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.

"The future of rock 'n' roll belongs to women," Kurt Cobain declared shortly before his death last year, and he wasn't talking about Cline Dion. He was referring in part to his wife, Courtney Love, self-invented pop wildcat extraordinaire, whose sublime grunge is descending upon London this week. Her band Hole's current album, Live through This, was released before Cobain's suicide - and so its exhortation has assumed a tragic dimension - but it has taken until now to achieve its deserved critical respect. It's a surprisingly gentle album - these rockers aren't afraid of acoustic guitars. But have no fears that Love live is still a fearsomely visceral prospect, marrying heartbreakingly romantic glamour with limitless bile and general dissing of everyone in the world. Frances Bean couldn't hope for a cooler mother.
