tbh UVA kids doin’ this sit-in, they ain’t just makin’ a point, they’re making HISTORY. Takes serious balls to stand up against those in power, especially if it’s your own school.
Trump said he made it illegal with one year in jail.
Burning the flag is the accepted way to “retire” an old worn flag. The Boy Scouts do it in a ceremony and have for decades. He doesn’t know that, no one will tell him and he does what he wants. He says it, thinks it law and on to the next thing.
Rights are meant to protect unpopular things. Period.
I’d never burn a flag. I hurts me to see one. It shouldn’t be a crime to do it.

This veteran 1000% supports their right to burn some flags.
This veteran and Hokie by (family) proxy PROUDLY supports these brave students.
Much like every previous time in American history, the young bear the responsibility to fight for the future while the old lecture them about “not doing it the right way” while doing nothing.
The group is called “Friends Against Fascism Organization”, or FAFO for short.
Vet and cop here, 100% support this.
Good, the racist and blood thirsty pedophile capitalists are trying to destroy the country, we are allowed to voice our disgust at their brazen heresy against humanity.
I wish they wouldn’t burn the flag – it just plays right into the hands of the right wing nationalists. Guaranteed it’ll be played on Fox News non-stop for weeks. Not saying it should be a crime, just saying it’s counter-productive to us ridding ourselves of this regime.
I support their right to protest!
Keep in mind flag burning is a protected first amendment right no matter what MAGA dopes try to lie and claim. Just don’t steal flags that belong to other people.
It’s time to start breaking the law.
Awesome. Fucking awesome. Good on you UVA kids for showing the country how to tell Trump and his gang of fascists to suck it in a legal and acceptable way.
We should organize voodoo dolls torture and burning events! Fat Trump, Baby Vance in a dress, KKK Miller and Hegseth in pink camo suit.
Burn the Confederate flag
I will not click on Fox News. But did find out their group is called Friends Against Fascism Organization
Good! I’ve been so disappointed in this generation of young adults. Not many attend protests—I’m unusually one of the youngest in my 40s—and no antiestablishment music.
Burn some Trump flags
That’s my school 🥹
It’s protected speech backed by precedent (in case that still means anything) so Trump and his crew can go fuck themselves.
Steal some Trump flags off of some lifted trucks and burn those
Their acronym is literally FAFO.
Fox News trying to stir shit up as usual, no mention of any of the desecration Trump supporters have done to the flag, which is their right.
Hokie here. Go ‘Hoos! We support you <3
I was thinking of doing this in front of the ICE office and see how they react
The way you defeat injustice is by forcibly and publicly confronting it. Disobey with passion
An appropriate song that is even more relevant today than it was when Bob Dylan wrote it in the 1960’s
**The Times They Are A-Changin”** by Bob Dylan
Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
And you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin’
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
Combat Vet and true patriot here. I support your right to burn the flag. Anyone who doesn’t support this right is an uneducated patriot poser.
I am anti fascist.
Good
Trump doesn’t know that laws are made in the Legislative Branch, not the Executive.
Exactly what he wanted.
Create rage in the Left to distract from Epstein.
They walked right into it.
The trump regime is synonymous with Fascist so… Wouldn’t it be more effective to burn a Nazi flag? The optics are much better & everyone knows what/who you are talking about.
