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.

His eyes still blaze, a
cornflower blue
On Who Sell Out, the
cover.
And ponder on what stardom means
Sat in a bath of cold baked
beans
And lurking in the
wreckage then
Of Townshend's great
obsession
The drums smashed up, the p.a. dead
He swung his mike at
Moonie's head
The stubborn jaw and
hard-man glare
Would underpin the
toughness
From early adenoidal Mod
To buckskin, golden-
permed young god
He swaggered back with
rock and roll
From Goldhawk Road to
Narnia
Stuttering "My Generation"
In the sludge of Woodstock
Nation
While running mates from
other bands
Dropped back, collected
pensions
The centaur-chested Acton
yob
Got quietly on and did his
job
The acting roles and fish
farms came
But 31 years later.
You wonder if he'd fret
about
A headline reading: Who
Sell Trout.
