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.AS Margaret and John are of different generations in relation to their common ancestors, the relationship between them is not equal ('Major and Thatcher', 15 May). So, while John is Margaret's fifth cousin once removed downwards, Margaret is John's sixth cousin once removed upwards. However, as Geoffrey and John are of the same generation they are each other's sixth cousins.
