 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Beyond the business transactions, there can be little doubt that Trump and the other American oligarchs saw in their Saudi hosts kindred spirits. They aspire to establish a dictatorship in the US to rival Bin Salman's in lawlessness and brutality, as shown by Trump's actions since his return to the White House. To help cover some $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and corporations, the House Republicans proposed at least $880 billion in cuts centered on Medicaid, the primary insurance for about one-fifth of the US population. The contrast between the treatment of the white South Africans and the hysterical campaign against refugees and immigrants could not be clearer. A few crocodile tears from German politicians about the suffering of the Palestinians and cynical references to Germany's own historical crimes against the Jewish population cannot hide the fact that German imperialism is once again playing a key role in the implementation of genocide. The UK has been caught red handed enabling Israel's violations of international law and therefore violating its own obligations under international law. Starmer's government is guilty of war crimes. This summation was given by Socialist Equality Party (UK) assistant national secretary Thomas Scripps at the International May Day 2025 Online Rally, held Saturday, May 3. The European powers are engaging in a massive military build-up aiming to develop Europe as a bloc that can wage aggressive imperialist wars independently of the United States. It is essential to expose the underlying grounds of the process that led the PKK to dissolve itself and the falsity of its claims of "democracy and peace". The election is being held to replace former President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was removed from office last month after being impeached for attempting to impose martial law in December. An inquiry independent of Stellantis, the United Auto Workers (UAW) apparatus and state authorities is essential to uncover the truth, expose systemic safety violations and prevent future deaths. Workers must build new organizations of class struggle that correspond to their position as a class objectively unified across national borders by the process of production and exploited by profit-hungry transnational corporations. Erika Mateo, a 24-year-old pregnant Guatemalan woman, was taken into custody and held under armed guard by the Department of Homeland Security and placed under expedited removal. After giving birth, she was transferred to ICE custody and denied access to her attorney, family and friends. Twitch streamer Hasan Piker was detained for several hours in Chicago and interrogated on his political beliefs. The key ministers who prosecuted the previous Labor government's militarist and socially regressive policies retain their posts but changes to the ministerial line-up signal a further lurch to the right. The much diminished party-room was split down the middle, presaging further ructions. The Albanese government's financial squeeze is aimed at forcing the universities to integrate themselves more fully into the demands of big business and the military, as set out in Labor's Universities Accord. The company cites weak demand, financial losses, and shifting trade policies as reasons for the closures. The letter begins by calling attention to the fate of 25-year-old Fatma Hassoun, a Palestinian freelance photojournalist, murdered in an Israeli air strike on April 16. In defiance of mounting rank-and-file anger over job cuts, the UAW bureaucracy is continuing to promote Trump's tariffs and foul anti-Mexican sentiment.
