  • Aktchually, per Wikipedia:

    The U.S. flag is defined by 4 U.S.C. § 5, executive order and official government standards:

    The flag of the United States for the purpose of this chapter shall be defined according to sections 1 and 2 of this title and Executive Order 10834 issued pursuant thereto.

    Executive Order 10834 Proportions And Sizes Of Flags And Position Of Stars[5] prescribes the design of the flag as well as Federal Specification DDD-F-416F.[6]

    And the referenced specifications are very clear:

    Though I do like their patriotic trans pride flag design. I would love to see a real one flying.













  • Now I want to see how they enforce it.

    Police Chief Kevin Hall, asked Monday what officers would do in response to a 911 call about immigration officers violating the city’s law, was clear: observe, attempt to keep the peace, and otherwise do nothing.

    I used to hike, bike, and trail run solo. It was fun and freeing, but dangerous. After one too many close calls I don’t do that anymore.

    The ideal is to find the right person to go with. Being with someone that you really mesh with, and who moves at the same pace, is 100 times better than going solo.
