This is the audio of the report I gave at yesterday's @WSWS_Updates webinar with @jkishore, @DavidNorthWSWS, @EricLondonSEP, and @jerrywhiteSEP. The report covers the attacks on democratic rights coming under a second Trump presidency, as well as the strategy for defending them.
Tom Carter, a member of the Socialist Equality Party's national committee, gave a detailed report at the WSWS webinar on the plans of the incoming Trump administration to evisercate democratic rights.

The Democrats have been focused on challenging Trump's assertion of unconstitutional powers in court. But what happens when Trump simply ignores the court orders? Trump and his officials will not necessarily respect the bounds of constitutional legality.

Trump: "I want the equivalent of like $500 billion worth of rare earths, and they’ve essentially agreed to do that." The inevitable last station of "slava ukraini." After all the grief and destruction, whatever's left of Ukraine will be a US colony.

No, rapper Kendrick Lamar did not "protest" Trump. In the midst of his performance, an actual protester did an actual protest, raising a Palestinian flag, but he was quickly dragged off stage and that act of protest was censored. Two different things.

Musk is the personification of fraud, corruption, and waste. Having bought the US presidency, he is illegally paralyzing all departments of government that stand in the way of his personal profit. Calling someone a "Musk" will be an insult for generations to come. Grotesque!

Amazing material only @WSWS_Updates can deliver! Essential historical insights and reference points! We can never forget: we are living in history today.

“Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” says Vance in defense of DOGE. Ten years ago that answer on a Constitutional Law 101 exam would have received an "F" in any accredited US law school. A president is not a dictator.

The new Idaho death penalty law legalizes "mechanized" executions by "remote-operated weapons systems" alongside "traditional firing squad methods." The funds for building a "firing squad facility" have been appropriated.

"We'll coup whoever we want. Deal with it." That's what Musk, a racist ignoramus, said about Latin America in 2020. As @WSWS_Updates warned all along, an oligarchy that brags about its coups abroad is capable of coups at home.

The opposite is true. The defenders of the Democrats claimed it was not a genocide, accused students of antisemitism, and backed the police crackdown. The students have been proven right. Stop trying to defend genocide.
To all the fucking Columbia students and Dearborn non voters who said “Harris and Trump are the same” a giant fuck you is in order. You made this happen and we warned you. You are now responsible for this happening.

We have a Hitler-saluting semi-trillionaire on the loose, systematically smashing his way through institutions, reforms, and legality like a wrecking ball. But the "immune system" of the state organism can't seem to stop him. The disease is terminal.

Suppose you're the world's richest man, and you're tired of your corporate empire having to comply with laws and regulations. What do you do? You buy the president. The oligarchs are through pretending this is a "democracy." They want to dominate everything directly and openly.

We spoke with WSWS about the Trump executive order. In case it wasn't clear already, we aren't going anywhere. Our demands are supported by the majority of MIT students, Cambridge, the US, and the world. We are on the right side of history.

A candid admission from the @nytimes. But it applies just as well to the newspaper itself. It's one thing to sanctimoniously call for the overthrow of "authoritarian" regimes abroad. But what happens when the "authoritarian" regime is the one at home?
