The White House getting gutted for a one-man vanity project that benefits no one but said man, right after 7 million people said “please fuck off,” is such immaculate symbolism it’s making my head spin.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

This week in history: October 20-26. 25, 50, 75, 100 years ago. 50 years ago, a Soviet Union space probe sent the 1st photo from the surface of another planet, Venus. Capitalism already expands war preparation into space, and seeks to claim private territory on the moon. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

This week in history: October 20-26

Ivory Coast military coup leader ousted; Soviet Venera probes send back first images of Venus; Australian government outlaws Communist Party; Fascist Italy expands Somalia domain.

After the June No Kings, Trump sent troops to 5 cities. #NoKingsOct18 demonstrated a force that can defeat dictatorship but Trump prepares military under the Insurrection Act. The #SEP program for the power of the working class needs to be implemented. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
