  1. “Its folds protect no tyrant crew, / The red and white and starry blue”*…

    (Roughly) Daily is off today… but it would be wrong to fail (to get to the almanac entry upfront) to mark the date on which we (accurately or inaccurately) celebrate the birth of our nation. So here is Paul Sorene with a selection from the photographic collection of Robert E. Jackson

    “I have decided to do a post which recognizes that next month our beleaguered country celebrates its 250th birthday. But in a subtle manner,” writes photograph collector Robert E. Jackson. “It focuses on stars in photography which makes a reference to the stars and stripes of our flag in some of the images.”

    So, half a century since the bicentennial madness of 1976 we’re back to see the wonder of America all over again…

    Holiday bonus from Robert S. Levine: “Here’s the Frederick Douglass Speech to Revisit This July 4th.” And looking forward, from Nathan Gardels and Nicolas Berggruen, “America At 250 & Beyond.”

  3. CW: political - US, flag, 4th of July

    Someone in the neighborhood does this every year for our street, and the ones nearby, for the 4th of July. 🇺🇸

    There are several fun things I could do, but I have to live in this neighborhood, so it's best to just leave it alone. 🤣

  5. CW: political - US flag

    These will be coming out pretty soon due to the 4th of July. Somebody in the neighborhood does it every year for all the houses in the area.

    I just leave it alone.

    I'm not starting some neighborhood ruckus over that.

    I mean, there are a lot of interesting things one could do, but I just leave it alone. 👐

  8. the #TrumpMobile phone is finally here... and it's a spray painted $150 chinese cell phone featuring an american flag with only 11 stripes that roughly 10,000¹ MAGAs paid $500 for.

    ¹ #Trump and co. claimed 600,000 orders but a data breach revealed there were only 10,000 orderers buying ~30,000 phones. the whole thing is just a scam to move money into the trump family's pockets. there was never supposed to be an actual phone; MAGAs who actually ordered the phone are just collateral damage in a #moneylaundering operation not the intended audience.

  11. The image depicts a distorted representation of the American flag, suggesting a potential commentary on national identity or current events. #AmericanFlag #Symbolism

  12. A little far-right demonstration in the nation's capital today.

    If you don't like this image, it might mean you suffer from trump derangement syndrome, or so I've heard it said.

    (It seems curious to me as to why _their_ flags are upside down. Maybe they just got a little confused.)

    For decades, John Monsky’s passion has been collecting American flags – from those that accompanied soldiers during the Civil War and on the beaches of France on D-Day, to ones that landed on the Moon. He tells Mo Rocca that the flags in his collection have been both witnesses to and participants in history.

  15. Since #Arizona has been in the news, here’s a normal sight. At Costco business center yesterday. I had to see who was driving this car. Now I’m trying hard not to stereotype. But. Think Travis in Taxi Driver when he went crazy and with the odd Mohawk hair. Only make him weigh about 300 pounds. And while he was pumping #Karen his wife joined him. Totally a “Karen”, also hefty. They both were strutting around their car and looking around to see who was looking at them. #Flags #Costco #Phoenix #AmericanFlag #America

    Donald Trump vs. Antonin Scalia on burning the American flag

    Analysis by Zachary B. Wolf, Aug 25, 2025

    Pro-Palestinian demonstrators burn a US flag at Union Station in Washington, DC, during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the US on July 24, 2024. The act drew bipartisan condemnation. Probal Rashid / LightRocket / Getty Images / File

    President Donald Trump sees an epidemic of flag burning and says it needs attention.

    “All over the country they’re burning flags,” Trump said Monday in the Oval Office, declaring it an important issue. He signed an executive order directing his Justice Department to investigate incidents of flag burning where laws are broken.

    There are a few problems with his claim, the first of which is that it’s not at all clear they’re burning flags all over the country.

    There are incidents of flag burning at protests, surely, such as when pro-Palestinian protesters burned an American flag alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress last year.

    That burning drew bipartisan opposition. Then-Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the act and said the flag “should never be desecrated in that way.”

    ‘Sad’ Supreme Court protected flag burning as speech

    But beyond the question of whether flags are indeed being burned all over the country is the fact that the Supreme Court, back in 1989, declared flag burning to be a protected form of speech under the First Amendment.

    Trump acknowledged that decision by a “sad” Supreme Court, and his executive order is seemingly written to address the Supreme Court’s flag burning decisions.

    The administration will try to prosecute other crimes, like violent crimes, hate crimes and crimes “against property and the peace,” as a way to deter flag burning, according to a White House fact sheet.

    Trump spoke to that Supreme Court decision when he said the simple act of burning the flag is an incitement.

  18. #MAGA really wants it to be legal to burn a #PrideFlag, while Trump wants jail for #AmericanFlag burners

    by Josh Marcus
    Tue, August 26, 2025

    Excerpt: "Trump supporters, as well as the president himself, have been accused of desecrating the American flag in other ways.

    "During the January 6 insurrection, Trump supporters replaced an American flag at the U.S. Capitol with a Trump flag, and one protester used Old Glory as a weapon against police officers.

    "At the White House, the administration has replaced Hillary Clinton’s first lady portrait with a painting imposing Donald Trump’s face over the American flag.

    "On the 2020 campaign trail, meanwhile, Trump replaced the American flag with the police-themed Thin Blue Line flag at rallies."

These idiots don't even follow proper flag protocol!!! How many of them "retire" their flags properly? I learned this stuff in scouts! This is just another excuse to arrest people who #protest!!! Like COMBAT VETERANS!!!
