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. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

It was the first major attack in the area in more than three years. Meanwhile, hundreds of demonstrators turned out in Kadhimiya to protest the visit of Vice President Dick Cheney. Iraq was Cheney’s first stop on a week-long Mideast tour.
