The funniest most chilling thing about this is the question of why this has even come up. Who has a burning desire to… display these symbols ?

"We don't deserve the trust of the nation if we're unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas" - an anonymous CG official, in the article. A truly disgusting move from the CG, but not unexpected with the direction things have been moving since they removed ADM Fagan. Do better, Coast Guard.

You can’t be MAGA without extreme cognitive dissonance....

Centrists? Oh hell...

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

Hate speech is now just speech that Trump hates.

No one working full-time should live in poverty. It’s unconscionable that businesses - especially big ones - don't provide wages that actually pay the bills while turning massive profits. Repost if you agree all #WorkersDeserve a living wage. ✊

Ummmmm........ gee, wouldn't it be great if we had the technology to store power that could be released as needed? Yes, that was sarcasm.

Zach Khan, a high school journalist, has a new investigation he's hoping you'll all read.

Last time I checked there were three countries that don't necessarily know what the fuck they're doing involved in this war.

Imma hold your hand when I say this. Everybody self censors at work. We all do. The white men were the only ones that weren’t but everybody else was expected to and that’s why we have this problem. I know it’s hard and feels oppressive but if everybody else can do it you can too. I believe in you ✨✨

When you kill the DEI so you have no drums.

A draft dodger is forcing our brave troops to do a masturbtory parade for his birthday because he doesn’t have any real friends. Top notch loser shit.

This is extremely disturbing. @padilla.senate.gov was violently removed from a public briefing for asking questions on behalf of the people he represents. Every day that goes by, Donald Trump is making our nation look more and more like a fascist state.

ICE will be ramping up its activity in Philadelphia, Seattle, NYC, Chicago, and Northern Virginia. Stay the fuck out of Philly!!

🇺🇸Congratulations to U.S. Navy Veteran @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on her win tonight in New Jersey! This continues the trend we’re seeing across the country—in blue and red areas alike—when Democratic Veterans and national security experts step up to run, they win.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

On law and order

The administration that is now using protests in Los Angeles to justify federalizing the National Guard supported Trump when he pardoned January 6 protestors who overran the Capitol.

Definitely going to make housing more affordable.

Rubio is now the first person to hold both the offices of Sec of State & National Security Advisor since Kissinger. Our enemies are ROTFL, our friends cringe & none of us should be sleeping well knowing the 47 regime is relying on brilliance like this… #DemVoice1

This is the greatest "Sir, this is a Wendy's" moment I've ever seen.

White privilege is being hired for a job you're not qualified to do, whining about DEI while screwing up again and again and again, and then being given extra time to "get it together" in the future.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

BEST thing I've seen today. 🔥🎶👏😂

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

More than 2,700 of the DOL’s 14,578 employees have been coerced into signing a "voluntary" separation agreement. Let that sink in. The truth? There was nothing voluntary about this. It was the least terrible option taken by people who were threatened with being fired if they didn't resign.

This is horrifying. Workers will pay the price.

Just before 1 a.m., #SCOTUS stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation with a (remarkable) ruling that suggests, among other things, that a majority of the justices is tiring of the Trump administration’s Calvinball. For more, see the latest “One First”: www.stevevladeck.com/p/144-the-su...

MIT following Harvard's lead here

It's giving law school gunner who prepared for moot court finals entirely with Monsters and Federalist meetings.

So is Skadden's pro bono hours going to this or is this more of a Kirkland & Ellis thing?

BREAKING: AOC bringing the house down in Utah. “It will never be just institutions and officials alone who uphold our democracy. It will always be the people, the masses who refused to comply with authoritarian regimes who are the last and strongest defense of our country and our freedom.”

I am not sure that I have ever seen a post that so fundamentally misunderstands the motivations and skill set of federal employees. Set aside the meaning of "productivity." The federal employees that the Trump administration has sought to remove are not going into manufacturing.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

I’m not predicting war. I’m telling you the conditions that precede it are already here. We’ve seen this pattern before. Most people don’t recognize it — until it’s too late.

GOP voters being against the minimum wage and also wanting the world’s shittiest jobs to come to America and the good jobs to be eliminated is a real fucked position

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Living under the constant threat of losing my job while watching the most horrific things happen in the country I love and have served for nearly 20 years is breaking me in new ways every day.

A very stable genius.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Boat derangement syndrome

Don't allow the fact that Tommy Tuberville is constantly saying stupid things to distract you from the fact that he is also constantly lying. According to the NCAA, there are less than *ten* trans athletes in *all* of college sports. Tommy Tuberville is an evil idiot.

Do not look away.
