Just heard the former Intercept boys on Chapo and paid for my first year of Drop Site. Been following Jeremy since his early appearances on Democracy Now. Been a long time Intercept reader and very much look forward to this new project.
What the Instagram owners and bosses are confirming is that real investigative journalists doing research and reporting it are "too dangerous" to allow Instagram subscribers access to their work.
Regarding the censorship on Instagram/Meta: this is why the public must be curious enough to seek out sources other than MSM. "Because they hate the Jews" is not a sufficient explanation for October 7th. We keep hearing about anti-semitic tropes, but this is a racist one. If the public were actually demanding answers to basic questions through rigorous reporting, the Biden administration would never have been able to toss out a veil of censorship using the pretext of "misinformation." The President, himself, has repeatedly and falsely stated that he "saw" babies beheaded by Hamas. We don't even know if he intentionally lied or was being fed misinformation by AIPAC. Complete falsehoods have not been removed on social media or challenged by MSM. This kind of authoritarianism escalated dramatically during the pandemic. Now, we find ourselves quickly in a place where it may become illegal to criticize Zionism as a form of racism. Should you really lose your job over a vomit emoji? In my opinion the erosion of free speech - legally and culturally - is the real threat to democracy. Thanks for your work and integrity.
you "voted" if you use facebook or instagram.....actually VOTED should not be in quotes.....there's nothing more endorsing/approving/supporting than one being in a site that is controlled by Zuckerberg's pocketbook.
to be fair, im not sure if biden himself knows whether he intentionally lied or was being fd misinformation. from all reporting, as well as the condition that biden is clearly in, it seems that Antony Blinken is our un-elected commander-in-chief.
Yes, and Biden even made a slip up referring to someone unnamed as "my commander-in-chief." He didn't seem to understand that that's who he is supposed to be. What a mess.
No worries, I’m sure many can share your anger. I too am sick of these tech companies that want a monopoly on “the truth”. It makes me feel good that they’re worried about Drop Site news already because they sure as shit should be. Just try to survive and enjoy the downfall of the corporate dictatorship we’re living in, bc we all know it’s gonna break at some point. Cheers ✌🏻
"“No one expected this reaction from the Israel side" what a load a bs. HAMAS got exactly what they both wanted and expected, which is a whole generation of Gazans will hate Israel with the passion of a thousand burning suns forever. It will never end.
I think it’s definitely possible they didn’t expect the amount of destruction that we’re seeing in Gaza right now. Israel has certainly targeted civilians in the past but not to the scale we’re seeing at the moment.
Having more independent investigative news outlets will finally start to put this country on the right track. I’ll gladly keep subscribing in the hopes that someday things will change. Thank you Ryan & Jeremy for having the courage to take a risk like this. Thank you to everyone else here that is a paying subscriber, you all give me hope for our future.
These journalists provide vital and honest coverage of the events that shape our world.

I don’t recall voting for Mark Zuckerberg, owner of Instagram and Meta,and, offering a lifelong term in office.

Follow the money !! Honest news reporting has run into the wall of AIPAC and Zionist money.
Biden with his administration and the government are polluted by pro Israel money.
Malinformation: true things that make the oligarchy look bad.
Fuck a bunch of hypocrite censors and "fat-check-ers". Those who seek to imprison ideas will always fail.
Apologies for the rough language.

They knew the Israelis were rotten; they just didn't know until after Oct. 7, just HOW fuking rotten they were/are...to the core.
I am sure no one anticipated the horrors inflicted by the Nazis on Jews and other "undesirables" until it was too late. Same same Israel.
They say what you Budget for is what you Value. In the US we work hard to provide armaments for the world.
Thanks to you two for adopting a method that exposes that.
