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.Twitter users have been discussing the moral implications of a wide range of subjects on the morning of December 30, using the meme "#itsnotokay," which became the top trending topic.
The meme "it's not okay (#itsnotokay)" started with a tweet about children sold into prostitution, but Twitterers quickly moved on to other topics, with many tweets involving (consensual) sexual practices or just displaying some quick twitter wit.
A micro-blogging Casanova wrote, "#itsnotokay to try to seduce girls on twitter unless they don't mind being seduced, that being said- Hello Ladies lolz." Another user tweeted, "#itsNOTokay to friend request your mom on facebook," while someone else moaned, "#itsNOTokay 4 a 45 yearold man to sit up and play xbox until 3am."
Twitterers continue to share their musical tastes, using the term "#nowplaying."
The term "I love it when (#iloveitwhen)" hasn't moved from the third place of the trending topics list, and garners more positive tweets than the "#itsnotokay" meme. One contemplative user wrote, "#iloveitwhen it snows :)."
Other trending topics that may require an explanation include "NYE" (New Year's Eve), "#jonasmemories" (by which users share their stories about the Jonas Brothers), and "Gurita Cikeas," a book that was banned in Indonesia about the Century Bank Scandal.
