Now is a good time to bump this. It makes it extra hard for the National Guard and soldiers to fire at you if you are literally waving the fucking stars and stripes flag.

Yes, and we need to claim the flag back from the truly unpatriotic MAGA right
On the other hand is makes it even harder if they are dead
Just remember, according to studies most people who fire their weapon in combat do so because they think the guy next to them is relying on them to shoot. So once it starts, a lot of people will join in to protect their buddies. Try not to give these people a reason. Source: I'm a Vet.
It's time for a national strike!
Your bourgeois idealism would be cute if it wasn't so misplaced
Symbolism matters. bsky.app/profile/john...
PPS I am *not* saying to not wave the Mexican flag. I am *not* saying you have to wave the US flag if you're uncomfortable doing it. I am *not* trying to police how you protest. Protesting at all is the most important thing. But if you have a US flag, consider bringing it!
pancakes, waffles, etc.
Yeah just making sure because a bunch of people have come on to lecture people about how they should act when tear gassed and I don't want to be confused with those people.
One of the all-time great tweets.

No to the amerikkkan flag.
Seriously in deep Nazi mode ! This admin enjoys this ! Who will be next! How long will the US pay foreign governments to hold immigrants?
it does not
it doesn't stop cops from doing it, that's for sure. but I do think there is some benefit re US troop willingness to fire on people in the US
the ones willing to shoot you are gonna do it either way. they've already decided. waving the flag isn't gonna make them remember the pledge of allegiance and change their minds, any more than sticking flowers in the barrels of their rifles would.
If they're going to do that, let the media show what monsters they are.

Take the Flag back !!
This is why the fucknut brigade tried to cover themselves in it when they bumbleclutzed into the house
Hong Kong yesterday, LA today. Make the American flag the symbol of protest it's meant to be.
Damn I didn't know about Hong Kong but that rules
They waved Hong Kong and British flags, too. Reminds me of Americans adopting Ukrainian flags a few years ago. Democracies inspire.
Yes because they were all capitalist separatists who were using the US flag to appeal to the US in a misguided attempt to goad Trump into supporting them against the Beijing government
*zooms in* AND that guy has All-Might on his shirt! Fuck yeah! Gonna United States of Smash the Fash!
Women and mothers make great front lines. Most cops don't want to be there (Ice BS), getting the police to turn on the regime is always how you win revolutions.
It’s your flag. Not his.

I saw reels of this woman in Utah who keeps getting her Pride flags ripped down, so now she applies a glitter product called "UNICORN SNOT" on her flags, which rubs off on hands. I'd think waving glittered flags would get hard on their eyes in harsh bright lights?
Yes! So spot on. It’s OUR flag, the f’n nazis have their own flag. And yes, totally agree it will make it harder for the Guard to crack down. Could also help change the narrative in the news
