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.

A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on February 12.

This week's selection includes an amazing 21-photo composite of a solar eclipse, some stunning images of Mars, a blog post that compares the effort needed to make a plastic spoon with that needed to wash a metal one, a stop-motion video created with a ballpoint pen and a pad of paper that shows a brief history of the world, and a video that describes the inherent racism apparent in the US army.
