As I’ve alluded to on here before after 11 years I’m leaving The Intercept to help launch a new platform, Drop Site News. It’s a bittersweet moment for me since I helped start The Intercept and really I grew up there.

But I’m excited about helping start another new independent news outlet with my old colleagues Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill. We are reader funded on Substack and I hope you will consider becoming a paid supporter so that we can continue to do the reporting that we did at TI for so many years: https://www.dropsitenews.com

Less than a month into its launch Drop Site News is already banned from access in Pakistan. You can still access it via VPN but it’s a signal of how much our reporting has infuriated the military government there.

I’m banned from lots of countries by the way everyone seems to be mad at me but I take that as a sign that my stories hit hard — a bit of a badge of honor. Onwards!

It's a badge of honour then, for which you should be congratulated. Darkness never wants light, so it's understandable that they don't want Drop Site News poking.
