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.THE Bosnian Serb warlord Radovan Karadzic likes to present himself as a man of high civilisation, who impresses journalists by quoting T S Eliot in English.
Our research reveals, however, that it's always the same three lines:
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky,
Like a patient etherized upon a table
The more you think about these verses, the more menacing they are - especially for Bosnian Muslims. In fact, as leader of forces which prevent medical supplies reaching Muslim areas, what Radovan really has in mind is a patient UNetherised upon a table.
