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.The world is not short of length-and-line singer-songwriters doing it for themselves, hoping to fly under the major-label radar. Most of them are very ordinary.
This one's good. She's Irish, she's warmly direct in her address to the struggles and lulls of love, and her language is neither fey nor self-dramatising. Thea Gilmore appears, which figures – they share a grave musical conservatism which, unusually, sounds as if it is founded in a determination to get the content over with a minimum of fuss. Worth investigating.
