More proof that the immigration court system is an anti-democratic farce.
Immigration Judge Amy Lee orders dead non-citizen deported, finding "insufficient proof of death."
You can't make this up!
The radicalism of the youth of the 1960 was not "drug inspired." It was a response to Vietnam, the struggle for civil rights, and, even more fundamentally, the fresh and not-forgotten horrors of the two World Wars. The 1917 October Revolution had not disappeared from memory, capitalism and anti-communism were in bad odor, Stalinism was increasingly discredited, and there was a revival of interest in Trotsky, whose extraordinary books were recognized as political and literary masterworks. This resurgence was suppressed by the reactionary political climate of the Reagan-Thatcher years to which Mr. Luce was exposed, to his own misfortune, during his intellectually formative years.
But Mr. Luce correctly detects a process of radicalization among the world's youth. The question is, at what point will this radicalization break beyond the bounds of the media-vetted pseudo-leftism of people like Sanders and Mamdani and reestablish contact with the the genuine Marxian-socialist political perspective and culture that was exemplified in the October Revolution and figures like Lenin, Trotsky and Luxemburg. This break must and will occur, and the rediscovery of Trotsky's extraordinary political legacy and writings will be a critical element of the reemergence of Marxism as a mass socialist movement based on the working class.
The World Socialist Web Site has posted today a preface I have written to a new edition of Trotsky's autobiography, My Life. It can be accessed at https://t.co/79dx4RaCkC
Piker reminds one of Trotsky's description of Kerensky: "He had no theoretical preparation, no political schooling, no ability to think, no political will." He has "that kind of eloquence which operates neither upon mind or will, but upon the nerves."

@PaulSorrentino3 Indeed, a leading sheepdog. Piker’s social function is to capture the leftward energy of a generation & redirect it into the thoroughly safe channels of the Democratic Party & its satellite organizations. Important analysis of Pikers politics 👇

~16,000 residents remain under mandatory evacuation orders due to a toxic chemical leak and danger of explosion at GKN Aerospace's facility in Garden Grove, California.
@ZezimasAlt Yes, but your analysis is still overly reductive. One, photography is an art, as is writing. How do people learn about the plight of the Palestinian people? How do the Palestinian people tell the world of their plight? Photography and writing. Two, filmmaking is an art. 1/
@sovietstern Nonsense. Stalin was a counterrevolutionary who betrayed everything Lenin, Marx and Engels stood for. Stalin murdered hundreds of thousands of socialists in order to secure the rule of his counterrevolutionary bureaucratic caste. https://t.co/mMLYyAQfaj
@N0ghl Internationalism is not dead, and there is a genuine socialist political organization seeking to unite the working class. Turn to the factories, schools, hospitals and other workplaces. https://t.co/A38xURm5W1
This barbarism, which is being carried out with international cooperation, requires the international cooperation of the working class as a counter. Nothing else is capable of stopping it!
This letter, signed “A. Lincoln”, appeared in my email this morning. Despite its unexplained origin, the signature demands that attention be given to the letter; and, for this reason, it is being made available to readers of the WSWS.
