Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

They need to fly them upside down.
This is exactly the problem. Will these American troops kill fellow Americans? Will they fight for AMERICA or TRUMP-as these are NOT the same thing.

I'm a former Marine, and I'll never stand with this fascist garbage.
Thank you for your service, and for speaking up. ~ fellow vet (Army)
They need to start showing up to the protests to protect the people.
It's about to get REAL heated here in the USA, and I'm not talking about summer temps
I put a black flag up as a household of vets. Marine and army strong🤎🇺🇸💙
Thank you for your service
A staggering level of amateurism defines this administration. It's not just policy missteps; it's a fundamental lack of understanding of how government, or even basic economics, works. We're witnessing governance by guesswork, & the nation is paying the price. The long-term damage will be profound.
Fly the flag upside down!
Don't give up the flag to them. We need an anti trump flag to go with it
Something along the lines of “I support our constitution” or democracy… yes, we def need a flag to go with it. Not BLM or LGBTQ… it’s bigger than that even .
1776 theme would be relevant
I’m a British paratrooper Vet. All American vets should gather all there experience and protect civilians as that was the oath you all took. The tyranny is within and it’s Trump and his oval table of scrotums bring you down. All Brit vets stand with YOU 🫵 Airborne ^!^ 🇬🇧 🏴
No Unity is our weakness.
I see "paratrooper" and shudder at the iron blood of people being dropped behind enemy lines possibly lacking an exit or support if things go sideways. 🫡
Thanks for speaking up. 💙
Honorably discharged US Marine here. Thank you for your support and for your service! You are right. We swore an oath and that oath is still good! On it!
Thank you for your support. I never thought I would have decisions to make if/when trump calls Martial Law. Will I go quietly in the night or face possible danger? I know my answer 🥷🏻
To all US Military and Veterans, it's time to start honoring your oaths to our American Constitution...
Sorry…both that Vets are going through this and that I’m low on empathy for those who voted for Trump and now struggling for their poor decision!
We have friends everywhere. Everywhere? EVERYWHERE.
Air Force veteran here and my profile image is taken from my front porch.
Thank you for your service. Please be safe
I was expecting this! man, we JUST remembered D-Day, and MAGA wants the US military (historic stompers-of-fascists) to do…this? Abandon all training, all ideals? I’m just a civilian, but I’d think programming the military to become the tyrants they’ve hated for hundreds of years won’t exactly fly.
Yeah rethuglicans are just wanna be NAZI's
honest question ...what would happen to a marine or guard ..if they did put down their gun and went over to the protestors ? .. anything legal ?
I can't speak to all the legal processes that would happen, but you know they're getting arrested immediately. Whether that arrest is legal or not it's going to physically happen. Sad. I think the only way to prevent that is if it happens in mass
I imagine the SECOND the cops lay hands on them like they do the protesters that entire line of Marines changes their tune
That is so far out there speculatively that it's hard to tell. We could war game all we want but you just never know until it happens.
Yes, the LAPD should def Find Out what happens when they lay hands on a Marine like the do a civie, for the science ofc
Oh opps. I misunderstood. I had it the other way around in my head.
"Protection from enemies, foreign and domestic". Those who know war recognize the enemy when they see it. And it isn't who Trump thinks it is.
They also voted for this, by voting for Trump.
REMEMBER THE OATH!! Uphold the constitution!
Our flag has been down since January. Replaced with a flag of California.
This Vet hasn’t flown the American flag since Trump and MAGA stole it to use as a backdrop to their hatred and assholes on Jan 6th used the poles they flew it on as weapons. Trump wants to start a war, he gonna find himself in one he can’t stop and he himself will be a victim of politically.
Canadian here. We had a similar problem with our flag and the so-called Maple MAGA up here. We have since managed to tak back our flag. Hoping you can do similar.
Thank you for fighting for our freedoms. You are never going to be forgotten. We are having to fight again, we will win again. #fucktrump
I hope he ends the same way as the last coward that used these insidious tactics.
Fly it upside down
I'm a USMC veteran. Fuck MAGA. They can all crawl back under a slimy rock.
Forget saying "thank you". 😁 I'll buy you a pint... or 10. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thank you 🙏
I'm a US Army and CANG veteran, and I can tell you this is wrong on so many levels. Those NG who allowed themselves to be used like this are setting themselves up for a Nuremberg fall. "Just following orders" was never a viable excuse.
Thank You for your service and protecting us. 🇺🇸🙏
Thank you, my job is not finished yet as you can see. When I took that oath, I knew it was for life, even though I'm a disabled veteran, I can still pick up a rifle and do what's needed, do what's asked of me.
You are amazing! Big love from Canada!!
I don't consider myself amazing, I'm just someone who feels that everyone deserves an equal right to life, liberty, and happiness, and my service was dedicated to that outcome. I like to think that everyone is like that but I'm not naive enough to pretend that's always the case.
