Because now its a DHS recruiting symbol.
"The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol,"

Free buses are an investment in our people and our economy — helping workers, small businesses, and every New Yorker who deserves a more connected city.
Iowa City Made Its Buses Free. Traffic Cleared, and So Did the Air. nytimes.com/2025/11/18/clima…
My God, this site is so terrible now. It's all right-wing preening & self-satisfied bull$hit.
A world of Yikes.

Just in: Zohran Mamdani says he's voting yes on ballot questions 1-5 and no on 6.
If Kansas Senator Roger Marshall's head was any further up Trump's a$$, he'd be able to give him a live-look colonoscopy.
Hey @jocoelection, it's illegal to register to vote at an address that doesn't exist, right?
Can you maybe nudge DA Howe to look into Lenexa resident Douglas Shipe? Because I am sure he wants to root out voter fraud whenever & wherever it happens.

Sports venue subsidies are not the product of teams extracting consumer surplus through relocation threats. The cause is local leaders who benefit from the perks associated with professional sports, who willingly hand out taxpayer dollars for access. woai.iheart.com/featured/san…

After watching local government operate the last decade, I think it consists of:
40% of people who hate developers / builders and try to stop them
30% of people that don’t understand how the City works and the process
30% genuinely nice people who try to make a difference

It's time for the US to really show the British how to put on a royal wedding
Hey @jocoelection & JoCo District Attorney's office (do they have a Twitter?), is someone going to investigate the apparent voter fraud of Douglas Shipe, who seems to have registered to vote at an address that doesn't exist?
Cuz that's illegal, right?

THREAD. Today's article by New York Times reporter Devlin Barrett is a good example of how bad journalism can normalize authoritarianism. Let's look at a particularly egregious example.
If given the choice in the Democratic primary for KS Governor between two state Senators, one of whom accepted a donation from CoreCivic, and one who didn't, I will go with the non-CoreCivic candidate, plz. #TeamCindy
