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.

Love it or hate it, Facebook might just be the app or website you waste the most time on.

It can be dull, irritating and even upsetting, but it's also seriously addictive.

You can either try to stay away from it altogether or resign yourself to the fact that you will keep coming back, and make a few tweaks to ensure you only see updates from people you actually care about, and don't waste more time on the platform than you need to.
