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.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, and if you are using different types of cab-bages cook them separately. Discard any tough stalks of kale and ruby chard, and nick off the ends of the stalks, and cut out the central stalks from cavolo nero. Add the cabbage and push it down to submerge it, and once the water comes back to the boil, simmer for approximately eight minutes until tender - this may vary, depending on the greens that you use.
Drain the greens into a sieve, pressing out as much moisture as possible using a spoon. Place them on a board and slice into large pieces. Transfer them to a plate, tossing to combine them if you are using a mixture of types, and leave them to cool.
Crush the garlic to a paste with a sprinkling of salt using the flat of a knife, or else pass it through a garlic press into a bowl. Whisk this with the lemon juice, a generous addition of salt and the oil and pour over the greens. Gently toss and serve straight away.
