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.

In the week The Australian Pink Floyd Show commenced their British tour in Plymouth...
PINK VOID
When rockers turn fifty
And light up cigars
Priorities change
So they lay down guitars
And pleading exhaustion
They open naff bars
Or tend to their fish farms
And race vintage cars
The minute this happens
Australians come
With counterfeit sounds
For a much lower sum
The punters, it seems
In the past have enjoyed
Aussie Doors, Bjorn Again
Now it's Aussie Pink Floyd
And what should we think
Of this living museum
Of sounds disinterred
From the rock mausoleum?
Strange in an age
Boasting Damon and Liam
That so many bucketheads
Flock out to see 'em
