News of the weird
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.

Jairo Rincon, the owner of Monty's Pub in British Columbia, has said that the incident was the result of a misunderstanding and has invited the men back to the club. The men have accepted the explanation and the invitation to return.
Keeping abreast of art: Ron Nicolino, an American artist who specialises in a genre he calls "bra art", is hoping to collect 40,000 bras by the end of the year to make a tapestry depicting the Statue of Liberty handing a red bra to President Clinton. Another of his compositions, entitled "Bra Full of Nickels" is a bra full of nickels. Another of his projects - to construct a chain of bras stretching all the way across the Grand Canyon, is near completion.
Apartheid lives on: A black South African farm labourer was assaulted last weekend by a white farmer who took offence at his driving a cart pulled by one white and one black donkey.