Oef army vet...not even going to buy a flag. Going to buy my passport
Same.
Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done, and are STILL doing for this once great Nation. Once Trump is gone, perhaps it can someday REALLY be great again.
Thank you for your service! We all appreciate your sacrifices for our benefit!
Hopefully this is forcing a lot of otherwise "apolitical" people to choose.
Thank you for your service
Since when can the US military be deployed on US soil ? Never !! The Posse Comitatus Act restricts the use of federal military personnel for domestic law enforcement purposes. This entire situation is nothing but food for his base. Pay Attention !! Ask questions.
Thank you for sharing this. I may be wrong but I think this is an illegal order
I may be incorrect but I'll try to clarify a little. I don't think simply GOING to CA is considered unlawful, however, the moment they are told to harm/fire upon peaceful civilians, THAT is unlawful and they should refuse, especially if CA is still saying they don't need them there.
When I served in the Navy I befriended a number of Marines and have since. These men and women respect America.
I’m contemplating hanging my flag upside down.
😡😡😡
My dad was USMC Master Sgt. in WWII and he saw Trump for exactly what he was 25 years ago.
Same. Real Americans are not going to allow this bullshit no matter what it takes.
It is probably going to take some violence, either now or later. If later, it's going to take more violence. Is America ready to see itself in another civil war? Because that's what the Republican Confederates have in mind.
Yes, it is essentially what Russell Vought stated, publicly. How many MAGA would betray their country, and their fellow Americans is the question.
Just about every soldier has friends and family that would be adversely affected by unconstitutional orders.
Yeah, but does that stop people from obeying orders? No matter how illegal or unConstitutional those orders may be, people who go into the military & law enforcement don't tend to be people who disobey them! We need to face reality NOW, not later. We are in the beginnings of either a civil conflict
or the end of democracy & the beginnings of an authoritarian police state. It's pretty clear what those in power are going for. We can't assume that there will be a fair & free election in 2026 & thus hopes for a course correction. The Democrats, except for a few, have been feckless at best.
I could not agree more. Check out electiontruthalliance.org and Greg Palast's website for in-depth information on the 2024 election. We certainly cannot assume there will be a free, fair and secure election in 2026 or after, unless these issues are addressed, along with any new tRUmp power grabs.
tRump et al have used a combination of non-stop lies & executive orders designed to revoke hard won rights, destroy the Federal government, & smooth the authoritarian remaking of America. We, the people, need to create the same chaos for the authoritarians. We need to out in the streets.
We need country wide work stoppages, massive letter writing campaigns & actions the terrified 4th Estate can't ignore & might actually report on. Does America have the stomach for what needs to be done? Or will America will sink into a fascist hellhole with very little resistance?
It feels like 50-50 at best right now. We are a lazy, uneducated, complacent bunch. As for me and my family, we’ll fight this toddler tyrant and all his minions.
Everyone saying Trump is acting illegally against US Democracy. Posse Comitatus Act written to protect against threat presented by a corrupt leader to use US Military to enforce their political will. Act limits Presidential power to use federal military to enforce THEIR political domestic policies.
Our proud military plays a vital part in preserving and expanding our freedoms, often making personal sacrifices to defend American ideals and values. Now they’re defending cruelty, intolerance, vanity parades, and Trump’s ability to accept bribes and sell out our country via crypto currency scams.
Flag for the moment comes from Virginia! Roman goddess Virtus standing triumphantly over tyranny. The state motto "Sic Semper Tyrannis" ("Thus Always to Tyrants") appears below the figures, representing Virginia's commitment to liberty and self-governance.
I am happy to have the support of retired Marines. Let’s hope that we have the support of working marines whom we may face if we resist. And resist we will.
i stand with the constitution.
Welp. We're here. Violation of Posse Comitatus and the intent of the 2nd Amendent. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/... It's on. The road to Auto-Coup and establishment of a dick-tatership. Some dumb f*cking white people and some Latinos had to vote Mango Duce back in office. Nice going.
Very disappointed with current Marine leadership, but there are MAGAs everywhere there are guns.
All vets should be opposed to what is hsppening
fly them at half mast, more like....
Turn them flags upside down. The United States is in distress as long as the grifters hold the white house.
😢 🇺🇸 💙
please pass this along: bsky.app/profile/ogre...
Interesting information especially half way through when he mentions the odd escalation of violence. Putin may have sent his agitators to escalate on purpose. He mentioned 2 commie organizations: World Socialist website and the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). I will check them out🤬🤬
They have their " news " services thru consortium News... where they spread their Propaganda ... you know Putler had the right to invade Ukraine because of a promise made the the USSR... a country that doesn't exist.. Alternet is flooded with them.. They opposed Vaccines.. Like Covid
They’re asking trans service members to resign. I suggest they all take them up on the offer and get out.
