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.Litchfield Penitentiary is to get a new inmate in the form of 28-year-old Ruby Rose, who will apparently play a love interest for both Piper and Alex in OITNB season 3.
A blurb in Elle magazine described her character as the "lust object" of the warring couple, which Rose confirmed, re-posting it on her Facebook.
Rose is fairly new to acting, her career thus far having been focused on modelling and presenting on MTV in her native Australia.
Having largely been absent in season 2, Alex Vause is set to feature more heavily in the third season, with actress Laura Prepon saying last year: "All the girls are so close, I feel like I never left.
"Or like I was there all of season 2. We all wanted me to be there for more of season 2."
In other OITNB news, Vee will also be back next season (though probably only through flashback), and Nicky will definitely feature, with actress Natasha Lyonne having been spotted filming what looks to be backstory scenes in New York last July.
Orange Is The New Black season 3 has yet to be given a release date by Netflix.
