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.Whenever Blake Lively posts a photo of herself on Instagram, she makes sure to tag Loreal Paris USA for her hair colour and the designers of any jewellery she might be wearing in/for it.
It is what it is. Everyone's gotta make a dollar.
The subtle advertising is a bit less palatable when she's breastfeeding her baby though, who has just unwittingly become a shill for brands.
"The PERKS of breastfeeding" Lively wrote alongside the image, which has already drawn 320,000 likes.
The 27-year-old actress, wife to Ryan Reynolds, gave birth to daughter James just before the New Year.
Breasts have been causing huge controversy on Instagram lately, with women putting print-outs of male nipples over their own to show the absurdity of the social network's no female nipples policy.
In previous weeks, users had fun seeing what other subtle ways they could incorporate boobs and get around the rules, reproducing photos in paintings and uploading them.