#1stAmendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the #free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people #peaceably to #assemble, and to #petition the Government for a #redress of #grievances.”
We need those stories flooding the airwaves. Saw one on tik Tok
Not surprised this is NOT the America I served for
Where is Congress!!
Up Donnie’s fat ass
June 14th is Flag Day! Bring together 'No More Kings', '50501', 'Indivisible', 'Americans Against Trump', and all patriotic Constitution loving Americans to march, protest, and demonstrate nationwide June 14th for "Take Back Our Flag" Day! Support students, veterans, librarians, scientists, RESIST!
They should leave their flags up but turn them upside down
Mine is.
Don't set fires.
Yes we need pics if the fireworks!
You are absolutely correct!
Marine Corps family here that has always sided with democracy. This administration is not it!
Sorry, no longer an administration, when they deploy US Marines against their own people for a riot 45 started, it’s no longer an administration.
I completely agree!
Exactly, they're a regime.
Wannabe***
Correct but they're still doing actions physically unchecked
Then they better go to all their national guard friends and family and tell them that these orders are illegal and how unthinkable it should be for people who swore to serve and protect to consider, for a second, that this order should be followed. It should be disobeyed.
#VeteransAgainstAutocracy #VeteransAgainstTrump #ProDemocracyVeterans #VeteransUnited
Tyrants are often also the same kind of people who engage in the sex trafficking of little girls, money laundering, fraud, and other organized crime.
We are.
We are.
👏👏👏 💪
You mean elderly affluent white veterans. For some reason that your guys's age group
God bless you and thank you
SEMPER FIDELIS means ALWAYS FAITHFUL America gonna be ok bc we a rowdy bunch. Increase the rowdy but keep it pg13 😅
Ish... I'm country but respect this gonzo journalism youtu.be/BE3OYFXW-Eo?...
@mrguillotine.bsky.social hey buddy check this video. Love chan3l #5
I was going to buy a flag. Not now. Not til trump and maga are mostly out of DC
I'm bringing an American flag to the protest on Saturday. Because I'm fighting for the America I was raised to believe in - "with the liberty and justice for all". We need to take back our symbols as well as our country
I have to buy one, the one I have not being suitable. They come in multi-packs if you get the small ones on a stick. I'm taking the rest to pass out to those around me who want one.
I got the slightly larger than small size but still the economy one on the stick. I got it at the hardware store for like five bucks
My stepdad was a marine and an honorable man! He would refuse any order given to go against peaceful protesters!
When we throw out the fascists, a re-brand might be in order?
Marine infantry vet here ‘82-‘86… I haven’t flown a flag at my house since those people elected this POS the first time… but I’m tempted to put one up just so I can take it down
Honor before duty.
I haven't flown the flag since the First Felon was elected, and will only put it up again after he is gone.
Ditto! I've done the same.
I look at it differently. We, the ones fighting for democracy should be flying the flag. We need to own it.
Of course that is absolutely your right to disagree. I just can't look at that flag, and not see that bastard in the middle of it, spoiling it and what it stands for.
I'm sure that somewhere, some MAGAcult sycophantic red-state US Representative is drafting a Bill to introduce a new flag with the 🍊💩🌮🐔🤡's hideous face on it. I swear, there is no bottom to their insanity.
He will be so proud of himself! Will they start pasting his ugly face on the sides of buildings so that everywhere we look we can see images of the great leader?
Everybody should do what they want. That’s ok. I like the idea of so many people flying the flag that they can’t use it as their symbol. It takes that privilege away from them.
I can't look at it without seeing him. Sorry.
No need to be sorry. You do you. 😊
Me 2! I think the protesters in LA should carry USA flags as a sign they want to stay in USA.
That’s bc you’re white. US citizens are being picked up by ICE. They should be able to fly whatever TF flag they want! Dems censoring flags now. Wow. New low.
I agree. Freedom of speech. Carry whatever flag you want but from the perspective of fighting for this country and saving it from a dangerous unlawful administration we should own the flag. Carry it and show it everywhere. Fly it upside down if that feels better.
There’s always a but… save it. Want to be performative? Line up 20 pregnant white women and have them fly the Mexican flag. 🇲🇽 that is a message. Stop policing the protests, I’m pretty sure there’s enough of that happening right now.
I think you’re misunderstanding my intention. It can be both and. Not everybody needs to be or do the same thing.
That’s interesting. My reading comprehension is just fine. Maybe reread your words and decide for yourself the tone of your comment. The last thing we need are more people telling people what to do. Have a day “unity coach” lol
Ok I’ll do that. You may also want to work on yourself. You seem to be offended or defensive. This is actually your own doing, not mine. People don’t give offense, they take offense. It is you choosing to be offended based on your interpretation. That is on you.
Same! My neighbor across the street who is a Trump supporter & was supportive of immigration enforcement, now has his flag down too.
Has he changed his mind about supporting Trump?
