The boundless potential of astronomical discovery contrasts sharply with the backwardness and reaction promoted by Trump and the entire American oligarchy.
The attack on NASA is particularly focused on research into climate change and continues the trend of subordinating science to private profit.
“It seems like we’re living in 1930s Germany all over again,” said Jonah.
Health care as a profession is under a full-frontal assault led by the Trump administration and anti-science quack Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was installed by Trump as the head of Health and Human Services.
By choosing Boeing to build the “next-generation” F-47, the Trump administration is reaffirming the American state’s support for a critical defense contractor.
Mo described the real culture within Boeing, including intimidation by management and a callous attitude toward the health and well-being of the workforce.
NOAA is responsible for tracking hurricanes and other extreme weather events, as well as precipitation, cloud cover, air quality and numerous other fundamental metrics essential to modern life.
Supporters of the WSWS spoke to numerous attendees on their thoughts on the fight for science and the need to connect the defense of science with the emerging struggles of the working class.
ONA bureaucrats responded to the rebuke by the rank and file during the last vote by doubling down on their efforts to starve nurses into submission.
The sellout contract, the result of the ONA’s meeting with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek three weeks ago, was resoundingly voted down by 83 percent.
Oregon’s safe-staffing law, promoted by the DSA, is entirely tailored to the needs of the for-profit healthcare system.
A fighting unity must be established with all 22,000 ONA members and broader sections of workers in the region.
The solution to the use of scabs is the mobilization of the working class, not appeals to corporate politicians. Strikers should send flying pickets to other healthcare workers in the region.
“The idea of RFK being put in office is terrible. It’s a detriment to the health of the people and will be absolutely unsafe.”
Trump’s ongoing assault against public health, democratic rights and the entire working class is transforming every emerging struggle, including those of Oregon nurses, into a political fight with the entire Trump administration and the oligarchy it represents.
The struggle of Oregon nurses must be connected to the fight against the Trump administration's fascist attacks on immigrants and dismantling of public health.
The intervention by the governor is the “kiss of death” for the striking healthcare worker, aimed at shutting down the strike with a sellout contract before it expands.
There is enormous potential to expand the strike into a broader movement in defense healthcare and the working class against the attacks by major corporations and by the science deniers in the Trump administration.
The ONA has not warned its members of the dangers posed by the threats of the Trump administration to undertake ICE raids in “sensitive areas,” which historically have included hospitals.
The fight for these demands immediately poses the need for a broader industrial and political struggle against the Democrats, Republicans and trade union apparatus.
