“ICE/CBP…are waging war against…the American people. It’s up to us as people who have been in the military…who have seen war up close…who understand what it is to wage war, to say very plainly that what this president is doing is waging war against the nation.”

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

And note that Confederate flags ARE included among the prohibited-to-CG symbols! Headline ought to have included this.

Admiral Lunday needs to be relieved of Command. He clearly lacks Moral Courage.

The Coast Guard is an Honorable Organization and deserves Honorable Leadership.

Give Admiral Lunday the "Neville Chamberlain Award for Cowardice in the Face of Nazi Aggression" award and send him on his way.

the public space stuff this time of year is a lot

PLEASE DO THIS

When I worked at a bookstore, I quickly learned that people cannot tell the difference between Xmas music and any Baroque or Elizabethan music album that doesn't get too organ-ish. I used this to my advantage.

One customer caught on... AND THANKED ME
If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?

And rightfully so.

So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

My grandfather served in the Coast Guard during WWII. The ship he was on sank a fucking U-Boat. And now the USCG says a swastika isn’t a hate symbol??

These racist, Nazi assholes are making a mockery of our country and values. They’re spitting on my granddad’s memory.

They can go straight to hell.

If Charlie Kirk had walked into a Saudi consulate and been hacked to pieces by Saudi agents on orders from Saudi leadership, I'm sure Trump would've just said the same thing: "things happen". Right?
Outrageous: Trump is willfully turning a blind eye to what U.S. intelligence agencies have determined about Khashoggi’s killing.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Presumably, the first Avelo jet had picked up some ICE detainees in Reno before flying to Las Vegas.

ICE keeps detainees shackled during flight at the ankles and wrists. They can't raise their hands.

If the cabin lost pressure, did the masks drop? Did they just hang there, in front of their faces?
