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.

The big craze of getting a real tattoo seems to be over (with many already paying dearly to have them removed), but maybe it's just the durability of it and not the look itself that designers have had enough of.
When Rodarte sprayed their models with tribal tattoos in New York this fashion week season, it could have just been another conceptual gimmick by the avant-garde designers (and they also went well with another trend: the ethnic chic).
But now, in Paris, Jean Paul Gaultier made his streetwear- and hip hop-inspired looks complete by spraying models' names onto their bodies and faces (Sasha Pivovarova, Iris Strubegger). And a designer as established as Karl Lagerfeld used rub-on tattoos for the Chanel show where models were wearing illusions of chain bracelets.
