"fuck your grandpa and his purple heart" -- the us coast guard
“The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika — an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting in World War II — as a hate symbol”

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

I just read the story this op-ed is based on and it’s depressing. I had no idea that Canada was getting hit harder by the measles outbreak than the US.

Can personally vouch for how much time Sarah personally spends cleaning up other people’s shite messes, including providing support to me when they come after me. It’s not fair.
I truly do not believe that most men, including "the good ones" understand how much of our careers get spent on this.

I did my job. And then I did a job that never should have been my responsibility afterwards, sending emails and having meetings about how this was allowed to happen in the first place. Other women scholars had to spend their time explaining to Aspen leadership why this was not ok.

The best defense against rumors and false allegations are my own words. I stand by my words.

It is impossible to do stand by one's words when someone deletes them and then rewrites them – which is what the BlueSky administrators did.

BlueSky could have shared a screenshot of my tweet showing the Oct 10 timestamp and that I was using Johnny Cash lyrics to quote-tweet about an article on Johnny Cash. Instead, they made it look like I issued a random death threat and falsely claimed I posted it this week. They should apologize.

I'm profoundly grateful to BlueSky users who supported me and called for my reinstatement. When I got suspended, I was not told why the first two times I inquired, or that it was for 72 hours. You forced BlueSky to respond and to issue a correction for one of the lies they told about me. Thank you.

According to the Trump admin, anyone left of fascists and Nazis are "radical leftists".

"An H.H.S. official described Dr. Norton as a radical leftist and said she was put on leave because she was criticizing the administration when she was supposed to be working."

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful".

For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really?

I cannot wrap my head around how cruel and destructive this is.

This is what comes of years of rhetoric demonizing and blaming the unhoused on the part of politicians (including big city Democrats) instead of seeing them as neighbors who need help
This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.
