Brazil’s Foreign Ministry officially acknowledged that Trump's designation of the Brazilian gangs First Capital Command and the Red Command as “foreign terrorist organizations” raises the threat of US military aggression against Brazil. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

As Trump lurches between declarations of victory over Iran and threats to annihilate it, traders with inside information are cashing in through market speculation. As always, workers face the burden of rising fuel and food prices. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Twenty-eight people were killed in a shoe factory fire in China. The shoe industry in "communist" China is marked by low wages, forced overtime, strikebreaking, safety hazards, and unpaid social insurance contributions. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The undocumented workers who witnessed the ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo have already done more to expose the truth than the entire Democratic congressional delegation. The latter is appealing to the very personnel that oversaw the murder. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Corporations are deploying AI, automation and restructuring as instruments of a deliberate class strategy: slashing labor costs and extracting ever greater profits from workers to sustain a crisis-ridden financial system. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Colombian workers can give no political support to Petro, but his accusations of electoral fraud cannot be dismissed. They require an independent investigation, and Colombian workers must unite against all parties of the bourgeoisie. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The Trump administration continued its bombing of Iran for a third day on Thursday, striking the rail lines to Mashhad, as mourners buried Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom the US murdered on the first day of the war. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo underscores the need for workers to form rank-and-file committees in every workplace, school, and neighborhood as organs of resistance to the fascistic Trump administration. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Under the pretext of providing humanitarian relief, the US has sent troops to manage Venezuela’s main airport and docked at its major port. This is the next step in the assertion of imperialist control over Venezuela and its oil. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Nurses are conducting the biggest healthcare strike in Massachusetts history. The union is already sabotaging it by separating these workers from home care clinicians and limiting the strike to one day, thus allowing the hospital to lock them out. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump effectively repudiated the 60-day truce reached between Washington and Tehran last month. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s over,” he declared. “I do not want to deal with them any more, they are scum. They are sick people.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

A chorus of criticism from the US and its allies in the Asia-Pacific has followed China’s testing of a ballistic missile in the Pacific Ocean on Monday. Meanwhile, Trump is accelerating preparations for war with China. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

How telling that the New York Times list of definitive movies about America doesn’t include any films from the late ’30s through the early ’50s, when filmmakers most seriously grappled with the challenges of life for the masses. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The UAW collaborated with Ford in the firing of Kurt Kromm based on the false accusation that he had stolen a $1.95 cookie. This is a particularly disgusting exposure of the union apparatus as the handmaiden of management. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Graham Platner is a right-wing small businessman and former mercenary with a foul mouth. The collapse of his campaign exposes the Democrats and pseudo-leftists who tried to sell us this candidate as the voice of the working class. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

More than 4,500 nurses and clinicians employed by Mass General Brigham, the largest private hospital system in Massachusetts, are set to walk out tomorrow in what would be the largest strike of healthcare workers in state history. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

When the Tennessee National Guard killed Tyrin Johnson in Memphis, Democratic Mayor Paul Young issued a muted response. He has not opposed the National Guard’s occupation of Memphis but rather cooperated with it. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The new album by Carsie Blanton and the Burning Hell features cutting humor, topical songwriting, and open opposition to capitalism. But some of the lyrics raise serious political questions. Read our review. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The G7 leaders are meeting to plot the next phase of their war to defend “democracy” in Ukraine. The government of the very country where they’re meeting is jailing political opponents, banning demonstrations, and attacking protesters. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

President Hassan’s Tanzanian government has banned all political rallies and demonstrations ahead of nationwide protests called for Tuesday July 7, Saba Saba Day. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The same ruling class that invokes free speech for masked white supremacists threatens anti-ICE critics, prosecutes left-wing protesters and hands down draconian sentences against those accused of opposing the far right. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Given its location and timing, the strike of Philadelphia Electric Company workers is a potent reflection of the ever more open confrontation between the working class and the capitalist state. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump’s tirade at Mount Rushmore expressed the fear among the ruling class of mounting left-wing opposition. Trump refuses to recognize election defeats or the legitimacy of parties with which he disagrees. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Canada has been named host nation of the Defence Security and Resilience Bank, a new multilateral financial institution designed to facilitate a massive rearmament drive by NATO members and their allies. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The same ruling US oligarchy seeking neocolonial dominion over Latin America is simultaneously engaged in the destruction of democratic and social rights within the United States itself. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The American Revolution electrified Great Britain's abolitionist movement, inspired the fight for democracy, and gave impetus to the Chartist movement. Those who minimize the American Revolution's significance serve reactionary ends. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Though unemployment fell slightly in June, 720,000 people left the labor force and household employment fell by 507,000. The decline in leisure and hospitality jobs, which usually increase in summer, show worsening conditions for low-wage workers. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The wall-to-wall coverage of the Swift-Kelce wedding is consistent with the media's promotion of the cult of celebrity and wealth. The 250th anniversary of American independence, the attack on democracy, and the deadly heat wave are pushed aside. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Postal, rail, and auto workers are laboring in excessive heat while union officials defend the companies' pro forma response. The only way that workers can protect themselves from excessive heat is by taking control of working conditions. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

