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.No changes in position from last week's chart for the top ten Foursquare brands, but seventh placed Bastard Jeans is failing to attract friends at the same rate as tenth-placed Gossip Girl.
While there was no change in this week's Foursquare brand charts, TV show Bravo, currently in second place is gathering slightly more friends (404 per day) than the current leader MTV (396 per day), which could indicate an upcoming change in rankings.
Bastard Jeans is the only brand on the top ten not attracting over 100 friends per day; on December 28 the brand gained only 34 new friends and as of 10:30 am GMT on December 29 the jeans brand has attracted a mere one new friend. In comparison, tenth place brand Gossip Girl attracted 247 friends on December 28 and 30 new friends over the same period on December 29.
