#US #CoastGuard enacts policy calling #swastikas, #nooses ‘potentially divisive’ instead of #HateSymbolsThe #USCG has allowed a new workplace harassment policy to take effect that downgrades the definition of swastikas and nooses from overt hate symbols to “potentially divisive” despite an uproar over the new language that forced the service’s top officer to declare that both would remain prohibited.#Trump #WhiteSupremacy #antisemitism https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/12/16/coast-guard-swastikas-nooses/

@Nonilex So after they said they wouldn’t, they did anyway.

@Nonilex That swastika thing directly contradicts an executive order on antisemitism, doesn't it? Also the symbols of defeated enemies SHOULD be anathema anyway, regardless. No need for confederate flags either, jackasses.

@NonilexNo wonder they had to force out the prior Commandant of the Coast Guard, she never would have stood for this Nazi shit.

[To clear up any confusion—this is a reversal of the reversal. They were gonna do it, but the backlash caused them to reverse. But then they went ahead with the new policy anyway.]The new policy went into effect Monday, acc/to written correspondence that the #CoastGuard provided to #Congress this week, a copy of which was reviewed by WaPo. The manual is posted online & makes clear that its previous version “is cancelled.”#Trump #USCG #WhiteSupremacy #antisemitism https://media.defense.gov/2025/nov/14/2003820615/-1/-1/0/CI_5350_6A.pdf

Spox for the #CoastGuard & #DHS, which oversees the military service, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The symbols issue is expected to come up at a #House committee hearing Tuesday.WaPo was first to report on the #USCG’s plan to revise its workplace harassment policy last month. #Trump #swastikas #nooses #WhiteSupremacy #antisemitism

The #Trump admin called the article “false,” but within hours of its publication the service’s acting commandant, Adm. Kevin Lunday, issued a memo forcefully denouncing symbols such as #swastikas & #nooses, & emphasizing that both remain prohibited.Lunday said at the time that his Nov 20 memo would supersede any other language.#USCG #WhiteSupremacy #antisemitism

It was not immediately clear Tuesday why publication of the new harassment policy was not paused so the “potentially divisive” language used to describe #swastikas & #nooses could be removed to align with Lunday’s directive.#Trump #USCG #WhiteSupremacy #antisemitism

The #CoastGuard’s policy softening the definition of #swastikas — an emblem of #fascism & #WhiteSupremacy inextricably linked to the #Nazis’ extermination of millions of #Jews & the deaths of more than 400,000 #US #troops who died fighting in World War II — comes as #antisemitism is on the rise globally. At least 15 people were killed over the weekend at a Hanukkah celebration in #Australia.#Trump #USCG

Deborah Lipstadt,…who served as President #Biden’s special envoy to monitor & combat #antisemitism, said the #CoastGuard’s decision to approve the change was “terrifying.”“What’s really disturbing is, at this moment, when there is a whitewashing of #Nazis amongst some on the #FarRight, & Churchill is painted as the devil incarnate when it comes to WWII, to take the #swastika & call it ‘potentially divisive’ is hard to fathom….It is not ‘potentially divisive,’ it’s a #HateSymbol.”#Trump #USCG

@Nonilex Right, and these are the people who are accusing everyone of being antisemitic.
