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 rolled out a service that lets you see and keep your entire tweet history. Go to your settings in Twitter, scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see a new section called "Your Twitter archive". Click the button and you'll be emailed your Tweet history.
The email will show you your Tweet history since joining Twitter, with a navigable month-by-month breakdown. It also allows you to retweet old tweets, just in case you think your followers failed to appreciate their full magnificence the first time round.
The feature is just for personal (as opposed to corporate) accounts on the micro-blogging site at present, and only for English-language users, although Twitter has said more variations will be rolled out "over the coming weeks and months".
