I don't know if it's related but many Democrats were disturbed to see so many flags from other countries during the totally peaceful protests in Los Angeles so the word went out to display American flags at future protests. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...-reaction.html

We had a WW II vet speak at our local No Kings rally today. He spoke out against our current administration and current threat to America's democracy. It was very moving. And despite a heavy downpour, no one left the demonstration. Lovely to see multi generations there.
peaceful, easy feeling

ETA.. Seems very strange that some of you are surprised by carrying of American flags by protesters. We are Americans why wouldn’t we carry the flag? The protest is against the hitler wanna be in charge… not against our country!
The reason why Americans are “upset “when they see Mexican flags waved at protests is simple:
“ The United States fundamentally hates Mexicans.” So that’s it, so glad this L.A. Times columnist told us truth.

there are many sources talking about “reclaiming the American flag” for the Trump protests. Here is one not behind a paywall.

That's funny. I was standing next to a guy carrying and waving a HUGE flag and he said that we had to "reclaim the flag" and he pointed to my sign and said "that's what it is, right there." Here's my sign. I had a Trump No Kings message on the other side.

Excellent! I like your sign and like seeing the American flag used at these protests. I think it’s a dumb idea of the Left that they had to “reclaim” it since it never left them, they chose to ignore it apparently. Or something.
I agree! how asinine.
Great turnout on Orcas Island today on our Village Green. I counted ~400 people, which is 7.3% of our year-round population. Lots of good music, good speeches, and good company. And since the Farmer's Market had just been in the same space shortly before, lots of good food.
The high school graduation was at the same time, down the street, which probably reduced the numbers(*). Luckily, after the graduation there was a parade down our main street, so the folks at the protest simply had to turn around and walk a few steps to see the wonderful graduation parade!
(*) San Juan Island, which has a bit larger of a population than my island, and serves as our County Seat, had about 14% of its year-round population show up. I think we had better music though.
