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.

Letter:

Nato under attack

Sir: Robert Fisk's expose of Nato's "three o'clock follies" (" `It all went very well,' said the general. `Another effective day.' '', 15 May) was an excellent piece of informative, intelligent and unpretentious journalism.

I have watched these press conferences live and they are undoubtedly the most disgusting example of dehumanising PR, packed with allegations and "evidence" that would be questionable to a five-year-old.

I'm surprised that they haven't yet accused children of being couriers for the Yugoslav army, targeted cows for providing milk or deliberately destroyed 800-year-old monasteries to demoralise the Serbs... oh, sorry, that's been done.
