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.

All schtudendts musdt wear schtockinks

Met suspendters - if they're able

Budt the universidty schuppliess

Der microphones andt cable

Corsedts may be flauntedt when

We schtudy later rekkordts

Built schtillettos are verboden

As they tendt to maark der blekkboardts

A fieldt-trip is promisedt

Andt der schtudendts hev two choices

Those medt Harlow hair-schtyles

Andt der Betty Boop-type voices

May walk der redt-light district

In der hope of Hankie Pankies

While der resdt go to a coffee schoppe

To meet some spaced-oudt yankees.

Der course will touch on music, film

Anaatomy andt faschion

Budt Sex andt Business Schtudies will

Pe there in greater raation

For a greater undterschtandink

Of Madonna by degrees

It's hardt to beat der landt of laager,

Bicycles andt cheese.
