 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Trump did not equivocate in acknowledging his extraordinary escalation of US imperialist aggression in Venezuela and beyond. The Trump administration is seeking to provoke conflicts which would provide the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act and deploying federal troops. The abduction by armed ICE agents of a seventh grader in Massachusestts has provoked angry protests. More than 80 residents and city councilors gathered outside Everett City Hall to demand the return of the boy, who was transferred to a juvenile immigration facility in Virginia. The events since the beginning of the "ceasefire" have made clear that, like the previous ceasefire earlier this year that Israel unilaterally violated by killing 400 people in a single day, the present agreement merely marks a new phase in the ongoing US-Israeli ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza and war throughout the Middle East. A political understanding of the significance of security is inseparable from the fight for Trotskyism. Diminishing the security question is a product of revisionism. The underlying cause of man-made disasters and the overall decline in social conditions is the capitalist system, which places profit over the lives of the working class. The October 23 strike by teachers, healthcare workers and others will be the biggest in four decades, pointing to growing opposition to austerity and militarism. The Madras Rubber Factory (MRF) Employees Union (MEU) working with the Stalinist CITU federation betrayed an indefinite strike at an MRF plant. Keaton, with her freshness and liveliness, her "free-spiritedness," spoke to a generation—or generations—that were shedding stale morals and old prejudices in the US, including in some cases anti-communism. The strike by 46,000 nurses and other healthcare workers at Kaiser Permanente continued through its third day Thursday, in a struggle that poses the possibility of a working class movement against inequality, exploitation and dictatorship. On the eve of the mass "No Kings" protests against the aspiring dictator Donald Trump, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain issued another tribute to the fascist in the White House. A new front has opened up with the imposition of major fees on Chinese built, owned or operated ships docking at US ports. Raila Odinga's death marks the end of a political career spanning more than four decades, during which he served as the chief political fixer of the Kenyan ruling class and imperialism, suppressing the revolutionary strivings of Kenya's workers and oppressed masses in defence of capitalism. The deals struck are not the result of the fight bus workers sought to wage, but of the collusion of the Unite apparatus with the private operators and Andy Burnham to protect Greater Manchester's franchise arrangements with three of the largest and most profitable bus companies in the UK. The Conservative Party conference saw discussions of an alliance with Reform, coupled with criticisms of its "populist" attitude to spending on the one hand and a wholesale adoption of its Trumpian attacks on migrants, the "woke" left and the rule of law, on the other. Public sector workers in France walk out to demand an end to austerity; Motogen workers strike over contracts as protests over conditions continue across Iran; students protest at University of Fort Hare, Eastern Cape South Africa over poor conditions 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.
