For a surreal experience on a Friday morning, read today's David Brooks' opinion column in the NYT next to this Drop Site Daily.
I retained my NYT subscription mainly to keep informed about how mainstream oligarch-monopoly media was working to keep status quo corruption and support of genocide palatable to citizens. I didn't expect it would lead to paying subscription money to overtly have one's intelligence insulted.
Reading this as a single news cycle makes the pattern unmistakable: civilian lives treated as expendable abroad and at home, while power concentrates upward without accountability. From Israel striking tents and schools in Gaza, to federal agents shooting civilians in U.S. cities, to open talk of the U.S. “running” Venezuela for years—this is what normalized impunity looks like. The throughline isn’t security or stability, it’s force without restraint and law without consequence. Journalism like this matters because it documents what official statements are designed to obscure.
Excellent. The recap summary at the top allows me to scan the news at a glance. It keeps me informed until I have time to read deeper. Thank you. I am so pleased to be a supporter.
Gaza strip in the last hour: ⭕ Artillery fire targeted the eastern areas of Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip. ⭕ Airstrikes by the occupation forces on the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. ⭕ Artillery shelling targeted the eastern part of Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the southeast of Gaza City. ⭕ An airstrike by the occupation forces on east of Al-Bureij camp in the center of the Gaza Strip.

I'm all about avoiding my own curated echo chamber, but I stopped paying subs to do it.

I was in Portland last october, no violent protesters there, send these gun happy ice pigs to prison
Thank you Drop Site for the reality news.
I'm waiting to see what the Supreme Court decides on ego tripping Trump's tariffs.
