How about we all use an inverted American flag avatar?

[Cyrano]

This is a repeat of a post from yesterday and why it's important.

For those who don't know, an upside down American flag is not a sign of disrespect. It is a signal of distress.

I recently had a discussion with DUer DLevine about using the inverted flag avatar as a statement. There are almost a quarter of a million registered DUers. Wouldn't it be great if, on Inauguration Day, this site showed all inverted flag avatars?

Many here did so during the Cheney/Bush years and right now our country is hovering on the edge of a cliff. We control none of the levers of power, so making a strong statement is the least we can do.

I've changed mine from my Eiffel Tower avatar. How about joining DLevine, me, and so many others here on DU by using this symbol of distress, and showing our resistance to the impending threats to our freedoms.

C'mon. How about doing it?

(I'm really gonna miss my Eiffel Tower, but hopefully, I'll be able to change it back sometime in the not-to-distant future.)

3. self-kicked to get more of you to join in

C'mon, DUers. This wasn't my idea, but I think it's a damn good one. A site with a quarter of a million inverted flags will make news somewhere. And if does, the Orange Creature will hear of it. We will have the honor of being on Trump's shit list.

11. I love my hug the world avatar, but will happily and gladly change to this symbol on Jan 20th

12. Go to your profile, edit avatar.

You'll find the upside down flag under the category "America".

I think using this avatar sends a message that this is not business as usual, our democracy is under attack.

I have retired the starship Enterprise as my avatar. The inverted flag is more apropos.
