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.

Nothing Prepares U 4...

We formerly presumed you mad

Though artistically rather rad

The artist 2 B known as Dad

Conceived a little while ago

And out in several months or so

The baby known as M-Bryo

So welcome 2 the parent fold

Prepare 2 put your sleep on hold

Is this a Sign O' Getting Old?

Forget the days of purple rain

The beret's in the wash again

And raspberry's not the only stain

For nothing can compare U know

When Pampers, toys and baby-gro

Are strewn around the studio

Then proud with pram in Paisley Park

Oblivious as the fans remark

The artist known as Patriarch
