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.Google has created a new 'doodle' celebrating what would have been the 101st birthday of origami master Akira Yoshizawa.
Yoshizawa is credited with transforming the ancient Japanese folk tradition from a child's pastime into a legitimate art form by creating the technique of wet-folding, which allowed origami artists to create rounded sculptures using thicker pieces of paper.
Today's doodle, designed by Californian origami artist Robert Lang, features a pleated three-dimensional Google logo, augmented with butterflies - a design synonymous with Yoshizawa's early work.
