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.

This is fanciful given that it sounds like Cat Power working out of the Brill Building. But that’s not such a bad thing, is it? Better, perhaps, to say what it is rather than what it’s like. It’s pop music, slightly gothic and self-involved, melodic and occasionally crashing, arranged with an eye on the needles twitching in the dramameter, always aware of its generic origins in the “soulful” 1960s. What’s it like? It’s like grimly enjoyable.
