A new U.S. Coast Guard policy, set to take effect next month, will no longer classify imagery of swastikas or nooses as hate symbols, downgrading the level of scrutiny needed to order their removal from Coast Guard facilities.
Swastikas and Nooses Are No Longer Hate Symbols Under New Coast Guard Rules
The new policy also prevents Coast Guard officers from immediately removing white supremacist symbols upon discovery.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, the Trump’s latest anti-immigration crackdown garnered headlines both for “how inhumane and aggressive” the operations by ICE were, as one journalist said, and the action that local residents immediately took to protect their neighbors from arrests and raids.

The Supreme Court will decide if mail-in ballots must be received by Election Day or if states can count those postmarked by Election Day but arriving later. The ruling, expected before the 2026 midterms, could reshape voting rules in many states.

For about 60 years, the Democrats have been a center-left party. Both sides by now ought to understand that they need each other.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
