1.  The US Supreme Court's defense of President Trump's mass deportations is a new milestone in the collapse of the constitutional framework of the United States and a component part of an overarching conspiracy to establish a dictatorship

2. The "complacency and cynicism" of a "more or less" that carries a truckload of meaning:  former US President Barack Obama gives a speech at an expensive private college

3. The US Department of Homeland Security begins revoking the temporary protected status of tens of thousands of immigrants, who legally entered the United States using an app provided by the department's enforcement agency

4.  Autoworkers face layoffs and worse conditions while UAW President Shawn Fain defends Trump's tariffs

For decades the UAW has used anti-foreigner demagogy to deflect the anger of workers over concessions and job cuts away from the union bureaucracy and against brother and sister workers in Asia and Latin America. One tragic product of this was the death of Chinese American draftsmen Vincent Chin, who was beaten to death in 1982 by a Chrysler foreman and his unemployed son who thought Chin was Japanese.

5. Union bureaucracies, including the National Association of Letter Carriers, are enabling US President Donald Trump and his MAGA-fascists to privatize the US Postal Service

In the face of growing frustration and anger in the working class, pseudo-left factions of the bureaucracy are deploying “rank-and-file” rhetoric to prevent this opposition from breaking free of the union’s control. In the USPS, one of the main such groups is Build a Fighting NALC (BFN).

BFN insists that workers cannot take action without the permission and support of the bureaucracy. Rather than encouraging a genuine rank-and-file rebellion, they falsely claim that workers can pressure the bureaucracy to reform itself and lead a fight.

8. New Zealand’s right-wing coalition government publicly downplays the effects of US President Donald Trump's tariffs

9. After three years of war, the Putin regime is increasingly unable to control the war's explosive social consequences, which have exacerbated the internal contradictions of Russian capitalism

While [US President] Trump is interested in a deal that will allow the US to exploit the raw material resources of Ukraine and Russia at the expense of its imperialist rivals in Europe, he is increasingly dissatisfied with Putin’s dragging out the negotiations. Now, these tensions are exacerbated by a global trade war.

A peace treaty, even if it is reached, no matter how much verbal guarantees and ostensible actions accompany it, will only be a temporary truce.

11. Laid-off National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health workers attending an anti-Trump rally in Pittsburgh describe what it was like to be targets of DOGE's "chainsaw"

The workers take great pride in their contributions to workplace safety. “We are saving lives. We are making workplaces safer,” said one worker. “If you have to wear a respirator at your job, it must have a NIOSH tag. We certify that those respirators do what they are supposed to do.”

12. While other countries respond to US President Donald Trump's tariffs by seeking to talk and negotiate, China digs in for a major battle

Ever since President Obama launched his anti-China “Pivot to Asia” in 2011, announced from the floor of the Australian parliament, many countries in the region have been seeking to maintain a balancing act between China, to which they are deeply connected economically, and the US.

15. Protesters rally in Berlin, Germany to oppose state actions targeting four anti-genocide activists

Katja Rippert of the Socialist Equality Party: 

In the United States, we are once again witnessing the enforced conformity [Gleichschaltung] of universities. University administrations are bowing to Trump’s demands and enabling the deportation of opponents of the war.

Here in Germany, too, the elites are building a police state. Despite their differences with Trump, they agree on one point: any protest within their own population should be suppressed by all means.

17. The Postal Workers Rank-and-File in the UK will host an online meeting this coming weekend to discuss the CWU-Royal Mail "USO reform"

Anger toward the Communication Workers Union’s naked collusion with the company is growing. But this opposition must be organized and prepared in advance with a worked-out strategy
