Snowing! And today is the last day before finals, so weβve got treats here to keep studentsβ spirits up. Gonna be a long day.
One thing not getting enough attention now that the U.S. has admitted to exterminating hundreds of elementary school girls is that many very powerful people lied about it.
If you oppose the war you need to know the context. If you've been to protests and wonder why you keep going when nothing seems to change you need to know the context. Participate tomorrow for an internationalist perspective to understand, and to learn how to fight.

Trump has precluded any deal with Iran except "unconditional surrender." The administration is prepared to attack Iran until the country is totally destroyed. The only social force that can stop this atrocity is the international working class. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

I demand the immediate release of Booker Omole! He faces brutal conditions, including lack of care for his many injuries. Ruto's regime has again revealed its hostility to the working class of Kenya.

THREAD. I want to describe a new propaganda trend. As I explained in Copaganda, we are starting to see a lot of Card Carrying Elites (economists, Atlantic writers, Harvard professors, philanthropists) feign intellectual edginess by claiming prisons are bad and even obsolete.
The groundless accusations that Trump hurled against Iran on Tuesday night were meant to justify the impending war of aggression. The US seeks to establish a "new Middle East" in preparation for a future war with China. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
The Trump administration is embracing Grok AI, the most overtly fascist AI model, while threatening Claude, the model regarded as the most capable, with destruction for maintaining even nominal restrictions. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

For once, ICE actually has arrested βthe worst of the worst.β Armando FernΓ‘ndez Larios was convicted of the murder of Chilean exile Orlando Letelier and his assistant. He also took part in systematic kidnapping, torture, and murder. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Hit the high A first time tonight. Embouchure is coming back. Gonna keep at it but I feel good!
The occupation of auto parts plants in northern Mexico evokes the Matamoros wildcat strikes of 2019. The unions, including the βindependentβ SNITIS, are standing in the way of an international struggle of North American auto workers. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Workers are responding enthusiastically to Will Lehmanβs campaign for UAW president. For this reason, the DSA, whose leaders have secured remunerative positions as union bureaucrats, is lashing out hysterically at Lehman. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

"Even the touted βGreen New Dealβ of the pseudo-left, championed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), was always based around accommodations to the oil and gas industry."
"Its participation in the 2015 Paris Agreement was grudging under Obama, immediately revoked under Trumpβs first term, rejoined by Biden as a public relations exercise and revoked again."
"Addressing climate change has always been rejected by the American ruling elite. The Clinton administration pointedly refused to ratify the 1997 Kyoto Protocol."
The ruling class will not allow, CANNOT allow, a serious, scientific approach to addressing the devastating effects of capitalism you describe. An international socialist effort is urgently required.
