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.

With just 12 days to go before its arrival, HBO has released a new trailer for Game of Thrones season 6, and it doesn't look like the White Walkers will be letting up.

The two-minute comes with the usual shuddering drums and ominous one-liners, Tormund Giantsbane saying: “I thought he was the man to lead us through the Long Night but I was wrong," as we see a shot of Jon Snow's corpse/soon to be resurrected body.

All the other key bits you need to look out for:

- Jaime beefing the High Sparrow

- Bran opening his eyes among the Weirwood roots in the Three-Eyed Raven’s cave

- Daenerys being stripped by the Dothraki for obligatory nude scene

- Arya's assassin training coming along nicely

- Sansa bearing the Stark sigil! Sophie Turner said Sansa will be a "badass bitch" this season

- A hint that the Freys will get their comeupance

- Jorah trying to hide his increasing greyscale and pretend he's still a sexy dad

- First look at Ania Bukstein as a red priestess

- A glimpse of the Tower of Joy flashback (the stabbing shot)

- Davos and Sansa apparently in the same room

- Ramsay Bolton preparing for battle with a smirk

- A soaring dragon

- Tyrion back on the sauce:

Tyrion: “Dragons do not do well in captivity,”

Missandei: “How do you know this?”

Tyrion: “That’s what I do. I drink and I know things.”
