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.

Jack Black has shared his first video on TikTok, in which he performs a “Quarantine Dance” dressed in a cowboy hat, boots and a pair of black shorts.

The actor and musician joined the social media platform, along with a number of others who have found it to be a source of entertainment during the coronavirus lockdown.

In what appears to be his garden, Black performs a series of bizarre moves including spins, high-kicks and jumps.

The video, which has more than 265,000 likes, was captioned: “reallifeathome #distancedance #happyathome #boredathome.”

“A new dance trend is born,” one viewer joked.

Celebrities have been doing their best to lift fans’ spirits during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Musicians including Charli XCX, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Bastille’s Dan Smith and Christine and the Queens have live-streamed performance from their homes.

Others, including Larry David and Ryan Reynolds, have issued amusing public service announcements to encourage fans to practise social distancing.
