U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

COMMENTARY: Donald Trump’s desire to be “peacemaker-in-chief” is based on a profound fallacy: that peace merely entails an end to fighting.
Trump isn’t the peacemaker he thinks he is

The creators of “South Park” once said they had nothing more to say about Donald Trump. But now they are using the president as something of a Trojan horse for mocking another subject entirely, Paula Mejía argues. https://theatln.tc/ypUlTjcv

The goal of the Trump administration's attempted social revolution “isn’t just to shatter a few institutions. It intends to crush the power and authority of whole professions, to severely weaken, if not purge, a social class,” Franklin Foer writes:
Trump Has Found His Class Enemy
The president unleashes a Marxist theory of power—but against knowledge workers, not billionaires.

The EU doesn’t really do knee-jerk reactions.
And when it comes to trade wars, it prepares its case, builds a consensus among its members — and saves its most painful retaliation until last.
