- “It became almost part of American values, post 9/11, to demonise the Middle East.”
Jess Natale created the Instagram account So.Informed in 2020 so that she could keep her colleagues who were campaigning for Bernie Sanders up to date with information and facts that were well sourced.
Once Bernie dropped out, the account became a reference that sourced reliable information that aimed to pushback against misinformation being spread by Donald Trump supporters.
Now, four years later, So.informed has 3.1 million followers, unapologetically criticises Israel’s occupation and atrocities, and strongly advocates for a free Palestine.
In this episode of UNAPOLOGETIC we speak with the person behind the account, Jess Natale, who tells us why she started the account, how her perspectives were shaped by her country’s and father’s reaction to 9/11. How she learnt about Israel’s occupation of Palestine and the content journey she has been on with so.informed since it began.

Your questions are so perfect. First time viewer now subscribing no hesitation. Thanks so much to both of you.
Thank you thank you thank you !!! I was a witness during the apartheid years in SA and it was horrifying but what is happening in Palestine is far worse.
First time watching this podcast. Amazing guest and great interviewer, very polite with toughtful questions. Almost sorry I don't have Telegram so I could follow her. Thank you.
Great question on what 'young people do (now) with the choice of Biden vs. Trump.' My young one is much younger but he already says 'neither.'
The more I listen, the more I am pulled in...amazing interview...thank you MEE...thank you.

I remember when MSNBC was out and out rightwing and, overall, that never actually changed.
Stop the genocide.
Not a genocide. Cope. (Also , you're a Nazi)
Adults can learn soo much from a ten year old.
She has so many followers because there are so many who see the illness driving our system but don't have the words to express it.
