 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Democrats' silence is not simply a matter of cowardice or miscalculation. It flows from the class character of the Democratic Party as a party of Wall Street and the military-intelligence apparatus. "If you see a genocide taking place and you're seeing that your government is aiding and abetting it, what else should you do but disrupt that?" The Employees of Conscience accuse studio executives in an open letter of lining up with genocide and investing in pro-Israeli propaganda while helping to suppress Palestinian filmmakers. Stellantis, the United Auto Workers and Michigan safety officials continue to remain silent on the death of the 63-year-old skilled tradesman, even as full production at the engine plant has resumed. While Prime Minister Sébastier Lecornu was unpopular, falling to 15 percent in the polls in just a few weeks, his resignation reflects not a revitalization but a mortal crisis of French democracy. The fire that destroyed the residence of Judge Diane Goodstein on Edisto Island took place under conditions of open incitement by Donald Trump and his fascist lieutenants against members of the judiciary who have ruled against measures aimed at establishing a presidential dictatorship. The rise of US debt to $37 trillion means that the global monetary system is based on the currency of the most indebted country in history, the credit rating of which has been downgraded by the three major agencies of the world. WIC, a nutrition program serving nearly 7 million pregnant women, new mothers, infants and young children, is threatened with running out of funds due to the government shutdown, and is targeted for $300 million in cuts in Trump's 2026 budget. This strike is not simply a contract dispute over wages or staffing levels. It is a political confrontation with the corporate oligarchy which is destroying public health. The African National Congress's scapegoating of foreigners has paved the way for a wave of far-right vigilantism in South Africa. Canada Post presented provocative new offers last Friday that translate the Liberal government's plans to restructure the post office at workers' expense, through the elimination of tens of thousands of full-time jobs, into contract language. The government aims to push thousands of unemployed 18- and 19-year-olds into low-paid, casualised jobs and into the armed forces. Since 2021, all indicators of financial stress have increased. These include having to ask for financial help from family, friends or welfare organisations; being unable to heat one's home; skipping meals; pawning property, and falling behind on rent, mortgage, or utility payments.
