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.

A site probably best left to JRR Tolkien fanatics, it looks at mythical creatures from the past. Its hippy nature is rather endearing and there's plenty of gothic design and lettering. It suffers from a lack of irony, but then that's American sites for you.

www.atlasmagazine. com

This quirky magazine for photography, design and multimedia is incredibly well conceived. It has a real edge to it that you rarely find elsewhere. Although it is something of an acquired taste, and looks a little odd, it's definitely worth spending some time on.

www.funster.com

This is an excellent word-games site. It's free to register and you'll find a selection of basic but interesting word games. It's one of those things which was probably extremely simple to set up but is far more fun than some of the overblown sites you tend to see these days.
