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.

Rodan, Rolan, Zowie, Dweezil

Ahmet, God, Enuuka, Ono
When a pop star names a son
Diva, Pixie, Dandelion

Peaches, Trixibelle, Moon Unit
Chastity, Hiraani, Karis

Muffled plea to pop star father:
"Can't I change my name to Ron?"
"No you can't - and take that suit off
Roll my joint and pour a drink
Put away those business papers
What will my musicians think?"
