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.

Instead of a big-budget, licensed tie-in with character actors and overblown plot lines, themakers of the new Star Trek film have released this remarkably restrained download. It’s essentially a top-down arcade shooter, which eschews recreating scenes from the movie in favour of explosive space warfare. Choose between Deathmatch, Conquest and Assault modes of play and decidewhether you prefer to play as a Starfleet goodie or a Romulan baddie. Then things get interesting – the battles in Star TrekD-A-C support up to 12 players, making action an exciting, intergalactic bunfight. Well played, Paramount.
