This is the face of a nazi. His name is Kevin Lunday. He is the fascist boot licker forcibly tasked to take over the U.S. Coast Guard after Donald fired Admiral Linda Fagan on his first day in office.

He has just removed classification of the swastika as a hate symbol. Yeah. It’s now classified as “potentially divisive.”

DIVISIVE! 🤬

If it acts like a nazi, it’s a nazi.

@markwyner it’s not divisive, it’s potentially divisive. Which means it’s potentially just fine, no big deal.
@markwyner
Here’s a little quiz for him: Who did we defeat in WWII ?
@markwyner you don't need to look for a mustache, there is already a genocide

@markwyner 'Tis unfortunate that I'll be referring to the Coast Guard as the Nazi Coast Guard until he's removed (Lumpday or Trump, your choice). I don't mean to lump all current past and prospective Coast Guard members under one Nazi umbrella, but that's what these fascist fuckwads have brought about.

To all former, current and future UNITED STATES Coast Guard members who have even a shred of respect for the Constitution, please do your best to delay, deny or obstruct any orders from this goose-stepping clown (again, Limpdick or Trump, your choice).

@mast0d0nphan @markwyner In the country I served you swear an oath to protect the country and constitution - it says nothing about the government. I think it is the same in the US. As a soldier you are also required by law to resist and not obey obviously unlawful commands.
I strongly encourage everybody to keep that in mind. And act on it.

I am also pretty sure the US did execute people after second World War that tried to use use the "I was only following commands" excuse.

@Miro_Collas interesting. In this article, or another one I read about it, there was a link to a DOJ document that confirmed this. And I wouldn’t second guess it for a minute. 🤔 Esoecially when it was reported by the Washington Post, who is a right-wing mouthpiece.
@markwyner Certainly possible. I guess we'll see how things develop. But right now, we have papers contradicting one another.
@Miro_Collas @markwyner
First of all, I have never seen Mark post unverified news.
Second of all I suppose this is also fake?

Coast Guard reclassifies swastikas and nooses as hate symbols after backlash

The US Coast Guard on Thursday issued a memo that reclassifies swastikas and nooses as “hate symbols,” in a rapid about-face after facing intense scrutiny for a previous policy change which downplayed their display as merely “potentially divisive.”

CNN

@SnowyCA I honestly don't know what's what.

@markwyner

@Miro_Collas @markwyner
It is the strategy of the extreme right. They are sending mixed messages, and endless propaganda in order to make everyone feel like nothing is reliable; there's no consistency any longer , that would in normal times allows us to feel secure.
They want us to feel unbalanced, not trust the news or friends , and to question reality. It's called gaslighting.
Once our trust is eroded then we are tamed and will no longer resist the authoritarian state.
If you are having trouble finding safe and credible news sources or need to brush up on media literacy skills just shout out.
And know you can trust Mark.

@SnowyCA IHeartRadio is broadcasting an ad around the clock saying essentially as much: nothing is reliable, pay no attention to the nazis behind the curtain.

@Miro_Collas @markwyner

@bweller
I was not aware of this. Good info to know. Thank you so much for your helpful reply.

@Miro_Collas @markwyner

@bweller

Not surprising given that they’re owned by Clear Channel (now iHeartMedia).

@SnowyCA @Miro_Collas

@Miro_Collas

That’s okay. Well, it’s not okay that we’re in a position to feel this way. But the confusion is understandable. We’re all feeling it. Deciphering propaganda isn’t easy. Just know you’re not alone, friend.

@SnowyCA

@SnowyCA

You’re so kind, Snow. It’s certainly possible I could relay misinformation (certainly not disinformation). But this one checks out for sure. Thanks for the tag-team effort. 👊🏻

@Miro_Collas

@markwyner @Miro_Collas
Of course we make errors but the reason why I say we can rely on you as a source is that unlike some others when you uncover and error you never hesitate to make a public correction.
IMO, that makes a for a trustworthy friend.
@markwyner @SnowyCA Just to be clear, I wasn't accusing anyone of spreading misinformation.
However, there were two decent sources saying basically opposite things. All I did was point that out. Nothing more.

@Miro_Collas @markwyner

Would you mind if I asked the sources?
(not criticizing you)

@SnowyCA One was WaPo, the other was The Hill.

@markwyner

@Miro_Collas @markwyner
When checking the credibility of news outlets my first move is ownership because that tells me who is influencing the editorial staff

WP: "The Washington Post, a leading American newspaper, is owned by Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon. Bezos purchased the newspaper in 2013 for $250 million, marking a significant shift in its ownership. ​"
We know Bezos is on Trump's side so it's likely he instructs WP to make him look good

https://brandsownedby.com/who-owns-washington/

And I run a media bias check
The Hill:
Mostly credible however:
"... however, they sometimes rush stories and have to change them after the fact. "
Also the Hill is owned by Nexstar whose CEO is now aligned with Trump

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/nexstar-tegna-merger-tv-deal-ceo-trump-b2810500.html

It takes time to check a news outlet credibility but IMO it worth the effort.
If you are interested in a few credible sources let me know.

Another example of the importance of checking news 'cred' is this:"
A big corp that owns much of Canadian newspapers is Postmedia and the owners can be traced to a Republican owned hedge fund. The worst of their newspapers are the National Post and Toronto Sun--exactly like a print version of Fox News

Who Owns Washington Post: Details Unleashed – Brands Owned By

Who owns Washington Post? Learn about its history, Jeff Bezos’ ownership, market share, competitors, and annual revenue in this detailed analysis.

Brands Owned By

@SnowyCA Yeah, I know. :-) Since both sources lean right, that just adds to the confusion.

@markwyner

@Miro_Collas @markwyner
Lean right... now they are far right.

Independent news is more reliable as are outlets outside the US border.

@markwyner reminder: "The swastika is a symbol used in various Eurasian religions and cultures, as well as a few African and American cultures. In the Western world, it is widely recognized as a symbol of the German Nazi Party, which appropriated it for its party insignia starting in the early 20th century." So... Nazi's don't own it. It's foolish to stigmatize something that was stolen and corrupted. You're just making it easier for Nazis to erase the cultures they stole it from.

@SeekTruth @markwyner
No.

On a buddhist temple, it's fine.

In relation to anything military, or white people, it's a nazi symbol.

It's that easy.

So, what does this person look like the most? A white military person, or a buddhist monk?

@markwyner
thanks for posting this!
i researched a bit and found some articles (below)

everyone, be aware of the usurpation of the term "human rights" by US white supremicists. they're making it sound like anything in support of LGBTQ+, abortion or trans people is violating human rights by attacking white supremist ideology. totally wrapped up in their own little world and trying to make everyone think like them.

well, since the witch hunts centuries ago, they've tried to erradicate us. we're more aware and in power of ourselves now than ever before. let's not back down or distress -- let's keep up the resistance and keep telling our history.

afterall, witches have a longer sense of time and a broader sense of community that includes human, animal and plant lives throughout the entire cosmos. Trump will pass like a speed bump.
