Hi there,

In the six months since President Trump’s inauguration, we have seen unprecedented attacks on the press. Instead of pushing back, corporate owners of commercial networks are caving in. Because we do not accept any corporate or government funding, we rely on audience members like you to sustain our work. I hope you will donate today to support our independent journalism.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Human Rights Watch Says U.S. Committed Apparent War Crime in Yemen Port Attack

HeadlineJun 05, 2025

Human Rights Watch is calling for an investigation into the U.S. bombing of an oil port on Yemen’s Red Sea coast on April 17 that killed 84 people and wounded more than 150 others. Forty-nine of the dead were port workers. Also killed were several truck drivers, two civil defense workers and workers’ family members, including three children. Human Rights Watch said the U.S. government’s decision to strike the oil facility while hundreds of workers were present shows a “callous disregard for civilians’ lives.”
