The flag — traditionally a symbol of distress when upside down — was hung on El Capitan summit at Yosemite Saturday night by frustrated park workers.

        I see these “don’t buy anything on x date” protests every few months. I’ve never heard of them actually having any impact.

    I see two new thin-skinned executive orders coming:

    1. United States flags can’t be manufactured in a way that makes it possible for them to be flown upside-down.
    2. Flying the United States flag upside-down is a criminal offense.

      I’d love to see that first one written up just to have flag manufacturers go, “Wait, what?”

      Ah yes, a vector to overturn Texas v. Johnson and eventually other first amendment precedents.
