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.

At the ripe of age of five, Instagram is no longer just a platform for sharing highly-planned selfies and photos of your dinner, but is now also hosting its first ever game.

The game is based on cult animated series Rick and Morty. The critically acclaimed Adult Swim sci-fi series follows alcoholic scientist Rick Sanchez and his impressionable grandson Morty Smith as they explore the universe.

The Rickstaverse game transforms Instagram into a hidden object-style game, where fans of the show can delve into 25 different worlds.

To create the Rickstaverse, developers created and linked some 80 Instagram accounts, according to Mashable.

By tapping on a photo, players can use tags to travel to different planets and dimensions.

Collectibles are also hidden across the game. If a player collects them all, they will receive exclusive clips from season 2 of Rick and Morty.

Features include a ‘Jerrygotchi’ where players can control Morty’s dad, Jerry Smith.
