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.It's remarkable how quickly people will disparage or dismiss Kim Kardashian-West, a woman who has built an ever-expanding empire and amassed a fortune most people could only dream of.
The internet is at it's most unforgiving when the reality TV star/model/designer is wearing little or no clothes or exuding any kind of sexuality.
While Kardashian-West often chooses to stay silent instead of feeding her many trolls, on Tuesday she decided to remind the world that while they were shouting (almost always painfully gendered, slut-shaming) insults, she was laughing all the way to the bank.
Kardashian-West divided the internet once again by sharing a picture of herself nude, with two well-placed modesty bars, with her 41.3 million followers. The image saw Piers Morgan offer to buy her some clothes, Chloe Moretz criticise her for not reinforcing the fact that women are more than their bodies, and Bette Midler suggest she should swallow the camera if she wanted to show the world something it hadn't seen before.
It seems Kardashian had finally had enough this morning and took on her most high-profile critics in a series of scathing tweets that saw Morgan question whether Kanye had taken over her Twitter feed.
Kardashian closed her tweets with the most important one - another nude, this time with the hashtag #liberated.
