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.

Tuesday
I’ve been reading a lot of contemporary poetry, recommended by a friend. He started me on some anthologies, including I Love Roses When They’re Past Their Best.
Wednesday
I’ve been looking at the work of video directors, and came across Jeff Low. He created a fantastic advert for male incontinence pads...
Thursday
Downloaded Grim Fandango Remastered, a graphically-improved version of a 1998 PC game. It’s an incredible piece of work: the score, the plot, the puzzles. I lost the whole day immersed in its beautiful world.
Friday
Packing up my flat and getting distracted by records. Trein Maersk by the criminally unknown Icebreaker International makes an appearance.
Saturday
Today I’m taking a 10-hour flight to Dallas, then driving to Austin for this year’s manic SxSW Festival. I watch Foxcatcher and St Vincent.
Sunday
Now in Texas, travelling to downtown Austin for our shows. Perfect driving music is Cass McComb’s double album Big Wheel and Others.