Don’t take down the flags. They represent a great country which is currently dealing with a temporary leader who is a hate-fueled coward.
Upside down would be appropriate too.
You are all Palestinian now.
That is not the play. It’s OUR flag.
I agree that this is our flag. Flying it upside down might be more "correct", but would make targets of the homes of the resistance.
Yes, blood on your door
Ease up.
I was referencing Blood on your door from the days of Pharaoh Sorry, should have said that
I got it. Idk how many will.
Welp, depends on if you’ve seen Moses
I guess it does. Tell me what Moses told you.
Sorry, I don’t need to give you a history class. And we didn’t speak directly
Oy.
My neighbor flies huge flags on his big truck. One is US flag with an Eagle & 'MERICA across it. The other-new one!- is the original colonies flag with 1776 in the middle. Now, I don't know if that's being patriotic OR if gearing up for civil war, but I have my cautious concerns.
Mines been out upside down since the moment Trump was inaugurated the second time. So far I've only had one angry person knock on my door, but they left before I could go outside for a talk. Don't interrupt me cooking dinner because of your fragile ego!
I had someone come take mine down and throw it in my front yard while I was at work.
I had someone yell obscenities from their truck, turn around and scream them again going the other way.
Yeah? Fuck those guys.
I took it down to take to a protest. After the protest, a vet stopped me in my car... to shake my hand and say 'Thank you, it's so appropriate right now.'
Well that's not proper flag etiquette!!
Right!? But we have to keep in mind, the flag means nothing to these people. They will gladly use it as a weapon in a REAL insurrection. It's about power, control, and conformity to a value system that has only ever existed in their minds.
I get that. Thanks.
And that's why I have cameras on the front yard now.
Actual patriots know everything Trump has done is wrong. Involving military at any level is illegal. Eventually anyone participating will lose everything. Not participating in this sham is what should happen. Even if they voted for “king” Cheeto they know fighting Americans in America is wrong.
Many are flying their flags upside down.
We are grateful to our service members who have, and always will, defend THE CONSTITUTION.
I just wonder how long before ice kills someone. I hope it doesn’t happen, but things are escalating.
They’ve already killed people, more than one. People are dying in ICE custody and disappearing to foreign death camps.
It just isnt publicized
Oh it is it’s just the “flooded zone” and people trusting MSM as their only source of information. Media literacy is such a necessary tool rn.
I think they admitted to 9 people dying during one of the Senate hearings.
And that should be headlines everywhere, you know? These people matter just as much as white protestors.
I'm in Canada and I haven't seen any reporting on that. I don't watch Fox and am off Twitter. However, what I'm talking about is shooting people protesting in the streets.
So damned sad.
Look at the big picture. It is Trump doing Putin's bidding by trying to start a civil war.
Not just Marines, all service veterans are speaking out...and doing the same with their flags.
If veterans protest, I hope they do it as a group and loudly proclaim they are veterans...who served to make sure this sh** never happened in america.
There was a national veteran's protest this past Friday. I think it was focused more on the administration's attacks on the VA and other veteran's support services and programs. I hope they mobilize more over this unconstitutional use of the military.
My military town has its annual parade next weekend and I am marching with veteran protesters against Trump and taking friends and family . Everyone that is able needs to hit the streets next weekend.
They canceled the whole parade in an attempt to shut down a protest and hateful people have made threats on social media to “shoot” us. We are still protesting by the Main Street of town. I will post videos later. We refuse to let bullies and fascists shut us up.
They need to stand down NOT Speak out and do nothing else
ATTENTION ON DECK! Active Duty, Guard, Reserves, and Retirees! ALL #Veterans! As Our Drill Sergeants, RDCs, MTIs, DIs, and RCCs Yelled At Us, "PULL YOUR HEAD OUT!" "We Will Not Lie, Steal, Or Cheat-Nor Tolerate Among Us Those Who Do!" #ACT Like This Oath Still Means Something! 🇺🇸
Have you ever taken an oath to not tolerate those who cheat lie or steel? That was no where in my oath. That is a motto for the elite officer training center at West Point.
I know all of the Service Academies teach that oath to all students. I attended, "Officer and a Gentleman", school (U.S. Navy Aviation Officer Candidates School (AOCS)) Class 33-82; SSgt Kerr, USMC. While at AOCS we (as USN E-4s) also 'Learned and Lived' that oath.
Most officers don’t attend academies. They go to regular colleges and ROTC. It’s not an oath normal soldiers take. It’s a motto. Like “This We Will Defend” or “Semper Paratus”. Not an oath. The oath is to follow the orders of those appointed over me and to protect and defend the constitution.
This makes me cry. Every.Single.Time.
Thank you. 🇺🇸
The white rich indoctrinate the white poor to kill the grown guy so the rich folks can steal resources from them. If you die or crash in the process they don’t care. The empire comes first. I fear your patriotism is misguided. I’m sorry.
