Only the author can edit and then they'd have, say, five minutes to do so. I think most of us sloppy writers see our mistakes quickly. I can do this, for example, on RawStory Disquis comments and comment sections of some other websites.
I love that we kinda don't need properly spell any more and can still get the message across. It takes an extra second to translate it to what you meant. Grammar NazXXis truly fill no needed holes in society since our grammar is broken trash anyway, so spell how you feel! ✊
To keep the bandwidth from spiking they should probably limit it to a number of tries to fix it. So if they don't fix it three times or if they try and edit it more than three times or whatever it'll kind of shut them down and they'll just have to repost it lol
Do you think the bandwidth caused by Joy's self-correction post (and all of this mess down below it) is really a bigger spike than changing an n to an m?
Oh please honey child if you want to really take your stand on the issue of which political party has a higher education rate you’re going to be sorely disappointed at the results. Poll after poll shows that liberals go to college to get their education and republicans go to church to get theirs.
No worries. We make mistakes too. Sometimes I would type "witch", when I meant to say "which".
Anyway, I'm trying to find ways to avoid most of the news since tRump Satanic admin is controlling it. Mostly listen to podcasts & read. But I never felt more concern for our country than now.
If I get fired up enough by a post (like this one) my brain overrides all typos. Still so offended by a SC judge’s wife flying the flag this way when all was well w/the world, relatively speaking. Now is the time. NOW we’re in trouble.
I understand & am totally ok with the typo – we all do that (though, yes, I agree with the others that we need an edit button) ... but that's not the current US flag (check the # of stars) 😱
My honest opinion is that all these protests should have people wearing American flag masks and clothing. Confuse the hell out of MAGA and make any pushback from police clear that they’re attacking true patriots. We need to take our flag back from these traitors.
Respectfully, that would be against the flag code. Let the MAGA mob desecrate the flag, but let us, the real patriots, carry it or drape it over us, and treat it with reverence.
I wish I could sew. I'd make a million flag masks and we could have a million flag March! It used to piss my dad of when hippies would wear the flag in any way - he was a 20 year navy guy through 2 wars. I think he'd be just fine with this idea though.
I washed my vehicle today, outside in my driveway, in Minneapolis in Feb, then placed an upside down flag sticker in the back window, with a Glock sticker below that.
Joyce, this is not the country I grew up in evil is winning and it doesn't seem to matter what we do. They are intent on killing the vulnerable, the sick, the old, the young, the handicapped. They want to take away voting rights of everyone except men, to erase all of the progress we've made
and send us back to the dark ages. I have never wanted to flee a country before, but I don't want to be here. We aren't winning the fascists are! I'm angry I'm sad and I'm scared about what's coming and I don't know how to protect my son who is one of the vulnerable.
I think I might spray paint, "Impeach and imprison" above it for a while before fixing it. I'm sorry this happened to you. Sadly, I live in a red county in Ohio, and I won't do any political signs, flags, or statements on my property or car because of the likelihood of this happening.
I’m confused. The upside down flag means you’re for democracy and against Trump? But isn’t the upside down flag what one of the Supreme justices did at his home a while ago and it was a big uproar?
I would gladly go turn my flag upside down if it’s first option!
