Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:
- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
Those are just factual statements.

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.”

The UCMJ - that's something you hear a lot of in the U.S. military. It applies specifically to the unique functions of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard.

Americans see the failure of leadership & we deserve better. Just today, the president invoked violence against political opponents, a court ruled that his National Guard deployment in DC is "contrary to law,” and a Fox News poll reflects broken economic promises felt across party lines.

It's becoming clearer and clearer that once Trump is defeated or dies, it will be necessary to undertake a massive purge of the chuds who went to work for this regime, and re-hire the honorable, intelligent federal employees who bailed the fuck out.

We can, must, and will purge all defenders of this kind of repulsive lying, racism and gaslighting from the US military and from DHS.
A new Coast Guard policy recasts swastikas and nooses as merely “politically divisive," deletes protections for transgender men and women, and suggests hazing has military utility

Before she died, my great-grandmother told me what her mother told her as swastika uniforms took her to the gas chambers:
"Remember you're a Jew; I'll return soon." She never saw her again.
A new Coast Guard policy says that same swastika isn't hate but "potentially divisive."
Never again is now.

Trump fired Admiral Linda Lee Fagen, Coast Guard Commandant earlier this year. Now the new Acting Commandant is aligning with Trump regime policies. Incredibly,“the Coast Guard declined to address why its new policy no longer characterizes swastikas, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.”
