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.

Here's an example of one of its break-up emails, which literally uses 'Regards' at the end. Ice cold.
"Why look them in the eye and watch the hurt?" Sorry It's Over questions. "No one wants to deal with all that screaming, sobbing, begging and emotional pleas of ‘just one more chance’.
"Let us sort out your relationship for you!"
Fast forward six months and you can bet someone will have undercut them with an app that notifies you you've been dumped by push notification.
