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.The ever-popular music-related term "#nowplaying" is stuck in the top of Twitter's list of most talked about topics on the morning of April 28.
Microbloggers are writing letters to people with their 140 characters and the hashtag "dearsomeone."
Dear someone, "I'm worth much more than an occasional 'I love u'", "I wanna stare at your eyes in real world, not twitter, fb, deviantart and other social networking" and "please send me a message," plead Twitter users to anyone that will listen.
"#4wordsAFTERwork" is in third place on the Twitter charts. "Okay, where's my beer?" and "I want to sleep" are some of the four words people are saying after they finish work.
Twitter users just don't get sick of talking about their favorite singer. Justin Bieber remains a regular fixture in Twitter's charts, moving up two places to fourth place.
In fifth place, curiosity is killing the Twitter user with the term "#pleasetellmewhy." "#gottagivepropsto" follows one place after as people express their respect for others.
Android is trending in seventh place. According to a tweet by technology blog Mashable, web browser developer Mozilla has released a "'pre-alpha' of Firefox for Android - aka Fennec." Microsoft also recently signed an Android patent deal with HTC and an iPhone hacker managed to get a version of Android running on the smartphone.
The Japanese word for "reform", "#sasshin" has dropped one place to number eight, the abbreviated form of #nowplaying (#np) is in ninth place, and #ihatequotes makes another entry onto the charts this week in tenth place.
