Hochul, Mamdani, the MTA, and the unions have ended the LIRR strike without releasing any details about the new tentative agreement. This is nothing but a conspiracy against the workers, who must begin organizing immediately. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

As the world confronts an Ebola epidemic, the WHO is in crisis, partly because of the unilateral US withdrawal from the organization. The ruling class has seriously damaged global public health infrastructure. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump, Vance, and other fascists held an interminable rally yesterday to promote the lie that the US was founded on Christianity and must be rededicated to it. This is a foul attempt to promote ignorance and obscure the class struggle. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The strike of LIRR workers is a major political confrontation in New York: the center of world finance. Subway and bus workers must reject all attempts to make them scab on the strike. Instead, they must join in a united struggle. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump’s repeated threats to use nuclear weapons against Iran must be taken with utmost seriousness. He heads a thoroughly criminal government that will stop at nothing to defend the interests of US imperialism. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Brian Goldstone's "There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America" won this year’s Pulitzer prize for General Nonfiction. We spoke to the author last year about how homelessness has become a lucrative industry. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The DSA's endorsement of billionaire hedge fund manager Tom Steyer in the California gubernatorial primary amply demonstrates the organization's function: to trap left-wing opposition and redirect it into the capitalist system. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The CIA director's trip to Cuba underscored not only US plans for regime change but also the utter bankruptcy of the Cuban government, which welcomed this imperialist intriguer. Workers throughout the Americas must unite to end the blockade. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump seeks to use $1.7 billion in taxpayers' money to compensate his political allies, including those who stormed the capitol on January 6. This is a brazen effort to reward far-right criminals and create a personalist regime. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

“We need to stick together now more than ever while we have the power,” said a Nexteer worker. “We need our fair share immediately, now, not later, not two years down the line. Not, 'Let’s negotiate for another year.' But now!” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The summit between Trump and Xi has not resulted in any breakthroughs, despite Xi's abject proposal to cooperate with the war criminal. The longer the war on Iran remains at an impasse, the greater the risk of a violent eruption of US aggression. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The Democrats in the House of Representatives have forced a floor debate and vote on legislation to provide more military and financial aid to Ukraine. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The Pentagon says that the war on Iran has cost $29 billion so far. But Linda Bilmes, who studied the true cost of the Iraq war, is “certain we will spend one trillion dollars for the Iran war.”‌ www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Asked whether he considered the effect of the war on Iran on Americans’ financial situation, Trump replied, “Not even a little bit.” This comment is as revealing, and of the same tenor, as Marie Antoinette’s “Let them eat cake.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

“Michael” is an exploitation intended to sanitize the singer’s image and extract more profit from him. It turns his essentially tragic life into a story of public success and personal triumph. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

AFSCME officials are working to prevent a strike by 42,000 University of California workers, including custodians, food service workers, security personnel, medical assistants, MRI technicians and respiratory therapists. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Charlie Chaplin’s “Modern Times,” which turned 90 this year, is notably contemporary. It addresses workers’ relationship with technology, police repression, exploitation, protest, unemployment, and poverty. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump has said that the criminal war on Iran is “very much under control,” though the US hasn’t achieved any of its objectives. In China, Trump is likely to ask for Xi’s help in opening the Strait of Hormuz. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

A major class and political confrontation is looming in New York as labor agreements covering more than 40,000 subway and bus workers expire on May 16, the same day a 60-day cooling off period ends for 3,500 Long Island Rail Road workers. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The same forces that allowed more than 27 million people worldwide to die in the COVID-19 pandemic are now actively dispersing carriers of a virus many times more lethal than SARS-CoV-2, while telling the public to remain calm. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

In the upcoming meeting between Trump and Xi, the latter does not represent a progressive alternative. Xi heads a capitalist government that is tied to the world market and is frantically working to contain social unrest at home. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Yet a third report from a linguistic expert has found no basis for the charge that imprisoned Trotskyist Bogdan Syrotiuk has committed treason under martial law. His unjust imprisonment belies the nonsense about Ukraine’s “democracy.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump has accused Iran of “playing games” for “47 years.” The time period underscores what this war is really about. The US wants to undo the 1979 revolution and place a new puppet at the head of Iran.‌ www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The evacuation of the MV Hondius produced the very cross-border hantavirus transmission that it was intended to prevent. Science and established public health procedures are being brushed aside so as not to impinge on profit generation. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Layoffs at Cloudflare are just the latest job cuts motivated by AI. This technology must be controlled by the working class, not the capitalists, and used to reduce drudgery and increase opportunities for learning and leisure. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump’s new counterterrorism strategy takes aim at alleged “violent left-wing extremists” while ignoring the far-right vigilantes who have attacked and murdered people. This is a blueprint for the suppression of political opposition. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The hantavirus outbreak highlights the fact that the US is less prepared for a new pandemic today than it was in 2020. The ruling class is waging an unprecedented and systematic campaign against public health and science. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The US State Department revoked the travel visas for most of the editorial board of Costa Rica’s La Nación in an unprecedented act of political intimidation directed at silencing criticism of its key regional allies, Chaves and Fernández. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

One year after the Merz-Klingbeil government took office, one thing is clear: It is the most right-wing and hated government in the history of the Federal Republic. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The considerable sums that guests spent on the Met gala, and the elaborate (and ridiculous) costumes that they wore, were created through the exploitation of workers. The wealthy flaunt their disconnection from our daily struggles. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
