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.

New Instagram account Fashion Dads is poking fun at fashion bloggers in a series of spoof poses.

Anyone who has ventured onto social media app Instagram will be familiar with the classic pose repertoire of many of its members, specifically fashion focused members.

If you have become bored of boastful posts and overuse of hashtags then this is the social media account for you.

The basic premise behind Fashion Dads is to imitate these bloggers using everyday dad clobber.

The result is a series of images depicting middle-age men in full fashion blogger mode with the images wittily captioned in the style of its Instagram peers.

The account was created by Ashley Hesseltine and Travis May who are also the co-creators behind the equally amusing account Bros Being Basic.