It’s a sign of distress. I suppose it’s what the Justice felt at the time and did it. If other people feel the same now why can’t they? People in the U.K. do it all the time as they don’t know which way up it goes. Ironically is usually the daft right wingers.
It's like watching a toddler be president Trump wants Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal. World leaders know how dumb Trump is. https://youtu.be/7AmMmYhJLZA?...
Our flag frayed at the base…getting caught in a nearby crabapple tree. Generally, I would rush out & replace it. But, frayed feels apropos. It is so hard to watch our history evaporate. Will our life savings be next,will they invade our homes,silence all truths, give Putin an office in the West Wing
Really? In what way would you say things are better? Our constitution is being ignored by the highest office in the nation, thousands of government employees are losing their jobs, the potus has turned his back on our allies and our nation is a laughing stock, people's rights and earned benefits are
being taken from them. Assistance for the poor, the elderly, and disabled is being stolen in favor of huge tax cuts for the 1%, our agencies that ensure we have clean air/water, safe meds & food are being shuttered, our military is being weakened to the point we're not safe from attack. Better? NoT!
Literally none of that is happening. Do yourself a favour and stop watching CNN and MSNBC. Just stop watching most of MSM. They are mostly politically based towards the lefts and are bought and paid for.
Oh sure, ignore all news sources, TV, newspapers, internet, court cases, the hundreds of EOs the elected felon has signed, all of the bills being proposed in congress & the senate which are available to view on the government's web site. Ignore those because you insist that you know better. GMAFB!
If you do this it will be an invitation at some point for one of those FBI Gestapo armored Cybertrucks to pull up in front of YOUR house. It took years for the Allies to build up military might to effect D-Day, and bomb Japan, to defeat the Nazis. https://halbrown.substack.com/publish/post/157877693
It's because under the menace in the WH with his disgusting attacks on our neighbors signing up with our ENEMIES, Turning our country's BACK ON THE WILL OF US !!!
HE HAS TO GO. Upside down flag, half mast, all the way for 4 years.
I took our flag off the flagpole the 1st day of this administration. I have thought of putting it back upside down but am fearful of vandalism to my home. Maybe just a peace flag should go up.
When Obama threw out all the Russian "ambassadors" after the 2016 election... When Maria Butina was imprisoned for being a Russian spy... When Paul Manafort was declared a "grave counterintelligence threat to the United States"...
AltNParks suggests that if you aren't comfortable flying your flag upside down then fly a Star Wars Rebel Alliance flag instead.
We have Luke Skywalker on our side!!!
Oh, and I think AOC should start sporting a Princess Leia hairstyle, every. single. day.
Here’s another flag to fly. The “corporate America” flag. Instead of starts, it has corporate logos on it.
Made by a Canadian company. Get yours now!!!
I’m not a proud American either. To me, there’s really no reason to be a proud American at this point.
There’s things the US has done in the past that make me proud, but a lot of that stuff is being erased or overturned. I don’t believe the US is a democracy anymore, unfortunately.
Exposing right wing ideologies and there bigoted political talking heads, makes it difficult for the average centrist voter to support their causes, we can't stop in till there world view is completely rejected.
He is also 78 years old. Life expectancy in the US is 78.4 years. Not saying anything will happen, but he does boast McDonalds and he is tanking the health and food regulations.
It then you have Vance and others who will clamor to take his place and not leave office. They’re already introducing a third term non consecutive bill in congress. Some kiss ass congressman wanting to impress trump with his loyalty to the master. I doubt it will go far;just the idea of it.
