at the construction site of the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America battery plant in Savannah on Tuesday. Volvo Group's decision to lay off nearly 1,000 workers is part of the global attack on the jobs, wages and conditions of the working class. These attacks must be resisted! A year after catastrophic flooding, the Brazilian government's negligence and capitalist priorities leave Rio Grande do Sul's working class in crisis. While the protests express a growing opposition to Trump's fascistic agenda, the pseudo-left organisers are seeking to channel those sentiments behind Australian nationalism and a pro-war Labor government. Far from mobilising workers against the changes, the union leaders have created the conditions for the protest rallies to be miserable affairs, serving only to demoralise those who want to fight. Anticipating angry protests, Next management informed employees about the closure via WhatsApp messages on Monday night, after they returned to their homes. The determination of the administration to continue with tax cuts, come what may, is an expression of one of the most fundamental features of the US economy—the dependence of corporations and finance capital on money from the state. Striking workers must be onguard against sellout as official talks resume and demand that trusted workers, elected by the rank and file, take part in all talks and report to the membership. Rafał Trzaskowski, the candidate for the Tusk government, narrowly won the first round of the presidential election. His victory in the run-off is, however, uncertain. Beyond immediate workplace grievances, the strike reflected a growing political opposition to the subordination of life to profit among healthcare workers. The scandal lifts the lid on how the union bureaucracy as a whole lives—its corrupt appetites, its essentially parasitic and hostile relationship to the workers they claim to represent and their deep ties to management and the capitalist parties. Guy Edward Bartkus, 25-year-old resident of Twentynine Palms, California, targeted a fertility clinic in Palm Springs with a car bomb, killing himself and injuring four others.
