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.Twitter has gone into meltdown with the news announced by Fifa that Luis Suarez has been banned for a record-nine international matches plus all football activity for four months for biting Giorgio Chiellini.
Yesterday there was two million mentions of the name Luis Suarez on the social networking platform, and that total stands to be well beaten today.
Here are some of the best Tweets about the controversial striker as the extent of his ban was revealed.
The next time we see Suarez on a football field will be on 1 November, when Liverpool take on Newcastle at St James' Park in the Premier League.
