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.

Mila Kunis was bullied at school for her looks.

The stunning 'Black Swan' actress hated her big eyes and lips when she was younger after being taunted by her classmates but says she is now happy she has finally grown into her strong features.

She said: "I was always the smallest in my class. I've learned it wasn't a bad thing to be picked on because when you're little it seems awful like it's the end of the world.

"I grew into my face. I had a very funny looking face when I was little. I had like big eyes, big lips, big ears. But when I was little I was constantly being made fun of for having big eyes and that was awful. I used to come home crying: 'Why do I have big eyes?' And my parents were like: 'You're crazy!' "

However being bullied at school has not put Mila off education forever and the 27-year-old beauty is now planning to follow in her 'Black Swan' co-star Natalie Portman's footsteps and attend university.

She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I will go to university one day. I wanted to, it's just I chose a career from an early age. Who's to say I made the right decision? I don't know. Time will tell."
