  1. New York-based Massive Blue makes a product called Overwatch that it markets as an “AI-powered force multiplier for public safety” that “deploys lifelike virtual agents, which infiltrate and engage criminal networks across various channels.” The company currently has a $360,000 contract with Pinal County, Arizona, paid for with an anti-human trafficking grant from the Arizona Department of Public Safety — the Sheriff’s Office there called Massive Blue a “valuable partner.” @404mediaco’s Emanuel Maiberg takes a look at what the technology supposedly does, how bots engage with real people, and if it’s actually helped law enforcement make any arrests so far.

  4. This song hits hard.

    Hind's Hall by Macklemore

    Music: m.youtube.com/watch?v=wmg6vbt0

    Lyrics below:

    The people they won’t leave
    What is threatening
    about divesting and wanting peace?
    The problem isn’t the protests
    it’s what they’re protesting
    Cause it goes against
    what our country is funding
    Block the barricade until Palestine is free
    Block the barricade until Palestine is free
    When I was 7 I learned a lesson
    from Cube and Eazy E
    What was it again?
    oh yea
    fuck the police
    Actors in badges
    protecting property
    And a system that was designed
    by white supremacy
    But the people are in the streets
    You can pay off meta
    you can’t pay off me
    Politicians who serve by any means
    AIPAC, CUFI and all the companies
    You see we sell fear around the land of the free
    But this generation here
    is about to cut the strings

    You can ban tik Tok
    take us out the algothim
    But it’s too late
    we’ve seen the truth we bare witness
    We’ve seen the ruble the buildings
    the mothers the children
    And all the men that you murdered
    and then we see how they spin it

    Who gets to the right to defend
    and who gets the right of resistance

    Has always been about dollars
    and the color of your pigment
    But
    White supremacy is finally on blast
    Screaming free Palestine
    until they’re home at last

    We see the lies in them
    Claiming it’s anti-semetic
    to be anti-zionist
    I’ve seen jewish brothers and sisters out there and riding
    In solidarity and screaming
    free Palestine with em
    Organizing, unlearning
    and finally cutting ties with a
    State
    that’s gotta rely on an apartheid system
    To uphold an occupying violent
    History been repeating for the last 75
    The Nakba never ended,
    the colonizer lied

    If some kids in tents,
    posted on the lawn
    occupying the quad
    is really against the law
    And a reason to call
    in the police and their squad
    where does genocide land
    in your definition huh?
    destroying every college in Gaza and every mosque
    pushing everyone into rafah and dropping bombs
    The blood is on your hands Biden,
    we can see it all
    And fuck no
    I’m not voting for you in the fall

    Undecided,
    you can’t twist the truth
    The people out here
    united
    never be defeated when Freedom’s on the
    horizon
    Yet the music industry’s quiet
    complicit in their platform of silence

    What happened to the artist
    what do you got to say?
    If I was on a label,
    you could drop me today
    And be fine with it
    cause the heart fed my page
    I want a ceasefire
    fuck a response from drake

    What you willing to risk?
    What you willing to give?
    What if you were Gaza?
    what if those were your kids?
    If the west was pretending that you didn’t exist
    You’d want the world to stand up
    And the students finally did
    Let’s get it

  10. @DoomsdaysCW #CollegeProtests not seeking or finding #solidarity with Israeli protestors opposing Netanyahu are missing an enormous opportunity

  11. If you think the individuals at #CollegeProtests are ugly, be aware that prioritizing #aesthetics is an aspect of #fascism, and people see you.

    Be serious people.

  12. “The authors found that ‘while college students are not more antisemitic than the general population,’ they are ‘more antizionist.’ They also found that ‘prejudicial antisemitism and antizionism are largely separate phenomena,’ with an ‘overwhelming’ absence of any overlap between antisemitism and a negative view of Israel.”

  13. #Trump says #police raid on university #protesters 'beautiful to watch'

    Trump, at a rally in Waukesha, #Wisconsin, called for tougher action against campus protests & again suggested some of the protesters were paid actors. He called on college presidents to “remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the locals & take back our campuses for all of the normal students.”

  14. There was a moment for #American #CollegeProtests to find #solidarity with Israelis marching in their streets against #Netanyahu.

    Who knows if that window might still be open.

    But it would require #nuance, broadening geopolitical horizons, and being smart to ignore the anti-Semitic weirdos in their midst.

    Should they? Yes.

    Can they? Probably not.

    Will they?🤞

    Also, be #SeriousPeople and avoid playing shitty protest bingo.

  15. “Like their association of civil rights and peace demonstrators with communism throughout the Cold War, politicians on both sides of the aisle are now broadly hurling claims of antisemitism against anyone protesting Israel’s war in Gaza, many of whom are Jewish.”

  16. Rather than do anything to alleviate protests or acknowledge that protestors might have grievances, the police have been called to perform violence and uphold the will of those in power.

    Remind us again why all states are not authoritarian.

  17. "If I just double down and ignore the Youth Vote that got me into power, all for a guy that everyone knows is playing me, everything will be fine. I am reacting to current events, I am on top of things, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine"
