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.

Those vinyl records used to be
Cordsusedtobe / Cordsusedtobe
With all that jumping up and down
At least the vinyl kept you fit
Youkeptyoufit/ Youkeptyoufit
Unless you fixed a lightweight arm
With plasticine or 2p bit
The thing about the vinyl is
It's warm, it's big, it's analogue
The ear interprets this much as
A drinker will a cup of grog
Lacupofgrog / Lacupofgrog
And record sleeves, being large allow
Traditional activities
The chopping, rolling, counting out
Essential to young debauchees
Ungdebauchees / Ungdebauchees
And here's a vinyl thought for all
You long-play freaks to contemplate
Being born in '45 meant
You were 33 in '78
