“It’s tempting for me to use my mayoral platform to start a big conversation around socialism, but I don’t think that’s what I was elected to do,” said Mayor Katie Wilson of Seattle, a putative socialist. This is surely news to her supporters. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

A postal worker in Georgia was made to work in a building where construction work was taking place. After inhaling dust, she got sick, fell into a coma, and was hospitalized. She was denied workers’ compensation and was fired. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump is calling for a 66% increase in the Pentagon budget: a total of $1.5 trillion. This demand bespeaks the delusion that the US can blast its way out of its economic and political crisis. Securing these funds will require unconscionable austerity. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
