New Trump executive order tightens noose on free speech at American universities Late Wednesday, the Trump administration announced an executive order aimed at transforming American universities into a surveillance and enforcement arm of the military-intelligence-immigration enfor...

Trump executive order escalates anti-democratic reign of terror on campuses. The slander of "anti-Semitism" to target students opposed to the genocide is particularly rich coming from an administration packed with fascists and genuine anti-Semites.

5/5 Trump’s return underscores the bankruptcy of American capitalism and its ruling class. Opposition must come from the working class, armed with a socialist program to fight war, inequality, and repression. Read the full analysis: www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

4/5 But for all the threats and braggadocio, the Trump administration will be wracked by crisis. The policies of social reaction and imperialist plunder abroad are the response of a ruling class contradictions for which American capitalism has no rational response.

3/5 The past four years of the Biden administration have paved the way for this political debacle. The Democrats under Biden have been singularly focused on escalating global war, from the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

2/5 Four years after his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Trump’s recitation of the presidential oath, pledging to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” will be the first lie of his second term. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

1/5 In one week, Donald Trump—felon and aspiring dictator—will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the US. The event will mark the calamitous nadir of American democracy.

The Trump administration and the escalating imperialist war in Ukraine The Democrats’ overriding concern is not Trump’s authoritarian designs but safeguarding the continuity of the Biden administration’s central imperialist objective: the war against Russia in Ukraine.

During the campaign, Trump made occasional warnings about the danger of “World War III,” while stating that he favored some sort of negotiated end to the conflict in Ukraine. This, however, will be among the first demagogic statements that will be jettisoned.

The character of the new Trump regime, as the open dictatorship of finance capital, is summed up in the appointment of Musk, the richest man in the world, and Ramaswamy, who is estimated to have a net worth of $1 billion, to head a department of government efficiency.

Trump nominates a fascist for Attorney General, Biden shakes his hand and wishes him success. There could hardly be a more devastating exposure of the Democratic Party. It is not fighting fascism, but enabling it.

Biden will push Trump to back Ukraine in transition meeting: Adviser Outgoing US president is expected to start making his pitch to Donald Trump during a transition meeting on Wednesday.

Biden declares the Democrats will do "whatever we can" to ensure Trump has "what he needs".

Trump, as he assembles a fascist cabinet to destroy democratic rights, declares in response that it is a "nice world" today.

Trump assembles cabinet of fascist repression and imperialist war The two priorities of the incoming administration are preparing for war with China and arresting and deporting millions of migrants.

As Trump prepares to rapidly implement his plans for a dictatorship, the Democrats are acting as if it is their responsibility not only to guarantee Trump’s succession but to help implement his policies.

Harris: "I will always listen to you"

Also Harris:

Clinton cites scripture to justify genocide in Gaza. There is no evidence that King David ever existed, much less that he ruled over what is now the West Bank. But what may or may not have happened in the Bronze Age has precisely zero bearing on contemporary international law.

Clinton talks like a Nazi, justifying mass murder.

"It isn't how many we've had to kill", he says, thereby confirming in the process that "we", that is the Biden-Harris administration and American imperialism, are direct participants in the genocide.
