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.

Surf's up (below)! Or is it? It's wave-riding time and even if the domestic beaches featured here, Fistral and Perranporth, are the proverbial mill ponds, Surfstation's cameras positioned over the finest beaches of Hawaii, Australia and South Africa show where the spume is really flying.

Microsoft's attempts to club the Internet into submission have ensured Bill Gates a less than cosy on-line welcome. If you're in any doubt as to why, Philip Greenspun's site is a handy primer. Bitchy and obsessive, it's a no-holds barred attack and includes the "Bill Gates Personal Wealth Clock".
