The International Amazon Workers Voice newsletter is assisting workers in the building of an interconnected network of committees of Amazon and logistics workers, as well as autoworkers, educators, and workers in other key industries.

The Socialist Equality Party and the WSWS has been citing the Nuremberg trials precedent for years. Just two weeks ago I spoke outside the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, where the Nazi leaders were tried in 1945-46.

@WSWS_Updates Strong statements

[World Socialist Web Site @WSWS_Updates]

"Americans don't want this war." "Democrats are controlled opposition for fascism." "We need class consciousness." "Take over the means of production, and use our labor to fight back."

Here's what protesters across the US had to say at the massive No Kings rallies on March 28.

We are in a revolutionary period, we are in a counter-revolutionary period. Which one of those tendencies will predominate? As Trotsky said in 1932-33 in the face of rising fascism, struggle will decide!

[R Coleman @RColemanWSWS]

@WSWS_Updates Sounds like something Eugene Onegin would say. Not that Chalamet would have any idea about who that is or the opera of the same name. Shameful but his comments are not just the words of an idiot—they express the ruling class attitude towards all serious art

"2019 was our first strike in 35 years, and we were sold out. And that drove me to examine Marxist politics, socialist theory."

Candidate for UAW president Will Lehman explains how his experiences as a rank-and-file autoworker have informed his political outlook.

It's said Trump has "no strategy" for the war against Iran. In fact the US and European imperialists have a very real strategy, which is to attempt to restore colonial domination all over the world. The ruling elites have declared, "Slaves you were, and slaves you shall be."

Statement by Socialist Equality Party national chairperson opposing the US-Israeli attack on Iran

The attack on Iran ordered by Donald Trump and his war-crazed cabal is a massive political crime, illegal under international law and in direct violation of the US Constitution. It has been launched, in collaboration with the genocidal Israeli regime, without even the figment of authorization from Congress, against a country which has not attacked the United States and poses no threat to it.
Within the first hours of this criminal attack, at least 24 students were killed in an air strike on a girls’ school in Minab in southern Iran. How many thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands will be killed in the days ahead?
Only four days ago, Trump appeared before Congress and the American people to deliver his State of the Union address. Even though he had obviously decided to launch the war, he concealed his decision and barely mentioned Iran in the course of his two-hour rant
Now, Trump, baseball cap on his head, announced his decision in the dead of night, while most Americans were sleeping. He has set the United States and the entire world on a disastrous course. This war will not solve the internal social crisis of American society, nor will it reverse the protracted deterioration in the global position of US capitalism.
All these contradictions, domestic and international, will be intensified. The war itself will inevitably escalate and engulf the entire planet.
No amount of media propaganda can disguise the fact that the attack on Iran is precisely what was described at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders back in 1945-46 as a “crime against peace”.
In the future, historians will compare Trump’s February 28, 2026 attack on Iran to Hitler’s September 1, 1939 invasion of Poland. They are crimes of equal magnitude.
The Socialist Equality Party demands that the bloody assault on Iran be stopped immediately.
The working class and youth and all progressive and decent people must oppose this war, which has been launched in the interests of the financial-corporate oligarchy.
The same administration that has deployed ICE agents to terrorize American cities and neighborhoods, that is violating the Bill of Rights, is the same government that has launched this criminal war.
Call meetings in your factories, work places, schools and neighborhoods demanding that the immediate end of this war.
The world must know that the American people oppose this war and want no part of it.
Take a stand. Make your voices heard.

As it is presently constituted, the UAW is a union in name only:

- Pres. Shawn Fain makes $270k/yr - 6x the income of a normal worker
- 9 regional directors make $220k
- 500-600 "international reps" make $140-160k

These officials don't worry about rent, groceries or layoffs.

[Will Lehman | WillforUAWpresident.org @WillforUAWpres]

Workers need a 50% wage increase NOW.

My campaign is demanding:
✊ Full wage recovery from decades of inflation
✊ Zero-layoff policy
✊ 30-hour work week, no loss of pay
✊ Company-paid healthcare
✊ Voluntary OT at 3x pay

If you agree, support my campaign for UAW president.

“Far from a break with austerity, Mamdani is exposing himself as a conventional bourgeois politician.”

[Will Lehman | WillforUAWpresident.org @WillforUAWpres]

I'm announcing my campaign today for president of the UAW.

I'm a Mack Trucks worker from Macungie, PA.

My campaign will mobilize the rank and file to

1) abolish the corrupt UAW bureaucracy
2) put all power in the hands of workers

Class struggle, not class collaboration!

@aniobrien A US judge eviscerated ICE’s kidnapping of 5-yo Liam Ramos - but @aniobrien has still not resiled from her lying Jan25 support of it. Now Trump’s DHS is vindictively targeting the family for deportation.

I was on MS Now tonight (MSNBC) discussing what I saw during the protests held by children & parents at the Dilley family detention center.

Families like the El Gamal family, who have been there for 8 months, are living in brutal and inhumane conditions.

Free the El Gamals!

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

Today's cold-blooded execution of a citizen of Minneapolis is Trump's response to yesterday’s powerful demonstration against ICE’s reign of terror. It is urgent that workers build a rank-and-file movement for a nationwide general strike!

Trump’s “Murder, Inc.” and the execution of Alex Pretti https://t.co/Ha9mluoxVf
The identities of the masked gunmen who murdered Pretti in cold blood are being concealed from the public. But the main instigators of the crime are not in doubt. They are President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, chief White House adviser Stephen Miller, Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem, CBP commander Greg Bovino and FBI Director Kash Patel. Vance traveled to Minneapolis the day before the January 23 protests to deliver the message that there would be no backing down and that it was open season on opponents of ICE and the CBP (Customs and Border Protection).
