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.

Some recent news stories that you may have missed:

Prehistoric sex

The male tyrannosaurus may have used its front limbs to hold the female steady while making love, according to some delegates at the Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology meeting in Pittsburgh. The use of T Rex's arms provoked hot debate at the congress, with other theories suggesting scavenging, fighting and just flapping around.

Fish sex

A species of fish has been discovered off the coast of Japan that can change sex at will, altering the structure of its genitalia and brain to match the social occasion. The discovery may have implications for the study of human transsexuality.

Bad sex

A man in Vicenza, Italy, rang a police emergency number after an unsatisfying encounter with a prostitute. He wanted the police to help him get his money back. They are considering whether to charge him with abusing an emergency number.
