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.

According to the article, pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia blogs are posting photos of their ever-thinning bodies and visible collarbones - Kate's wasp waist during her and Prince William's North American tour has been an especially popular topic - to help their readers lose weight and stay thin.
Thin-spiration sites aren't new and almost impossible to control, but what is particularly dangerous about this new development is that while their usual photos are of style icons such as Victoria Beckham or Mary-Kate Olsen as well as fashion models, Kate and Pippa serve as role models, too.
"Every little girl at one time wants to be a princess, and these images will not only reach teenagers but middle and elementary schoolers," said Jill M. Pollack, director of the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia.
British tabloids have suggested Kate currently weighs a mere 95 pounds, but no matter the reason behind her newly tiny frame - be it working out, dieting, or the stress surrounding her wedding - fuel has been added to the debate that her destiny could turn out as that of her husband's mother after all: Princess Diana is known to have struggled with bulimia all her life.
