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 Spectator’s front cover has declared “the end of feminism” but judging by the reaction online, not everyone is so optimistic.
The current affairs magazine depicts a suffragette with her "votes for women" sign covered with graffiti, reading “all men are scum”, by a screaming woman presumably meant to represent the 21st century equality movement.
“The end of feminism,” reads the headline. “The battle’s won, says Emily Hill. It’s time to move on.”
The article will not be available to read until the magazine hits the shelves tomorrow but the cover is already provoking strong debate on social media.
One person asked whether the headline was a “joke” on Facebook, while another commentator simply called the claim “complete b******s”.
Over on Twitter, quite a few people disagreed…
Many of the responses had a distinctly sarcastic flavour…
But some people loved it.
The latest edition of The Spectator will be out tomorrow.
