We need your support to build a workers’ movement to stop Trump’s dictatorship

Video interviews conducted by WSWS reporters in Minnesota have been viewed millions of times on social media.

Hello, Minnesota has become the front line in a developing conspiracy for dictatorship in the United States. The murders of ICU nurse Alex Pretti and Renée Nicole Good by the ICE Gestapo in Minneapolis have sparked widespread outrage and opposition, and growing support for a general strike. Our work to arm this growing movement with a socialist perspective means that we need the support of readers like you more than ever. Your contribution will help sustain the WSWS' on-the-ground reporting, and even more critically, our work to build the rank-and-file organizations and a political movement in the working class necessary to stop Trump's dictatorship. Donate today In recent weeks, reporters from the World Socialist Web Site have been in Minnesota, intervening directly in protests and speaking with workers, students, nurses and healthcare workers confronting these conditions firsthand.  Video interviews conducted by WSWS reporters in Minnesota—including with a disabled Vietnam War veteran who denounced the execution of Alex Pretti as murder—have been viewed millions of times on social media. These interviews have circulated widely because they give voice to what masses of people feel but are not seeing expressed in the corporate media: anger, outrage, and a growing recognition that Trump's policies amount to state terror directed against the population. WSWS reporters have spoken with healthcare workers and nurses, including many who voiced growing support for a general strike and drew connections between the repression in Minnesota and the strikes by healthcare workers in New York City, California and Hawaii. The Democrats are moving openly to contain and suppress this opposition. They have agreed to keep ICE funded and operational, voted for massive military spending bills, and are collaborating with Trump while presenting cosmetic personnel changes as meaningful concessions. Their aim is not to stop repression, but to prevent the emergence of an independent movement of the working class. The WSWS is intervening to arm this growing opposition with a socialist political perspective. It is insisting that appeals to the Democrats and the union bureaucracy are a dead end, and that the fight against dictatorship must be rooted in the independent organization and power of the working class. This work—in daily reporting, political analysis and historical clarification—is sustained through the support of our readers.  Your contribution will help expand the WSWS's intervention in Minnesota and nationally, strengthen its coverage of strikes and working class struggles, and advance the fight to build a revolutionary socialist leadership capable of opposing dictatorship, war and the capitalist system that produces them.
