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.

Mensa, the society for people with big brains, isn't seen around as much as it was a few years ago. However, this website provides you with plenty of information about the society and it has a quiz page, which, it stresses, isn't an IQ test and is for entertainment only.

Director Wes Craven, who first came to notice with his Nightmare on Elm Street, and then later with his postmodern horror flicks, The People Under the Stairs, Scream and Scream II has an excellent site devoted to his work, which includes a detailed filmography.

If you're becoming sick of the standardised look of news websites, you might get a chuckle out of the Bogus News Network. It's a kind of on-line The Day Today, with a number of fake news stories told in a convincing current affairs vernacular.
