The State Department ordered that only U.S. flags be flown at embassies and consulates around the world, a departure from the Biden administration, under which pride and Black Lives Matter flags were sometimes displayed.

Slippery Slope is literally the name of a false rhetoric 😭 that's how you know you're doing something wrong when the very reasoning you use is based on a known logical fallacy lol
I don’t think embassies and consulates, or federal buildings for that matter, should be flying ideological flags. If it is allowed, someone might fly one that you don’t like. That’s a slippery slope in my book.
My feelings being hurt isnt a good enough reason, if a country believes in something, they should fly it. Trump and his cult are free to throw up the Swaztika right now, would be a good warning to everyone else. I may not like it, but Im not soft
Rich* This is not about race, in fact it was never about race. That's a battle they chose for the poor to fight when in fact it was class vs class in the US
News flash: T****ler and his cult of MAGAts 🤮 are b¡gots. Their crusade against inclusion (including DEI) continues. The T****ocaust / Fourth Re¡ch has begun. #Resist #VoteBlue #StopMAGA
this might be a good thing. they'd be flying MAGA and tr*mp flags, not pride or BLM. i am flying pride, BLM, and ukraine with my upside down, currently 1/2 staff, us flag
[Trump is]a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot. He doesn't represent my party. He doesn't represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for... He's the ISIL man of the year.

Trump does represent your party, Lindsey. The rest is spot on.
Full boomer meltdown. Important thing to remember is that Trump would be the dumbest man you've ever met, hes just forced to latch on to all his parasites.
We won’t be one country for much longer. Trump is going to keep pushing the envelope with unconstitutional acts until he provokes a response that he can use as a pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law. That’s when the civil war will officially begin.
Also agree with this. Who decides which flags fly representing what groups? For how long? For which locations? I think our Foreign Service professionals can find better use of time than being flag monitors.
Watch how that order is ignored when the first MAGA Trump flag is hoisted. Or when someone pretends to honour the police by flying one of those blue line flags
(yes, I said “pretend”. You can’t back the blue AND support J6 insurrectionists)
How's cancer research coming along? How about inflation? Cost of living? Ukraine? So, just rolling back civil rights, suing to end citizenship for native Americans, extorting California over disaster aid, releasing neo-nazi rioters, doing a crypto rug pull, twice, and this distraction. Priorities.

This is what has been unfolding in front of our eyes.
Shithole country.
