We share the following from WIRED magazine’s June 17 politics column, written by Vittoria Elliotta and Leah Feiger, about a far-right flag with the popular symbol for Christian nationalists and other fringe-right ideologies that was carried by January 6 rioters and was raised in early June over the Small Business Administration building in Washington, DC. According to the magazine, “On June 11, Kelly Loeffler, the former senator from Georgia and current administrator of the SBA, participated in a ceremony where a new flag of the United States was raised over the agency’s headquarters. Just beneath that flag, on what appeared to be the same halyard, was an APPEAL TO HEAVEN flag, which was often flown during the American Revolution” but has since been adopted by Christian nationalists, the Proud Boys, and some factions of the QAnon crowd. Sources told WIRED that the APPEAL TO HEAVEN flag was raised for less than a day.
