Distress Flag II (Black), 2025 by Julie Mecoli

4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

Unfortunately, we are in those times. Extreme danger to life and property is being perpetrated by the US government on our watch. Time to amplify the distress and to act to rebuild democracy.
