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.

After a two-week break, the trial of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein resumed Wednesday. Hussein complained U.S. prison guards had abused him, saying: “I have been hit by the Americans and tortured. Yes, I’ve been beaten on every place of my body and the signs are all over my body.”
The trial also heard graphic testimony from Iraqis tortured under Saddam Hussein’s regime. In a statement to the court, Hussein said he thought those responsible should be punished. The trial continues today.
