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.

Sabine County, Texas resident Timeshia Brown took very calculated revenge on her husband Patrick, 'congratulating' him for having a baby with another woman in a newspaper classified advert.

"I would like to say congratulations to Shara Cormier and Patrick Brown. They are expecting a baby," the message read, before the knife was twisted in: "Hope you both are really in love and I hope it works out. Always, Patrick’s wife, Timeshia Brown."

One reader posted a snap of it on Reddit where it quickly exploded, though there were no details as to which paper Timeshia's remarks ran in.

"It's about TIMESHIA got a divorce amirite?!" one user joked.

While the advert has been shared thousands of times already it is unlikely to achieve the heights of a Gumtree ad seeking a housemate to dress as a Walrus, which director Kevin Smith is to turn into a multi-million dollar horror movie called Tusk.
