This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops — WIRED UK Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

Trump says US will ‘take over’ Gaza Strip in shock announcement during Netanyahu visit — The Guardian President’s plan, which critics said was ‘ethnic cleansing by another name’, would involve the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza to neighbouring countries

With Trump’s outlandish claims to Greenland, Canada, and now Gaza we are seeing more open colonialism.

Rhetoric about ownership shows entitlement of white western leaders. This isn’t new, other western countries have their colonial projects. Trump doesn’t dress it up.

Why I resigned as chairman of Amnesty Israel Amnesty Israel cannot claim to defend human rights in israel without having adequate Palestinian representation among its leadership.

“I could no longer chair a branch that did not treat Palestinians as equal partners, and I could not sign off on a critique of Amnesty’s report that pretends to be an expert minority opinion, but is instead little more than the expression of an Israeli-Jewish worldview.”

Dear Reviewer #2,

Mean girls meme. Text reads “get in loser we’re moving to BlueSky”

I need to spend more time here cos the vibe is so much nicer and queerer than X

Keir Starmer’s continued minimisation & dismissal of Palestinian suffering in Gaza is shameful.

As Palestinians & those in solidarity, grieve, rage & weep at atrocities, ethnic cleansing, extermination & genocide they endure or witness, this is how the Prime Minister responds.