Any person serving in the military, that supports Trump and maga, is the ignorant fool he thinks you are. He hates you, thinks you're suckers. He's only deporting immigrants, he expects you to die, and die you will on foreign soil. Unsung and unsupported.
It’s really nice to know how our military SHOULD be responding. Question is how will they ACTUALLY respond
My hope faltered when the US Marshalls refused to let elected officials into government buildings. And it grows lass by the hour with the National guard so willingly taking up arms against citizens. (Plus the way people, I know personally, their reactions currently active and retired 💔)
Marshall’s and military are two entirely different entities. Still, I see your point. We will have to wait and see and then reassess to figure out the next move.
Yep. And now marines are deployed on US soil in LA. 😮💨 it’s really looking bleak as far as the military is concerned.
Marines, hang them upside down to support our beloved country...we are in distress right now. Russians are controlling the executive branch.
Came here to say this ☝️
As a Marine vet I support this. Semper Fi.
Thank you very much, Marine veterans. How honorable of you!!❤️❤️❤️
👏👏👏👏💙
fly it correctly.
Mine is down until trump goes.
As they should and any veteran or member of a sister service should do the same.
I will bring the American flag that covered my Marine father’s coffin to No Kings Day. He fought the fascism of his time. Now we must stand up for democracy.
Respect 😔
My son drives a truck. All loads going in or out of LA have been cancelled. He is heading out of the area to wait in safety.
Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 restricts the use of federal military forces in domestic law enforcement roles, meaning that the military cannot be used to enforce domestic laws against U.S. citizens without specific authorization.
#Oora!
Hanging the California flag at our home…in CA
In the "before times" my uncles would tell me how if you wore your uniform in public people would shake your hand, buy you a cup of Joe or a beer at the local. I looked forward to that. After returning in '69 I never wore the crackerjacks again. I'm proud to be a vet but took my flag down in 2017.
18 U.S.C. § 1385. Clearly outlines the restriction as well as the penalty. Using the Marine Corps as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
👍
Veterans if you know anyone on active duty, reach out! Check on them. Remind them these are NOT normal times. Help prepare them. Mentor them. Send them info on what to do if faced with unlawful orders. We may reach them in a way no one else can or will. ✊️
That’s the sticking part “obey the orders of the President” and “officers above them”
Thank you for being a beacon of light in the storm..
Thank you - I love hearing this. Too many vets here in Texas are still brainwashed.
Trump is batshit crazy…
Yes, yes he is.
My husband is a veteran. He hung our American flag upside down the day tRump was elected. We intend to keep it upside down till hopefully they pull him out. Everyone, make sure whatever you do is legal. Military, you took an oath. Republican representatives & senator's, you took an oath. And VOTE!
My marine vet father is disgusted, and speechless.
My husband is an Air Force vet. He’s not down with any of this.
Mine too
The Trump / Republican Nazi party is fucked when the military sides with us.
I am proudly displaying my American flag. Upside down. Country first. Death to tyrants and treasonists
Amplify this any way possible 📢📢📢📢
NO TO A POLICE STATE - MILITARY & LAW ENFORCEMENT: Honor your oath to the Constitution & the American people. We are a nation of equal justice under law & due process. DO NOT FOLLOW ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDERS BY ANY AUTHORITIES. BE A TRUE PATRIOT AND HERO. FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC!!!
They remembered the oath they took to protect the Constitution.
Americans massively outnumber anything the terrorist can put forward. Stop allowing Trump admin travel into your states. Many states have citizen arrest laws, pick of Tom Homan or Noem and prosecute them in a public tribunal. They have both admitted, bragged about breaking laws.
People posting videos of themselves taking down their flags in response to the leaders birthday parade would be a great social media campaign
I would like to see them all hanging upside down though.
To each their own but my American flags fly proudly at my home and my office and I will NOT give over that symbol of freedom to Trump and his minions. No, the flag belongs to all of us, not to Trump.
It doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. Taking it down for parade only is an option. I also get the statement of not letting others decide what the flag or being an American means to you. Just looking for a way for some folks to show they don’t support this parade/use of our military.
I've kept mine up, but draped it with black ribbons
In moments of anger I’ve thought about taking down my American flag. Glad to have not acted on impulse and emotion. My family has served in every war since WWII. That flag is up for their service. Not coming down.
Or in response to Marines deployed on American soil against Americans.
I pray that the Military will stand up against HIM and protect us Americans! It is too obvious what is the plan…
Military participation in this is a shame.. our fathers and mothers fought against dictators but now US military has aligned with the most stupid dictator to destroy our nation.. shame
Time to take Alito’s lead and fly the flag upside down.
I was wondering? Thank you we are a free people
Same...
