Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED until midnight ET, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. 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!

Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill Rep. Pramila Jayapal

HeadlineJul 14, 2022

A 48-year-old has been arrested in Seattle on suspicion of hate crime after he allegedly threatened to kill Congressmember Pramila Jayapal. Officers found the man outside Jayapal’s home Saturday night with a .40-caliber handgun holstered on his waist. A neighbor reportedly overheard the man yell, “Go back to India. I’m going to kill you.” Jayapal is the first Indian American woman to serve in the House of Representatives.
