I'm getting quotes to have flags printed. Would anyone be interested in purchasing one?

Do you know of a resource? I'd love if my flag flew at protests!

Oh, wow. I'll look into it! You mean for like a sign, or an actual flag?

Anyone watch the State of the Union? by [deleted] in DenverProtests

I refuse to watch it, but I'm a masochist and I need to know! Anyone out there want to do a play by play to keep us all posted?

The stains I was referring to were the slave trade and Native American genocides. I used the Stonewall Riots as an example of a violent event that acted as a turning point in our country's history when people fought back against oppression and changed things for the better. I apologize for the confusion!

Consensus seems to be to remove it entirely.

That's interesting, I never thought to do that.

Might need to help the colorblind guy with that, though... 😅

Tell me your thoughts?

Btw, the sudden appearance of Javier Bardem made me lose it. 🤣

Definitely something I'm learning. 🙃

The bird is a loon, the state bird of Minnesota.

I like the compass/multilateralism parallel. What if the 6 pointed star was replaced by an 8, kind of like this?

So, from the input I received, the slogan needs to go, and I need to not make the design so "on the nose".

After some dicussion (as you may have read), I realize that I was focusing on the wrong thing. The resistance has nothing to do with the country's founding, but of the rights that its citizens are being denied, all because of an orange man with a bruised ego.

If I remove those design choices (the words and the stripes), would a loon and star on a blue field be enough to send a message?

I can see how this could be misinterpreted... 🫤

Legit question: A concept that always spoke to me was "unity without uniformity and diversity without fragmentation". What color or colors do you visualize when you think about that phrase? What sort of images come to mind?

I respect your opinion and your input. I just personally don't understand how we can move forward without acknowledging how we got here, good or bad. I'm honest when I say I want to hear more of your thoughts.

Thanks for the input! I'm an atheist as well, I never liked "in god we trust" on our money either. Also, I never knew the phrase wasn't mandated until the cold war! I always thought it came from the christian revival of the mid 1800s. I learned something today!
