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.In homage to the new collection `More Best of Leonard Cohen'
Draw the curtains, dim the light
Your partner's gone for good
Should you decide to hang
yourself
Or slit your wrists, you should
But if you're still in any doubt
Get the Leonard Cohen out
Leonard Cohen? Ah. What
larks
He's seen you through it all
And waits in dusty corners
For the jilted lover's call
Or nestles in your record set
On stand-by like a country vet
The bedsit weeps. The attic sighs
There's nothing else will do
And Morrissey might be too
light
For what you're going through
Make sure there's no-one else
about
And Laughing Len will sort
you out
Pop the pill, turn on the gas
Or kick the chair away
The chances are the song
will still
Be grinding on next day
But look out for a mega hit
If EXIT ever go legit
