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.Series five of The Walking Dead (Fox) picked up immediately where series four left off, with Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the gang captured by the terrifying townspeople of Terminus.
They might never have escaped, were it not for Carol (Melissa McBride), who had herself a particularly badass episode, going undercover as a walker and causing a gas explosion at long range.
As scary as that abattoir for human flesh was, it's only when the survivors are back on the open road that they must confront their existential terrors: in this walker-colonised world what's the point of surviving at all?
This week's most bleakly nihilistic line came courtesy of Tyreese's charming new acquaintance: "Friends? I don't have any friends. I mean, I know people. But they're just assholes I stay alive with."
