Flat Earth: Arms control
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.AN eight-year-old Pennsylvania boy's protest against having a shower has forced his neighbours in America's wide suburban underbelly to come clean about one household item. And we don't mean facecloths.
Kyle Cannon hit the local headlines after he handcuffed his left wrist to a banister rather than get in the shower. The key to the cuffs, alas, was missing. But before calling the police, who chopped the cuff off, Kyle's parents opened their doors to the neighbours. They marched in and out, to the Cannons' astonishment, trying keys from their handcuffs.
And you thought America was gun crazy.
