Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An oddly horrible book, in which a girl and a teddy, a boy and crocodile, a penguin and a pig, try to play together and end up bullying and being bullied in turn. All of them smile 'a revolting smile' whenever they're not being bullied, and there's something nightmarishly thuggish, priggish or vicious about all the characters, which is hardly brushed away by the last page, which smarms 'Look] Everyone is playing again. Isn't it a lovely day?'
