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.

I love the fact that one of the world’s most lo-fi games, which requires nothing more than intellectual cunning and a packet of Swan Vestas, has been translated into a video game.

So you can now play with matches and not get burned, although trying to solve the deceptively simple-looking challenges could fry your brain. There are 150 match-based tasks in total that, while they don’t dazzle with complex graphics, offer puzzle fans a genuinely taxing, if somewhat unexciting, time.