I think we can ultimately control Vance. Literally no one likes him . I think he's the end goal in this oligarch takeover but they picked a lame horse.
I fear the life expectancy for dictators and sociopaths is much longer, unfortunately. At least it seems that way. Maybe because they're immune to normal human emotions/stressors such as grief, sadness, fear, loss, guilt, etc.
According to the most recent data from the Social Security Administration, the life expectancy for a 78-year-old male in the United States is an additional 8.77 years, bringing the total life expectancy to approximately 86.77 years
We’re not alone but not united like we need to be. Mass marches & protests are fine, but if you can’t march or protest, put your tax status to exempt. You will pay back taxes next year, BUT they won’t get paid now.
This is the best way to send a message and cut off the funding for their war on us.
Sorry but I'm confused. I understand the Park Service flew this and it was meant as "distressed" i suppose. But wasn't this what Alito was doing? Isn't this originally a MAGA thing?
She hung her flag for “stop the steal” which was a BS reason, she supported an insurrection. We who are supporting flying of our flag upside down are indicating what is REALITY
The numbers are exaggerated as trump on camera even admits to rigging the elections. I’m surprised nobody has done the math of attendance at his rallies in the states he had them in because those rallies are all the people he’s got and 77million doesn’t even seem close to that number.
I've fell this way for almost a decade. This is one of the first few posters I made, color copy collages instead of apps these days. Lord of the Dumpster Fire.
My husband and I are thinking of renouncing our dual citizenship and moving back to #Canada. U.S. became stupid! I’ll miss #NYC, but his business thrives thanks to Europe and Middle-East, NOT AMERICA. He backed Trump for business—bad call. I voted Kamala! #WomenAreAlwaysRight #FuckTrump #FuckElon
Half? A very clear and sizeable majority voted for Trump or didn’t think it was important enough to show up and vote. The MAJORITY of Americans need to be held accountable.
That is NOT true! After ALL votes were counted Trump had 49.97% of the popular vote, while Harris got 48.36%. A difference of 1.61%, the 2024 election of Trump vs. Harris was the closest since 1968.
But you're 100% correct that "a sizeable" number of Dems sat on their butts on 11/5. I would like to imagine they'll be angry enough to vote in 2026 and 2028 but I couldn't believe they did it this time, so...
I'm literally surrounded by Trum supporters so I won't be doing the conspiracy dance. And it's no secret a lot of Dems sat on their butts. A lot of Dems were pissed about Gaza and wanted to punish Dems for being wishy-washy. Wonder how they feel about Trump's take, since they're not talking...
Thank you so much for your kindness. The 30% that voted for Harris, and a sizeable amount of the 30% who were turned away at the polls, couldn't afford to miss work, didn't have transportation or didn't bother to vote are working very hard to have him impeached. We've even got some MAGA with us.
Can't believe we rejected the UN resolution and joined Russia. The USA is compromised. The only line of defense now is the judiciary and the military. Unfathomable that any military leader would side with this BS.
I’m waiting for my neighbor to put up his flag that can be seen in my small window in the living room. This year I’ll cover the window with 2 small upside down flags to block out the monstrosity.
***On March 4th, Agent orange is scheduled for a State of the Union address w/congress at 9PM*** WE NEED PEOPLE TO RTO AND HEAD TO OUR NATIONS CAPITAL in MASS on this day. This is a Call for Action. Grab your friends and family, carpool and let’s make our presence known and FELT.
How?
Dem Leaders have proven to be unsuited for the moment.
Trump/GOP rely on Dems being weak.
Biden 2.0

