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.

Halt any plans you had to actually get things done in the near future, because a website is coming from FFX that will make all 207 hours of The Simpsons available to stream whenever you want.

Simpsons World will provide "authenticated viewers" (paying ones) with "instant and on-demand access to every single Simpsons episode ever, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via SimpsonsWorld.com, and FXNOW apps for iPhone, iPad, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Android phones and tablets, Smart TVs, and additional set-tops devices," according to a press release from FXX.

The site is aimed at both casual and super fans, and follows a $750 million deal FXX broke for the exclusive cable and VOD rights to the long-running cartoon.

The network will marathon all 522 episodes in the US in April, though there is no news yet on whether Simpsons World will be available to UK viewers and at what price.

The cartoon will go on a full scale offensive to boost ratings in September with a Family Guy crossover episode, a Futurama one and the death of a key character (probably Krusty the Clown).
