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.

Men armed with knives burst into a college dormitory yesterday, wounding nine students – one of them seriously.

The pre-dawn incident is the latest in a series of mass knife attacks in the country. It appeared to be a revenge attack for an earlier confrontation between students and villagers.

The men rushed into a dormitory at the Hainan Institute of Science and Technology in Hainan province and hacked away at anyone they came across. One student had his hand cut off, while eight others suffered lesser injuries.
