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.

Don't make any travel plans for this summer yet, because once you've seen vicchi.org's map of Vaguely Rude Place Names of the World, you'll have a whole new itinerary of must-visit destinations.
The map was created by blogger 'Gary', who moonlights as Director of Places for Nokia. He modestly describes his work as "a classic Web 2.0 style maps mashup [that will] never win any awards for originality or innovativeness", but that's simply untrue. In fact, it's already won the Independent Voices Award for Endless Fun. Congratulations, Gary.
If you're interested in more technical detail on how the map was put together, visit Gary's blog. Or if that sounds too much like hard work, just have fun planning your next trip to Bum in Sierra Leone. Perhaps hire a car and take in Pee, Liberia, en route?
