Far from opposing Trump, The Democrats are collaborating with him. Whatever its verbal declarations of opposition, the Democratic Party, which is funded by and subservient to the same oligarchs and devoted to the defense of capitalism, shares large portions of Trump’s agenda.

Homeless Detroit mother could still be scapegoated for deaths of her children Tateona Williams, 29, lost two of her children as she and her family sheltered in a van parked in a casino garage on February 10.

A crime has certainly been committed, but not by Tateona Williams. The entire political establishment including both capitalist parties are responsible for social murder.

Amid disarray following Trump-Zelensky rift, Europe’s leaders prepare for war Whatever attempts at a compromise are made and whatever the difficulties posed to London, Paris and Berlin, the direction is toward open conflict with Washington.

While still seeking US support in the form of an air defense “backstop,” future plans centre on European military rearmament on a scale not seen since the 1930s.

Major US think tank highlights importance of critical minerals Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau has said that when Trump raised the issue of the country’s minerals he knew the president’s threats of annexation were a “real thing.”

The conflict between US & the European Union over how the spoils of the Ukraine war should be divided up has revealed once again that imperialist wars are not fought for “democracy” or “self-determination,” “protection” of small nations, “peace,” etc., but for plunder. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Deportation of Miami teacher exposes bipartisan character of attack on immigrants A Miami-Dade middle school science teacher, a DACA recipient, was detained by ICE and then deported, in the final days of the Biden administration.

The deportation took place under the Biden administration, one week before Trump’s inauguration. The cruelty of the action is characteristic of the US immigration system, regardless of which party is in power.

The European response to Trump is no less reactionary than his own fascist policies. It is to rearm, rearm and rearm... Talk of increasing military spending to 3 to 5 % of GDP can only be extracted through brutal attacks on the working class.

Jacobin preaches complacency, covers for Democratic complicity in Trump’s moves to dictatorship There is nothing new in the efforts of <em>Jacobin</em>and the DSA to sow complacency and politically disarm the working class. This was their response to Trump’s attempted coup of January 6, 2021.

Jacobin magazine, the main media outlet of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), is engaged in a deliberate and systematic effort to downplay the threat of fascism and dictatorship posed by the second Trump administration.
