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.

Album art has a mixed history. You've got "so iconic I'm not even going to hyperlink" on the one hand (Abbey Road, Thriller, Aladdin Sane), nightmare-fodder on the other (Jesus Use Me, anything collected by this guy). Now fans are fighting over which category the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' sleeve, for their forthcoming album Mosquito, falls in to. What do you think?

Our deputy Arts Editor Alice Jones tweeted: "Looks like someone nuked the Nirvana Nevermind baby (and a mosquito). Michael Moran added: "I'm classifying the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album sleeve as a Global Extinction Level Event".

Others took a more positive view, with Christoph Kudsen calling it "awesome" and prophesying a good year for music off its back.

We would tell you what we think, but that might affect the scientific neutrality of the poll. (Can't resist: Eww, eww, 90s, eww).
