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.Chocolate is this winter's colour, so popular that it's been declared, as everyone now knows, "the new black". Translated from fashion parlance, all this means is that, instead of the past month's couture shows being dominated by cool black jackets, black jumpers and black dresses, they are now a sea of chocolate brown. The fashion world
has gone crazy for it. Their lips are Bourneville, their tights Cadbury's, and their suits Hershey's. You are guaranteed to find a shade you like. And best of all, this is one kind of chocolate that won't make you fat.
