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.

Couples love to smooch for the Mistletoe Cam at basketball games but when it came to a proposal of marriage at one recent UCLA game, it went badly wrong.

One willing Lothario thought the opportunity to appear on TV was too good to pass up and rather than simply kissing his beloved, he proposed in front of the hundreds of fans, and the television cameras.

Sadly for him, the target of his affections disagreed and in a moment that surely left him willing the court to open up and swallow him whole, she made a drastic run for the arena's exit.