My daughter’s flag has gotten tattered from catching on her siding. She says she refuses to replace it until the authoritarian regime is out
I totally understand. Moved to a house with a very tattered flag, and left it up tattered because that’s how I felt. Had decided to do the very same thing. But it got super ripped during a wind storm so I had to come down, but this is so appropriate.
✊🏼
Love you brother!
Same, my man…same. Let’s fix this together!
💪💪💪
💙👏💯👍🔥
Thank you, sir... and thank you for serving, as well.
As a supporter of our precious veterans and our nation, I am doing the same.
Thank goodness! I was hoping to not be alone. Mine won’t get turned until later today, as I’m not there, but it will be turned. Before I even enter my home.
An Airforce vet friend did this and his MAGA neighbors actually MOVED bc the HOA wasn’t able to bully him into taking it down bc it “made them uncomfortable.” Too bad, so sad lol #MakeNazisUncomfortableAgain ✊🇺🇸
Effin' snowflakes
Thank you for your service! We all appreciate your sacrifice!
Thank you
When enough of these are on display it will send a loud and clear message. Thanks for sharing!
exactly
Thank you for your service.
More like this.
Love it!!
Thanks! Got it from flagsforgood.com
Thank you for your service. Please be safe
I won't be flying one on June 14th, Flag Day, it's also my birthday. I am a vet.
Great news. This is as they should be doing.
🇺🇸🗽⚖️
my best friend's house in the Blue Dot of Nebraska, retired teacher and an Army veteran, an American flag once flew there
Canada here. Our hearts are with you
Thank you. We are merging anger with fear now. We, the people, feel helpless. Our politicians stand by doing nothing. We need a Carney. 🇨🇦
Get the few who are any good at peaceful protests with you. They're mostly the local ones. Demand it. They work for you You need a good house cleaning, and our hearts really are with you to prevail
Was married to an Army officer. I wear my Canada hat now every chance I take. I will be disgusted with any military service member who engages civilians and forgoes their oath. Disgraceful!
bsky.app/profile/dizz...
That's awful, hopefully a rare viewpoint
Regardless, the army chose to use it in their promotional video.
I get it, not good
Took my flags down the day Roe was overturned
Talk to troops about Posse Comitatus, and what it means. And remind them they don't have to obey an illegal order.
That’s a relief!
It is also just the beginning.
Thank you
Cheering you on from 🇬🇧 Stand strong! 💙💙💙
Dont take your flags down. Flip them over, because this is a country in distress!
Yes, then get on the front line with the civilian protesters.
And here they are happily following a draft dodger’s orders…detaining a veteran on his way to his VA appointment
Too bad the current Marines being deployed are excited to be able to shoot people. They can't wait!!
Looks like Donald just sent 89 Navy Seals in scuba gear flanking the ICE agents' toddler arrests, coordinated with helicopter tailgunners like in "Full Metal Jacket" to pick off any scattering undocumenteds. Many Play Stations looted from Walmart! Clips already compiled for GOP House campaign ads.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on Bluesky. Plenty of mindless ignorant blathering like that on X, but not usually here. Marines are America's sons and daughters. They aren't psychopaths. They do not get excited about being able to shoot people.
Sure they don’t…guess we’ll find out soon won’t we?
She has no clue… it’s exhausting. Semper Fi Marine, ~Helmand Valley Pedro
Then just finish jacking each other off & leave me out of it 😘
You’re welcome for our service Ma’am.
Do you have a source for that, or you just like to spout nonsense?
We’ll all see for ourselves soon won’t we?
I guess that answers that.
huh?
Tell ya what Turk...there's a hotline where current Marines can call (GI Rights Hotline) 1-877-447-4487 & refuse to carry out orders because of "conscientious objection". My guess is ZERO Marines will refuse to go along with whatever illegal orders trump gives them. What's your guesstimate?
You know that hotline isn’t new, right? Conscientious objection isn’t something you trigger with a phone call. It’s a formal, lengthy legal process that requires documentation and approval through the chain of command- not an instant shield against unlawful orders. I’d suggest reading up on it.
Yes I knew that Professor Turk & yet there will still be zero calls to the number.
Then you also know it’s not a public poll — it’s a private legal process. Announcing 'zero calls' to score points online isn’t insight, it’s performance. I’ll stick to facts over speculation.
I never said it was a poll & couldn’t care less about scoring points. Facts are facts. There’s a lot of Marines who would love to bust heads open. If you don’t believe this then you’re the one ignoring facts.
Blondie, what you’re peddling is called a generalization. A lazy one. 'A lot of Marines' is not a fact. It’s a personal narrative. If you truly cared about facts, you’d stop using stereotypes to smear an entire force of professionals.
Never said all I said a lot & you’re allowed to disagree & move along now.
Gladly... as none of what you've said is based in logic or fact and is in no way grounded in the reality of the situation. it's also clear you have no understanding of how the military, or conscientious objector status works. Cheers.
