Instagram has suspended the account of Track AIPAC, a widely followed watchdog project that tracks political spending by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and related pro-Israel lobbying groups. The social media giant cited alleged violations of the platform’s intellectual property and trademark rules. The suspension places the account at risk of permanent deletion unless successfully appealed within 180 days.

Track AIPAC — also known as AIPAC Tracker — was launched in 2024 by Cory Archibald and Casey Kennedy as a transparency and advocacy platform documenting AIPAC’s political donations, endorsements and influence on US elections. The project publishes Federal Election Commission data on pro-Israel political spending, highlights which lawmakers receive the most support, and endorses opponents of candidates reliant on AIPAC funding.

The watchdog has become a prominent source for voters and activists seeking to make AIPAC funding “politically toxic” and to hold elected officials accountable for their ties to the pro-Israel lobby.

        *Billionaire Jews, pedophiles, and eugenicists

        Poor and anti-Zionist Jewish people are looked upon with contempt by this melting pot of bastards.

      All the e-thots, all the thirst traps, all the scammers (go to the link in my bio to buy this cheap piece of shit!), all the “content creators” (read: corporate shills that “promote” the hot new item from whatever fast food place or store)…

      I should get rid of it, but I also follow a lot of actual creators, people who actually do make things. Like one profile named @graceofspades, she makes these fun giant foodstuff decorations out of wood and other materials. She’s made things like giant candy bar coffee tables, giant coffee creamer cups and such. I also follow some comic convention vendors from when I used to work that circuit, and some cool crochet pages because I want to learn someday.

      And finally there’s the many Lego/Mega builders I follow, for build inspirations or just to look at all the cool stuff they build. One guy is remaking different Halo 2 levels out of Mega Bloks, and is making pretty good progress.

        And all the movie/TV show clips accounts that promote gambling sites… it fucking sucks.

        And its a shame Because, like you exemplified, there are genuine creators in the platform. Those LEGO ones seem interesting! When I used Instagram I really like an account named El Miniaturista, he did really impressive miniature painting.

          I don’t like watching clips from shows or movies on anything other than an actual streaming platform, or a full YouTube video.

          Shorts and reels fucking suck; I hate they’re locked in portrait and there’s always some bullshit editing like some shitty background music or some dumbass filter.
