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 ?
Update: The U.S. Coast Guard reversed course, saying the swastika and noose were indeed hate symbols that are prohibited.
This came hours after The Post reported that the service was about to enact a new policy that downgraded those symbols.

Remember when Republicans and corporate media lost their minds over Charlie Kirk's murder, which was allegedly done by Tyler Robinson, and somehow blamed "the left" for their rhetoric?
But Trump outright saying Democrats should be executed is fine.

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.

![On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)