Thank you to all our vets! 🙏🏻🌺
Maybe I live in a bubble, but I haven’t heard many WWII vets commenting on this. I’ve been off of FB since January.
I haven’t flown my flag since the election and won’t while that ignorant bully is in office. I do have a large blue bow on my house to support my party. I will always be a proud democrat.
We need to take back the symbols of our democracy. Fly your flag upside down in the international recognize signal of distress. And keep it that way until our country is free!!
My flag flies upside down now as a sign of distress.
Alabamian's are removing their Trump signs!
Good. Speak loudly and often. That's the only way anyone will get the message.
We don’t need words. We need a well formed militia and community organization. This is the fight for freedoms they’ve been lied to about in all those foreign nations. It’s fkn HERE. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW. This is about US vs THEM. Refuse to be their lifeblood. Refuse to DIE for fake freedom. FIGHT
I haven't flown our U.S. flag since Jan 20. Thinking about doing it upside-down on Saturday.

Rather they act now and not just talk
It’s a good thing anytime someone gets woke. I hope having friends is enough, but I don’t think so. We could use some marines on our side.
I understood that reference.
So very encouraging. Thank you for info.
any marine that follows these orders should receive a dishonorable discharge should they survive long enough to see a new administration. Any that bring violence upon american citizens should be in prison for life. Thats the BEST case scenario for them.
Does not survive that is They have families right?
please explain what you mean. I've read it several times and am having trouble understanding your meaning.
What are you refering to? Bloesky doesn't allow me to see what fucking post people are refering to.
you're either incredibly stupid, or a troll. Either way, you are not worth my time. Muted.
Any marine, national guardsmen etc that take part in this gestapo bullshit is a TRAITOR. And preferably does not. They are the enemy.
They will redeem their overwhelming mistake in voting for Trump by standing with those standing for freedom. Vets have a lot to answer for now.
I don't understand why some resisters are "taking down" OUR American flag. I'm not going to let maga co- opt our flag. I will continue to take mine to each protest. 💪🇺🇲
This cannot stand.
I'm glad some of our military members remember the oath they took. Defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Yet we elect the biggest enemy to Democracy the US has ever encountered.
My husband is a Marine veteran from a long family history of military service. Our flag hasn't flown since the election
Take back our symbols of democracy and fly that flag upside down!
I respect the deep reflection and discussion that led to this decision for us. I also respect what others have decided makes sense to them
🙏❤️
We also took ours down. And then we raised our Virginia state flag. Sic Semper Tyranus. I will always be a Virginian first.
Husband is a Navy veteran. He took down our flag November 5th.
💔
Must have been sad. The felon is destroying also the pride of having served.
This. I can't imagine how many more of us thank the heavens every day that he was never our Commander in Chief.
My husband’s H. W. Bush. Although he didn’t agree with his politics, at least daddy Bush served and fought for his country unlike this f*cking clown.
Military leadership and retired military need to ban together. Refuse orders due to them being unconstitutional, and help organize the states national guards to protect Democracy and fight against this fascist regime.
Thank you troops- from the bottom of my heart. ♥️ Many law-enforcement officers and military service members are forced into reacting, yet this topic impacts them, along with everyone. First responders + military members are our community members 🙏🏼 Stay peaceful and don’t let them divide us ☮️ 🇺🇸
they need to speak louder get on tv get on utube, tiktok whatever . local news.
There will be plenty of heavy machinery, placed in a perfect place, on a perfect day, just waiting for the right people to take something back. And we can call it Liberation Day.
I took our American flag down after Trump was reelected, and it will stay down until we have a Democrat President elected.
You must know a different group of marine vets. All the ones around me are getting excited that the marines are being “sent in to bust some rioter heads”. But then I live in a very blue collar neighborhood. Mostly former enlisted only one former officer.
Statistically speaking, Marines do be excited for violence. Probably a side effect of crayon ingestion.
Love this. So true. Damned cowards.
Good to see support from the middle country, much appreciated!
Damn, even South Dakota, a decidedly red state, is saying fuck ice cowards
Daammmnn South Dakota 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Ya'll should exile puppy murderer next 🇺🇲🖖PROSPER, EVERYBODY
The picture isn’t from SD but we gave her out of state fan base what they demanded. A job for her outside of South Dakota. She was finished here once her term was gone. Good riddance.
Definitely isnt South Dakota. But I agree with the statement!
South Dakota?! 💪👏👏 nice.
I may be wrong but shouldn’t the wording be over the section where the oncoming traffic is? I realize it’s South Dakota but still feels more logical to have the wording on the right side of the picture. Anyone verified this as real? I want it to be, but the placement gives me pause.
It’s definitely not South Dakota.
Yep.Thanks. Read my repost.
💙💙💙👏👏👏 Thanks, to those who did this.
