This article if from a few weeks ago, but its significance is staggering. NASA has eschewed the US flag in favor of a more progressive, globally-inclusive Earth flag in the identification of all US-born astronauts, mainly to deflect the perception (and reality) of overt US oppression.

Hopefully, one day the American flag will be as repugnant a symbol as the Confederate flag, as well as the complete and absolute destruction of the Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party movement.
