Hi there,

Immigration raids are spreading across the country. The agencies meant to protect public health are being dismantled from within. Public broadcasting is being defunded... Today, Democracy Now!'s independent reporting is more important than ever. Because we never accept corporate or government funding, we rely on viewers, listeners and readers like you to sustain our work. Can you start a monthly donation? Monthly donors represent more than 20 percent of our annual revenue. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

    NATO troops along the border in Macedonia are waiting today to enter neighboring Kosovo and Russian troops headed toward the province after Yugoslav troops began leaving in trucks, armored cars and buses.

    The leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, Hashim Thasi, has promised that his group won’t attack retreating Serb soldiers, and also pledged to protect the rights of Kosovo’s minorities–mostly Serbs–and to work with Western leaders to transform his group of 17,000 irregular fighters for peacetime.
