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.So the Kuwaiti rulers have cost a man his family and placed him under threat of the death penalty ("Death threat to Christian convert", 7 July)? What an insult to all the European and American Christian personnel who were called upon to rescue their little piece of oil-stained sand from Iraq's military grasp.

Dylan Jones writes that Liza Minnelli has "very big cajones" ("Liza: a legend with an L", Review, 7 July). He - and she - may mean that she's the owner of some large boxes. But I think they mean "cojones".

Michael White is right about Menotti ("Profit without honour", Real Life, 7 July). Menotti's violin and piano concertos were performed when I played in the London Schools Symphony Orchestra in my youth. Melodic and vital, they deserve to be in the standard repertoire. Why should the Spoleto Festival have all the best tunes?

David Usborne's account of the freeing of the Chicago Four ("Justice arrives in the nick of time", 7 July) is curiously reminiscent of the experiene of the Bridgewater Four in this country, with the difference that the British men are still inside.
