I'm a dog. Just a good dog out here resisting the rise of authoritarianism in the US and around the globe. Go host a potluck with your neighbors!

Coverage dismissing the fact that National Guard are “just patrolling safe tourist areas” is missing the point.
The very nature of a presence patrol — I did hundreds of these in Iraq — is to project strength.
That’s to embolden your allies.
And to threaten your enemies.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.
Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.
🚨🚨 NEW: House passes sprawling domestic policy bill, sending it to Trump's desk
Final House vote is 218-214, with TWO Rs voting no (Massie & Fitzpatrick).

House passes sprawling domestic policy bill, sending it to Trump's desk
The Republican package would slash taxes, boost spending on immigration and the military, and impose steep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and clean energy funding.

Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
