 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The lies about "weapons of mass destruction" used to justify the 2003 US invasion of Iraq are repeated in the face of Trump and Netanyahu's claims of an "imminent threat" by Iranian nuclear weapons. Fain threatened to "slit the f***ing throats" of his opponents, exposing the so-called "reform" president as just another gangster bureaucrat. Nearly a year after a judge ruled that the DOL had illegally dismissed Lehman's original complaint relating to voter suppression, the agency—under both the Biden and Trump administrations—has taken no action. Labor has repeated the lying justifications of the criminal Israeli regime for its aggression, and would inevitably participate in any direct US attack on Iran. NATO is demanding that member states commit to at least 3.5 percent of GDP on "pure" military spending, and 5 percent including necessary infrastructure projects as early as 2032. This would require an additional £40 billion annually in the UK's military budget, dictating the evisceration of health, education, housing and welfare spending. The surge in support for Mamdami, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, reflects popular opposition to inequality and war, which the DSA seeks to channel back into the Democratic Party. In the aftermath of the targeted shootings by a fascist Trump supporter of Democratic state lawmakers in Minnesota, Donald Trump and a number of MAGA Republicans have made statements calculated to stoke more fascist violence against members of the nominal opposition party and political opponents of the Trump regime. The UBS report on global wealth, developed for the purpose of informing the super-rich about trends in wealth accumulation, is an indictment of the capitalist system where a tiny handful of billionaires have incalculable financial assets as billions of people are plunged deeper into poverty and hunger. A man with family roots in Palestine described the impact of the Gaza genocide on his family:"While the world looks to the events in Iran, Israel is using the silence to continue bombing Gaza undisturbed." A flattering write-up in the Washington Post is only one of a series of media reports promoting former spies and military officers as the face of the Democratic Party. Members of Philadelphia's AFSCME District Council 33 voted 95 percent in favor of a strike in response to the city's proposed contract. The ruling represents a further step in the criminalization of political opposition, which can be fought only on the basis of a sober assessment of the role played by the Peronists and pseudo-left in disarming any viable resistance in the working class. On June 13 the sad news arrived that legendary South African drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo had passed away after a long illness. While the immediate target of the new rules is clearly opposition to the intensifying Gaza genocide, they could be used to suppress any opposition to management, the government or the political establishment. Workers and young people must take the government's bolstering of the police with military personnel as a serious warning. The death of the extremely sick 17-year-old in a motel room in 2023 is an indictment of Jacinda Ardern's Labour government, which oversaw a worsening mental health crisis and declining access to services. Rail workers in one-day national stoppage throughout Greece demand investment to end appalling rail safety record; doctors in Spain join growing strike wave over falling living standards; municipal workers in Umhlathuze Local Municipality, South Africa walk out over pay and impossible working conditions, including lack of health and safety and staff shortages 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.
