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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Awards season doesn’t truly begin until the arrival of the Honest Posters – and this year’s batch is better than ever.
The Shiznit‘s annual takedown of all the films in contention for Oscars doesn’t disappoint, and this year’s selection is no different.-
The posters that have been given an honest remix include Roma and The Favourite – both of which have received 10 Oscar nominations – as well as A Star is Born, Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman and Can You Ever Forgive Me?, which scored nominations for Melissa McCarthy and Richard E Grant (check his touching reaction here).
Controversial Best Picture nominees Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book are also featured.
The former hints at the sexual allegations made against the film’s original director, Bryan Singer, while the recent news surrounding Green Book‘s creative team – co-writer Nick Vallelonga and director Peter Farrelly – provided the inspiration for that one.
You can see a selection below but will be able to find the full list here.
A Star is Born
