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.

Poor old Weasel! He seems to be having a serious crisis of identity these days - first he can't decide on his proper habitat (the City Road versus Canary Wharf), and now he seems to have converted to being a semi- aquatic herbivore! Last week (Up & Down Canary Wharf, 18 February), not only did he confess to watching avidly the Secret Life of Plants because his "relationship with the things is...intestinally direct", but then he concluded his column with the admission that he had spent his "lifetime sneaking through the shallows of a hundred ponds and lakes". Is he becoming a vegetarian mink? Maybe he has been taking advantage of the new Dzhuna- 1 machine, because, after all, he quotes the Russian mystic healer Dzhuna (with thinly disguised approval) as saying, "I want to live, and I don't see why chickens shouldn't too." Perhaps he should seek a few sessions with a zoologist to get him back on the right track.
