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.

Rapper SpaceGhostPurrp likes making things difficult.

His aversion to vowels renders his album cover almost unreadable, and his taste for industrial noise renders his backing tracks almost unlistenable. But after a while, the sticky, repetitive swirls work their hypnotic magic: they're like The Bomb Squad mired in depression rather than revolution. His murmured intimacies lend the seven-minute gangsta tale "No Evidence" an air of real menace, and elsewhere starkly convey the desensitised attitude to sexuality in tracks like "Grind on Me".
