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.

ANY OF you been to Australia and come home with a chip of Ayers Rock as a souvenir? If so, go directly to the mantelpiece or attic or wherever the damned thing is, pick it up with a pair of tweezers, and post it at once to the Park Manager, Uluru, Northern Territory, 0872. Or you'll be sorry.

The Pitjantjatjara and the Yankunytjatjara tribes that own the Rock have, after due consideration, laid a curse on all those who have made off with bits of the sacred monolith over the years. And it seems to be a curse of the highest quality. All kinds of untoward things have ensued and the fragments are duly flowing back from all over Australia. So if you want to put an end to dishwasher accidents, missing babies and that poltergeist activity in the spare room - act now.
