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.

#blackmirror was trending earlier this morning as people spoke about their sleepless, dreamless nights after watching the second episode “White Bear”. Even Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack said the show was the “Best.Thing.On.Telly”, but did you agree?

A million people half-watching a dystopian vision about screen addiction while simultaneously tweetin about it @charltonbrooker#blackmirror

The bleakest, most dystopian bit of #BlackMirror for me was tuning in early and accidentally watching Embarrassing Bodies.

@KrisWould

This is what would happen if the Daily Mail ran the country.#blackmirror

@carolineflack1

Best. Thing. On. Telly . #blackmirror

‏@casstonishing

The amount of #blackmirror tweets saying that's what we should do to child killers is astonishing. YOU'VE MISSED THE WHOLE POINT

‏@FrankEOwen

The majority of #BlackMirror tweets are people trying to prove they understand the plot.

‏@jsnford

#BlackMirror was pretty intense last night.. not sure it's on par with the first three though

‏@JamesCrouch10

Some reviews of last week's #BlackMirror said Brooker had lost his 'dark' edge. Don't think they'll be saying the same after last night.

‏@michaeljships

Was it just me or was last nights #blackmirror a total piss take of Derren Brown?

‏@Lisekit

Large numbers of people tweeting this morning that #BlackMirror gave them nightmares/sleepless nights. Me too, brethren.

@lyricalwax

#BlackMirror terrific as usual but if it wanted me to disagree with extreme punishment, it made me stop and think but ultimately failed.

‏@NayfHunter

#BlackMirror is making people who should know better act like 15 year olds that just read Catcher In the Rye.
