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.Aformer Biosphere 2 crew member accused of sabotaging the self-contained glass- and-steel dome says she broke windows and opened doors to 'flush' the air for the safety of the volunteers inside, AP reports from Oracle, Arizona.
Abigail Alling told the Los Angeles Times, 'The Biosphere experiment was terminated this morning out of concern for the safety of the Biospherians and the system.' She said she and another former crew member, Mark Van Thillo, had let in outside air. They had been suspended three days earlier in a management shake-up.
