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.

Boob Tubes, what a misnomer. They should of course be called rib tubes, because if you actually have breasts, then a boob tube will make you look like you have a mono bosom. Katharine Hamnett has done some ridiculously brief b/ts which will look fantastic on anyone with a young girl's body. Boob tubes look best with micro hipster skirts or, preferably, hipster trousers. You need to get into the spirit of it - this is not a look you can take and adapt too much, you either go the whole hog or forget it. I guess they're really rather good value, when you get big and old you can always use them as a knee support bandage. Yum. AB
