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.Kendrick Lamar headlined Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last night, just two days after the release of his new album DAMN.
Looking very "Kung Fu Kenny" in an Eastern outfit, Kendrick tore through some older songs and invited several guests onstage, but the set was centred around the new LP.
'BLOOD.' was first up, with the rapper coming out after the Fox News clip it samples was played above the stage (one of the pundits in it responded yesterday). He also performed 'ELEMENT.', 'LUST.', 'XXX.', 'GOD.', 'PRIDE.' (while hanging in mid-air) and closed the set with 'HUMBLE.' before coming back out for 'LOVE.'
K-Dot brought out Schoolboy Q, Future and Travis Scott during the set, all of whom were also playing at Coachella.
The festival was live streamed again this year. There isn't a playback option, but you can watch some key moments above.
