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.Good Day for artistic realism, as a work of art in a Florida studio led to an emergency call to the police, roads being closed and the bomb squad summoned. The work, by Paul Rutovsky was entitled The Mail Art Liberation Organisation, and featured four small pipes, electrical wiring and a clock.
Bad Day for Pedro Olivera, an Argentine farm worker who woke up with a pain in the neck after a night's drinking and discovered that he had a knife embedded in his neck up to the hilt. He was taken to hospital, but cannot help police because he can remember nothing of the night before.
Tasteless Day for Dalvin Stokes, a Florida man who is suing a restaurant because he claims to have found a condom in his sweet potato pie. According to his attorney the condom "had the appearance of having been utilised for its primary purpose".
Sober Day for Kuwait, where an airline passenger has been fined for arriving in the country drunk. The court dismissed pleas that the offence of drinking alcohol was committed abroad.
