"We don't need a traditional military to be doing that job, right? That's a coast guard job ... You could have an entirely different force doing that stuff ... We could even have ... a disaster management/ coast guard/ [anti-]poaching protection force ... You don't need javelin missiles or any of that nonsense for that."

It could be an umbrella for firefighting and Search & Rescue services too.

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.

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.

#US #CoastGuard enacts policy calling #swastikas, #nooses ‘potentially divisive’ instead of #HateSymbols
The #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.

Good! I am glad someone with intelligence & a conscience reversed this decision.

#USCG reverses course on policy to call #swastikas & #nooses 'potentially divisive'
The late-night change came the same day media outlets, led by WaPo, discovered that the #CoastGuard had written a policy…that called those same symbols “potentially divisive.” The term was a shift from a years-long policy…that said symbols like swastikas & nooses were “widely identified with oppression or hatred” & called their display “a potential #hate incident.”

For the "U.S. #CoastGuard will no longer classify #swastikas, nooses as hate symbols" WP exclusive, there is an official reaction.
P.S. personally I don't trust either of them so better wait until next week and see.

Previous guidance put in place in 2019 said #USCG commanders could order #swastikas, #nooses or other symbols to be removed even if it was determined the display did not rise to the level of a #hate incident. That policy was enacted months after a #CoastGuard officer, Lt Christopher Hasson, was charged with plotting a large-scale attack on Democratic lawmakers, including then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

A #CoastGuard official who had seen the new wording called the policy changes chilling.
“We don’t deserve the trust of the nation if we’re unclear about the divisiveness of #swastikas,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to a fear of #retribution.#law #Trump #WhiteSupremacy #racism #antisemitism #swastika #nooses #ConfederateFlag #HateCrimes #HateSpeech

Okay, & apologies to the demure, but this deserves unbridled cursing;
Holy mother fucking shit are you fucking shitting me?!?!?!!!?
#US #CoastGuard will no longer classify #swastikas, #nooses, #ConfederateFlags as #hate symbols
The #military service, which falls under the #DHS, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”#law #Trump #WhiteSupremacy #racism #antisemitism #HateCrimes #HateSpeech

#US #CoastGuard Has A Working Heavy I#cebreaker Again
#USCGC #Pola Star returns to service amid a glaring U.S. icebreaker capacity gap that was made worse by a recent fire.
The medium icebreaker USCGC #Healy, the service’s only other icebreaker available for operations in the #Arctic and #Antarctica, sailed back into Seattle earlier this month after suffering a fire that forced its crew to abandon a planned deployment to the High North.