Absolutely feel that way, but the resistance is showing signs of beleaguering 47 and his merry-band-of-autocrats. Keep up the resistance! Thank you Ms. White Vance.
The night of the election, I hung the flag outside our home upside down. The next day I took it down altogether, also because I don’t need T*ump cultists in our neighborhood harassing us. I’ll put the flag back up again when democracy is once again safe and reassured in America.
NO ONE IS ALONE IN THIS! WE ARE FIGHTING NO MATTER WHAT RUMP SAYS! https://Generalstrikeus.com

I really hope you and your kind will succeed in saving the republic. Morons like Trump and Musk are really a great danger to the democratic society in the US. Trump is anti-Europe and turns his back to old friends just to cuddle up with dictators like Putin.

I used to fly the Betsy Ross flag at my 252 year old house. Haven’t flown any flag since 2016 since it is considered a sign of MAGA in my neighborhood and I won’t until tRumpf is dead and buried.
This is a disgusting and disgrace of someone showing our beautiful flag up side down who or whomever this is showing us how they really feel about our country and should be put in jail as an example
I’m a retired Air Force MSgt and I couldn’t agree more. Registered Republican my whole life until Trump. We better wake up or we are going to lose our country.
we go to court, we organise demonstrations, we talk to the complete morons that voted for the neofascists, currently It is the US that sponsors nazi's in Europe (UK, GER).
Please start acting instead of complaining on socials.
Resist, organise.
Brit here. Seems perfectly reasonable to invert the flag when MAGA use it as a shield for their gaslighting. The Trump oligarchy may mean the demise of the 'united' states.
I understand, but two wrongs don't make a right. Thousands and thousands of Americans have died serving that flag. It's not meant to represent a political agenda.
The thousands who served fought for our 1st Amendment rights to peacefully protest. We aren't burning the flag, nor putting them on the ground, we're sending a message.
I would love to hang an upside down flag. I have an HOA and would be forced to remove it. Not to mention my neighbors who would key my car and make my life hell.
Heck, I don't care. They either knock on my door and talk to me personally, at that point I tell them to send me a letter so I have the documentation and then I will take it down.
It infuriates me that Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito’s wife hung a flag upside down when Biden was elected. Our government was not being destroyed like it is now.
Joyce, doesn't see odd with all this "AI" (sarcasm as it's truly is not) you'd think spellchecking and quality grammar interpreters would improve since the mid-nineties.
"If you feel this way, you're not along," could offer two options: alone or wrong. Props for correct contractions.
OK come on now seriously ? never been ashamed until the election ? Please just take a few seconds .. look at our history for the last oh let’s say 200 to 300 years .. slaughter of millions ! of Indians .. millions ! of blacks enslaved ! illegal wars ! I have to say I’m not really proud of all that
Yes - there is much to be ashamed for - but in my lifetime, as an American, I am embarrassed and ashamed of this administration and this president. I was also in 2016, but even tho I was always disgusted by felon45/47, I’ve never felt this way until now. Just saying.
Interesting. I've often been ashamed. We started out as colonisers, then slavers, practised genocide, imprisoned the Japanese during WWII, then there's Jim Crow laws, legal enslavement of black people in the prison system, forced sterilisations, forced births, GITMO, etc etc etc.
Thanks for saying that. I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Still love my country. Still will keep my oath to defend the constitution but feel ashamed at how much and for how long we, as a nation, have failed to live up to the ideals we profess. Is this a national cognitive dissonance?
A few things in the Constitution I wholeheartedly disagree with. One is presidential pardons, another is allowing forced labour (slavery imo) during incarceration. Why do we have gun rights? No other country does, and they're fine. It isn't a moral framework at all.
Yes. I understand your point. I always had hope for us a country. That is no longer true. I am the daughter of a Korean War vet. My father was a Naval Aviator. He was always a patriotic man, and taught us to be so. I think he would be ashamed at what we have become.
I am the son of a Korean War vet. He made 2 combat parachute jumps into North Korea in 1950 and 1951. He would have been livid had he been alive to see Trump salute a North Korean general.
My parents wouldn’t recognize this country my dad fought in WWII. He was shot a few times. But they were liberals. In fact many in my family are military and are Dems. They’re very upset what Trump is doing.
Yes, absolutely of course .. how can anybody ! not see the ridiculousness of that person’s statement about never being so ashamed .. I didn’t see your reply until after I put up mine
Have you ever stepped back and questioned whether there’s something inherently flawed in our constitutional system if we must constantly fight off fascism just to maintain a functioning government?

Isn’t it interesting how they invented the whole concept of “antifa” well before they revealed their full-fledged fascist plan.

This makes sense now!
Whew!
My only complaint about Bsky, it needs editing.
It's difficult for people to admit they were wrong, so many still cling to Trump.
It's easier for them to dislike Musk as they never voted for him.
Of the word - a patriot (not to be confused as a maga)

Its about upsetting GOP cult members
I don’t think it upsets any cult member. Justice alito hung it upside down.

I see it as a sign of great "disrespect".
It has been used that way by MAGA such as Alito and his other.
My flag flies right side up without exception. It's the voters that are upside down and show distress!!
the uneducated uninformed bigots will turn on him quickly. will be interesting to watch their rude awakenings.
pretty sure that is why corrupt cronies are pushing a 3rd 🥉 term
He was anti-trump, suddenly turned buddy.
This love, i'm sure, is very conditional.

Trump is mental
but the “main problem”, 77 million mostly white
and Christian evangelical nationalists
and alt-right types,
“voters” from the rural red hinterland
are “responsible” for Trump’s deconstructing of the American way of life.
The 77 million MAGA voters
is a cultural civil war.

Who drives people to their polling place who are disabled or don't own cars?
Can everyone get a driver's license?
Why do you even need to register to vote if you just bring your id or birth certificate?
There could easily be a real-time federal database
meaning that technically speaking, 50.21% of voters were not voting for trump.
