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 Trump Admin will fire you for having a Pride flag on your desk but downplays & normalizes swastikas & nooses?

Over 400,000 Americans died fighting Nazism. Hundreds of thousands died fighting slavery & Jim Crow.

This is a slap in the face to every American who died to defeat bigoted ideologies.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Annie Karni @anniekarni Trump himself called Boebert, regarding her signing onto the Epstein petition and spoke to her yesterday, I am told. Trump playing phone tag with Mace. So far, they are not planning to remove their names from the petition.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

White House officials say the boss is really stupid and you have to watch what you say to him

Farewell, and thank you: A veteran Tribune writer retires after 50 years of witnessing history As a history professor, I told students stories that I read in textbooks. The Tribune sent me to witness historical events.

I’ve been asked to introduce myself and say farewell in 1,300 words. So I’ll get right to the bottom line.

“Ron Grossman was born during the Great Depression, wasn’t very athletic, and is Jewish.”

Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.

Many Republicans won’t do town halls.

They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them.

We deserve much better.

Given this and Trump's past comments about groceries (he calls the term "old-fashioned"), there is a legitimate, I'm-just-asking-this-as-a-factual-inquiry-purely-based-on-the-president's-own-rhetoric question to be asked:

Does President of the United States know what getting groceries, like…is?

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

Thanks, as always @philinvestigates.com, for your essential work.

This thread makes a point I find myself coming to often these days.

It's hard to make this point in a way that doesn't sound like a threat, but it's just a fact that for centuries the wealthy in America worried that the mob would come get them and did all they could to avoid that fate.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

What he says is not the truth. He's the boy who cried wolf.

Here’s a time lapse of Chicago yesterday at the No Kings Protest.

Chicago is home to the largest population of Native Americans in the Midwest and the second largest east of the Mississippi River — more than 30,000 people representing at least 100 tribes, according to the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Trump forgot that he was President on Jan. 6th. 2021.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

ICE. IS. ALWAYS. LYING.

Bodycam footage shows ICE agent taunting Marimar Martinez before shooting her 5x in Chicago’s Brighton Park, contradicting federal claims that she drove toward officers.

The footage blows apart DHS’s fabricated story about the shooting.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

I am just so fucking proud of her.
