ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

We’re having monster fun on the new Starship Alexandria episode. Plus our patron special looks at the weird, bleak but very good film Aniara.
Lovelies, here's a shiny new episode of Starship Alexandria, in which I recommend the movie Godzilla Minus One to @aptshadow.bsky.social in the hope he'll recommend it to the fleet.
It's a cosy, nerdy, and occasionally silly low stakes discussion.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

America, 2026. No matter who you are, government agents can kill you in the street. Despite your murder being captured on film, the President will lie and call you a terrorist. Millions of people online will celebrate your death.
