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.

There’s something quite beautiful about lorem ipsum placeholder text, a scrambled version of a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero, but if you spend too long staring at it, waiting for creative inspiration to come, it can get a little terrifying.

Lorem Fucking Ipsum however, is designed by Good Fucking Design Advice for “people who have some fucking passion” but are “struggling to come up with their next great concept”.

You can generate as many words or paragraphs of it as you want, all coming in either Helvetica Neue or Neue Haas Grotesk font.

Examples of paragraph openers include: “Remember it’s called the creative process, it’s not the creative fucking moment,” and “The details are not the details. They make the fucking design.”

Now I just need a version of Siri that, instead of telling me who co-starred with Tommy Lee Jones in 1998 film U.S. Marshals, tells me to finish that fucking screenplay.
