the flag of Lebanon overlaid by the Pine Tree Flag; the base of the pine tree lies at the center of the bottom red stripe, and its top narrowly reaches the lower border of the top stripe, where the words “AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN” are visible. the Lebanese cedar tree is visible behind the foliage of the pine tree.

which one? #lebanon #pinetreeflag

Wait, We’ve Been Flying the Flag the Alitos Had? San Francisco Takes It Down. Critics slammed Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. after the “Appeal to Heaven” flag was flown outside his vacation home, but it had billowed in the heart of San Francisco for 60 years.

Should have turned it upside down and kept it flying. #sanfrancisco
I’m all for the flag’s original intent - protesting against the #divinerights of kings…or would-be kings.
You’d think someone (Alito) so fixed on claims and arguments of original intent would know better?

My dad was a fan of #AmericanRevolution #flags, before they were stolen by the narrow minded. He’d fly his Gadsden Flag, July 4th, responding to facile patriotism and its global conflicts.
The #PineTreeFlag was new to me. I love its history - original refuted #divineright. 🧵1
