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.Slipknot are guiltier than anyone else for the current spam-brained obviousness of American alternative rock.
'All Hope Is Gone', a reunion album trailed by the earth-shattering news that the Iowa nonet have – whoopee! – new masks, may contain the odd critique of Bush-led imperialism behind its widdly-widdly soloing and ankle-breaking drumming, but the growl of "We will burn your cities down!" is just made for the good ol' boys in the US army to bang their heads to in their armoured vehicles. Still, it'll keep shifting those hoodies made by 12-year-olds in poor countries to 12-year-olds in rich countries for another couple of years.
