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.A first wholly self-composed album by the white-country-bluesman and his furred-over smear of a voice. How big was that bushel?
How bright the light! Cat can write. The music is sepia-meets-blue in hue, tight, gently rolling and delicately arranged to balance string scrapes and drums with finger-picked guitar. You'll be put in mind of peak-period John Martyn from time to time. The wisdom expressed is crusty but benign, poetic and sometimes witty.
