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's incendiary side was on show this morning as the TweetLikeaLefty hashtag started trending, encouraging satirists to impersonate left wingers.

@BBCPropaganda: Somebody somewhere is better off than me so I deserve more and they should pay for it.

@Thatchers_Child: I believe in freedom of speech except for when I disagree with you. You should be banned from tweeting.

@DanHannanMEP: Your hate-filled Little Englander bile makes me physically sick!

@detumescance: The real criminals in society are those who have stolen the wealth of the world from the people

@LOcculta: I hate capitalism, it's a horrible system, which is why I'm tweeting from my new iPhone

@screwlabour: Throwing other peoples money at everything will solve the worlds problems..

@BigMendy: There is currently a #TweetLikeALefty hashtag going on. It's full of sensible policy somehow presented as crazy
