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.

Oscars nominations are always ripe for parody, with the Academy's picks so predictably favouring A-lister vehicles, films that depict harrowing historical events and anything with unprecedented CGI.

It wasn't surprising to see American Hustle, 12 Years A Slave and Gravity garner nods in so many categories then, leading anyone with a copy of Photoshop to take them down a peg or two with a succinct 'honest poster'.

Here's the best of the bunch circulating the internet this morning, collated from The Shiznit, College Humor and Hypable.
