Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Syria: Hundreds of ISIS Fighters Surrender to Kurdish Forces

HeadlineMar 07, 2019

In Syria, Kurdish-led forces backed by the United States say they captured 400 ISIS fighters Wednesday who were fleeing the group’s last stronghold in eastern Syria. Their reported capture came as 2,000 civilians fled the town of Baghouz, near the Iraqi border. Meanwhile, President Trump has reversed his promise—made in a tweet last December—to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. In a handwritten response to a February 22 letter from senators requesting the U.S. keep a contingent of hundreds of troops in Syria, Trump wrote, “I agree 100%.”
