The U.S. Coast Guard quietly rewrote its regulations so that swastikas, nooses, and Confederate symbols are no longer categorized as hate symbols but instead as “potentially divisive."
I just feel sick all the time.

Do not forget who sold us the fuck out the next time they’re up for election
Schumer chose 8 Senators not up for election in 2026 to take the sellout "deal". They're hiding.
The centrist Democratic leadership knows that the blue base hates these spineless cowards.
They hope that we forget by 2028 or 2030. That we won't kick them out.
Prove them wrong.

Maddow: “What she articulated is we’re going to show up for working people and we’re going to show up against fascism and authoritarianism. Those are the unifying threads that all Democratic candidates must agree to and beyond that, you can be all sorts of different things [based on where you run].”
AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

I remember how defeated I felt last year at this time. And after this long dark tea time of the soul, as Douglas Adams would say, I am so excited to see what it is to come.

Lairmore testifies that other agents gave him a plush sandwich toy, which he placed on the shelf in his office, and a patch that said "Felony Footlong," which he put on his lunch box.
Lairmore has chuckled with the rest of us at times. Defense really trying to underscore the unseriousness of it all

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen.
Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy!

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
