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.

The fourth album by self-styled “unpleasant socialist R&B band” Thee Faction has as its stated goal “complete human emancipation”.

A dozen exhilarating attacks on austerity in a Redskins-meets-Dr Feelgood style, Good Politics is packed with quotable slogans (“We didn’t start a class war ... but we’re gonna end one”, “The House Of Lords over the cliff in a bus”). Thee Faction defy you to say they’re joking. They are. They aren’t. They are/n’t.
