 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The visit by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman culminated in a lavish dinner in his honor with dozens of Wall Street executives and other billionaires. Declaring "Education Week," Trump launched a sweeping attack on the Department of Education, with the aim of refashioning schooling in line with corporate and military interests. Governor Greg Abbott of Texas issued a proclamation on Tuesday declaring two long-standing Muslim organizations as "foreign terrorist organizations," even though US states do not have the authority to issue such declarations. After nearly three months on strike, the United Steelworkers International is trying to ram through a sellout contract behind the backs of 650 workers at Libbey Glass. Russell's coworkers are coming forward and speaking out about dangerous conditions and a toxic environment inside the plant. The mass Palestinian uprising, its defeat and the expulsion and imprisonment of its leaders at the hands of the British army is largely unknown outside the Middle East, particularly in Britain itself. While the Berlin state government, a coalition of the Christian Democrats (CDU) and Social Democrats (SPD), plans to tighten the city's police and domestic intelligence laws, accusations have emerged of questionable public funding practices in the cultural sector favouring Zionist lobby organisations. The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration (TOSHA), charged with protecting workers from industrial hazards, had inspected AES only once in 20 years. The conditions are emerging for a powerful movement in defense of the right to healthcare, but this requires a fight against the union bureaucracy, which slashed the size of the strike by more than half with last-minute sellouts. One miner said, "The people all the way up, that own the companies, don't care that much. They're just money-hungry and not willing to take the correct procedures, fix the equipment." The company Polymetals announced yesterday that "mining and milling operations have successfully recommenced" and that continuous shift work was being reinstated. Katie Wilson's election as mayor of Seattle reflects growing anger at the two-party system. But her career shows a middle-class orientation incapable of fighting the corporate oligarchy. The fascistic administration of Governor Greg Abbott, at the behest of Trump, is seeking to ensure that the approximately 1.6 million students attending public universities in Texas only come into contact with instructional material acceptable to the far right. Despite talk of a "revolt" against the Labour leadership over the measures, which include ending the permanent residency status of refugees, less than two dozen of the party's MPs have bothered to register any form of protest. The column penned by former Quebec City Mayor Régis Labeaume was a blunt warning to the Parti Québécois that its virulent attacks on immigrants and minorities could hurt the Quebec indépendentiste cause by exposing the fiction that it has any democratic, let alone, "progressive" content. These are not "industrial accidents" but industrial murders, the direct result of the profit-driven assault on essential safety precautions by the capitalist class. "Albo won on a landslide with health as a primary big issue. They said 'we're going to fix Medicare' and then suddenly, we're facing closure." The shutdown of GP and counselling services at three Melbourne community health centres further highlights the deepening crisis in public healthcare funding under the federal and state Labor governments.
