Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

2 U.S. Soldiers Die in Fallujah; Total Now Near 800

HeadlineMay 24, 2004

In Fallujah, two U.S. soldiers died Sunday bringing the total U.S. death toll to nearly 800. The total number of Iraqis killed is not known but it is at least 11,000. A new survey by the Associated Press found that 5,500 Iraqis died violently in Baghdad and the provinces of Karbala, Kirkuk and Tikrit in the first 12 months of the U.S. occupation. In the Shiite holy city of Kufa, US forces raided a mosque over the weekend killing 32 Iraqis loyal to cleric Muqtada al Sadr.