More Prairieland defendants have been sentenced to decades in prison for opposing ICE and police terror. As the Republicans recast free speech and assembly as "terrorism," the Democrats maintain a complicit silence. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

“The bourgeoisie has shamefully betrayed all the traditions of its historical youth, and its present hirelings dishonor the graves of its ancestors and scoff at the ashes of their ideals,” Trotsky wrote. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

"The purpose of a Keiko Fujimori government can be defined in a single sentence: to preserve her father’s 1993 Constitution, the foundation of Peru’s vast social inequality, through increasingly dictatorial forms of rule." www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The search-and-rescue operations in Venezuela, which lacked the needed organization and equipment, are now being wound down. Venezuelans are focused on helping each other, but they will soon direct their anger at Rodríguez and the US. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

As extreme heat smothers the East Coast and Midwest, workers are being told to keep working without meaningful relief. Supervisors are simply walking around workers who have collapsed on the shop floor. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

"When the DSA candidates betray the expectations now invested in them—and they will—the beneficiary must not be the fascist right but a genuine socialist movement of the working class." www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Earlier this week, the yen weakened to 162 to the US dollar, hitting its lowest level in almost four decades despite efforts by financial authorities to prop up the currency. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Lloyds has frozen the bank account of the leftist publication Canary without any explanation. All defenders of democratic rights must oppose not only this unjust action, but also the domination of finance capital. #censorship www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The victory of DSA member Melat Kiros over incumbent Diana DeGette in a Colorado Democratic primary is yet another sign of the ongoing radicalization of workers and young people. But the DSA props up the very party that voters are rejecting. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Shamelessly ignoring or rewriting rules, Trump used the presidency to pocket $2.2 billion last year. This historic level of self-dealing is emblematic of the entire financial and corporate oligarchy. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

“We’ve gone straight, I swear!” says Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, who wants to end the government monitoring of the union. Interesting how O’Brien is making this push right after he was “re-elected” without opposition. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Mamdani’s version of socialism is “pragmatic” and eschews “manifestos.” It focuses on “concrete results” like filling potholes and encompasses strikebreaking and “productive” relationships with fascists. This is not anything like socialism! www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, but what should have been a unanimous decision was instead a 5-4 decision. This is an alarming symptom of how hostile the ruling class has become to fundamental democratic rights. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The European powers calculate that strikes deep inside Russia will force Moscow to respond, thus justifying broader NATO intervention. This logic of provocation leads to a direct war between nuclear-armed powers. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Steven Mintz, of the University of Texas at Austin, praised the WSWS webinar on the American Revolution. “What the broadcast offered—and what so much supposedly ‘radical’ history now lacks—was a serious Marxist understanding of historical development.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Climate catastrophe, like war and global economic recession, is one of the crowning proofs of the Marxist critique of capitalism and insistence on the need for social revolution. Safeguarding human life on earth means expropriating the oligarchy. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump is commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence by assaulting the separation of church and state. The ruling class must reject science, promote fundamentalism, and scapegoat minorities to maintain its rule. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The World Press Photo Foundation’s annual exhibition includes many searing images of genocide, repression, and other aspects of the world crisis. But the foundation’s connections to the Dutch state result in a policy of “neutrality.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The victories of DSA-backed candidates in the recent primaries has prompted a panicked response from the Democrats. The latter don’t fear the candidates or the DSA; they fear that the radicalization of the masses could escape their control. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Having occupied Venezuela and declared itself the power “directing policies” there, Washington bears direct responsibility for the catastrophe following the earthquake—and for the criminal refusal to answer it. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The massive deployment of the US military to Venezuela is aimed at exerting imperial control, not conducting humanitarian operations. Rodriguez, for her part, will rely more heavily on the US to buttress her power and authority. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
