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.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

I'm not saying you can easily find Larry Summers email by googling his name and workplace and I am 100% NOT suggesting you bother him. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! It might distract him from covering up underaged sex crimes or sexpesting. Behave. This is a warning! Respect the guy.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

This happens every time a party is proclaimed dead, in disarray, etc. Parties don't need to solve their problems to win; they just need a favorable environment.
One of the most annoyingly obvious aspects of the post-2024 cycle was that the “Dems are doomed” narrative would only last until a cycle where the Dems did OK. The party is still a mess, but it was always clear that an electoral rebound would occur.

Teen Vogue built a brand on the fact that there is in fact a substantial intersection of nuanced political coverage and appealing to young women and I think a time will come, fairly soon, when they realize that was a really stupid thing to throw away.

Teen Vogue has been so progressive and wonderful in the past few years, so to see it of all things cave to this backward way of thinking is so sad.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