Uh this isn’t South Dakota. We have our own ICE problem despite the ongoing BlueSky disinformation campaign falsely claiming we are untouched by Ice. And we have our regular Saturday protests… But sorry. Our state routes signs are shaped like South Dakota, not circles.
I tried to tell them, Bill.🤦♀️
This is why we'd needed to treat Jan 6th like Sept 11th... Never forgive and never forget the Republicans utter betrayal of the Constitution and America for #TraitorTrump!
Amazing yard sign design — would love to get one, if you have a link?
No idea... stole it online
And where does one get one of these?
I will never forget and the ‘don’t tread on me’ idiots that supported this can all go sit on a grenade.
Hang em upside down
I always cherished that photo of Mussolini hanging upside down.
Hang whom upside down? I love it!!!
Let’s EVERYONE join them. America is being overtaken by a wanna be dictator and a sympathizing GOP. While we suffer the consequences!
How about flying the American Flag upside down across the country?
I like this idea!
I no longer fly my flag 🇺🇸 😐
I stopped during the first maga "occupation"... It'll stay down until they're all gone!!!
Fly it upside down.
I took mine down day after election. I’m afraid to fly upside down here in Redville. Maybe I will on Saturday.
I'm a Marine veteran. This is unAmerican, and unacceptable.
Semper Fi
Absolutely unacceptable but far from un-American. This is exactly how the country was established. Same violence, same systems…all simply disguised in an attempt to convince the world that we are the “good-guys”.
We are not going to tolerate the military being used on civilians.
No, we certainly are not! But do you think tRUmp thinks he can get away with it because it has been happening in Ukraine, and Gaza for years now with zero accountability? 😬
Don't take them down, fly them upside down, it's a better metaphor
My Marine brother among them.
Thank him, please. Hopefully he isn't alone.
💙
Where are all of my Army, Navy, Air Force(Space Force) and Coastguard people? Speak up, now is the time!
I'm right here (USAF), and speaking up. I've taken my flag down as a show of protest. I'm nowhere close to CA, but will be in the streets Saturday.
Thank you
Fly it upside down! We need to take back the symbols of our democracy!!
Thank you for your service! I have two sons in the military right now and a third probably once he graduates next year, so far I have a Marine and a Guardian but I hope to have an Airman soon! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for your service!
Thank you
Me too!
Consider flying it upside down. As a citizen of LA, that's what I'm doing, since our citizens are (per the US Flag code) in "dire distress" in an instance of "extreme danger to life." This is only heightened by the unlawful deployment of combat troops to face US citizens.
Thank you and thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service
Right here! Hello 👋
Thank you for your service and welcome aboard Bluesky! If you want to add to you follower count please feel free to use any and all of the starter packs that some of us provide. Good luck and best wishes!
😊. Thank you, brother in arms 🫡
USAF here but my question of everyone is how will we respond in opposition to this crap going forward?
Well your friends better start organizing the resistance cells because martial law and military occupation is just around the corner!
1) Distraction from big awful bill his senators are passing to add $5 TRILLION to national debt while gutting America 2) In his dictator parade this week he will say he “sent in the Marines” with fist pump action You still doubt he will take a third term?
Not ONLY distraction.
Thank you for your support, Veteran Marines! Semper Fi!!
Veterans in uniform need to join the protests
I’m not sure, but there may be regulations about that, even after leaving active duty.
Army veteran here. Fuck Maga,I certainly didn't expect the Nazi party in america but here we fucking are.
Unfortunately, we served with some of them. Blows my fucking mind.
It still blows my mind - I didn't know any of my battle buddies were MAGA until decades after we parted ways.
They did vow to protect us from enemies, not commit domestic terror or worse
We need them to be louder
I’m not a veteran, but I won’t be flying the American flag at my house until Trump is gone from office
If I hang my flag at home, it will be upside down. I don't care if I'm a "target." I won't be intimidated.
✊🏾
✊🏻 💙
They should hang their flags upside down in the American in distress mode.
There's safety in numbers We all know what it's like to drive through MAGA areas where they proudly display their American flags along with Trump flags & other disgusting, nasty non-American flags & banners They have their 1st Amendment rights, what about us? Most of us are scared. They want that
We hang nothing outside. I live on a street with 25 houses, 95% are MAGA. We have the only PoC in our house, & we have one of 2 trans people on the street. We are also 1 of two houses where other LGBTQIA people live. We expect ICE @ our door when they start rounding up the LGBTQIA community. 😖
Stay safe, fam ❤️ and let’s start networking to provide safe harbor for each other as risks increase 🤝🌈
The forces of democracy and freedom should start organizing these guys, these people, the fired FBI agents and the prosecutors who quit the justice department in disgust. We’re going to need both guns and a system to process criminals. Nazi criminals.🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🇫🇷🇪🇺
I took mine down the day the orange plague was voted back in.
This needs to be on mainstream media
We need them to rise up! We need former high ranking officers to lead The Resistance. #AbolishICE
