 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. While the war in Iran and attacks on democratic rights at home show an American ruling class plumbing the depths of barbarism, a different and progressive movement is emerging within the working class. The USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault carrier bearing the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, was tracked Tuesday transiting the Strait of Malacca on its way to the Persian Gulf. The European powers are unwilling to get involved in a war over whose course and outcome they have no influence. They want to drive a hard bargain for their participation in the war. In one of the largest pickets in recent memory, thousands of workers marched and demonstrated outside the factory Tuesday in defense not only of their own living standards, but of all workers. Though a new documentary captures UPS workers' significant discontent with the 2023 tentative agreement, it obscures the role of the Teamsters leadership in enabling mass layoffs and deteriorating conditions. Trump's expectation that a quick victory over Iran, a strategic partner of China, could be used to extract concessions from Xi has been dashed as the criminal war continues in its third week. Following a 91.5 percent strike authorization vote by student workers, the UAW bureaucracy has threatened to withhold approval of a strike unless the campus local waters down its demands. The Trump administration's Non-Domiciled CDL Final Rule, which took effect March 16, is a major new stage in the fascistic attack on immigrant workers and the entire working class. A gold-painted "King of the World" statue on the National Mall depicts Trump embracing Epstein in Titanic's bow pose, drawing crowds, mockery and widespread popular hostility toward the oligarchy. Thousands demonstrated in Toronto last Saturday in opposition to the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran and in support of the Palestinian people. New Zealand and Australian leaders hypocritically declared their solidarity with the families of 51 Muslims murdered by the fascist Brenton Tarrant on March 15, 2019, even as both governments demonise migrants and support the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza and the war against Iran. A series of rapidly forming deadly tornados struck Michigan, Oklahoma, Illinois, and Indiana between March 5 and March 10, resulting in 11 deaths, at least 20 injuries, and significant damage or destruction to hundreds of buildings across the region. Avoidable deaths mount on Los Angeles streets as Democratic politicians defend a profit system that treats human survival as expendable. King's case exposes a legal system that disposes of individuals, mostly men, whose minds were fractured long before they ended anyone else's life. King suffered a significant traumatic brain injury during childhood, causing permanent neurological damage. It was a split decision but undoubtedly the swing factor was the US war against Iran and the spike in inflation it has already produced. A boy born in Richmond upon Thames can look forward to living in good health until he reaches 69.3 years and a girl 70.3 years compared to 50.9 and 51.8 years for males and females respectively in Blackpool Rail, Maritime and Transport union General Secretary Eddie Dempsey insists a "workable solution" can still be found with TfL, having buried the fight for a shorter working week by members across London Underground.
