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.

HOME HONEY, I'M HIGH

Lines written upon leaving

a lig

I heard the tunes

I met the band

I networked with

And shook the hand

Of every hoary roadie who

Had soldered on a plug or two

I drank the booze

I ate the grub

I snuck off to a nearby pub

Trying to find

A loo of sorts

Not being used for nasal sports

Partner hanging on my arm

Someone else's

But no harm

Said, 'The barmen must be keen

One just sniffed that mirror clean'

Got the freebies, saw the vid

Asked a woman what she did

'When?' she countered, 'Later on?'

'No, before the band comes on'

Normally I drive the van

But I lig therefore I scam

And the band?

Forget the name

All these grungers sound the same

Got so bored I thought I'd die

. . . Home honey, I'm high
