The United States is a country that is truly in distress. I offer the following proposal. On this first Independence Day under President Trump, people of conscience and true patriots should fly the American flag upside down, as a collective signal of our national distress.
This would signal that the United States is a country where the president is not above the law.
This would signal that Donald Trump does not represent the majority of American people.
This would signal that many Americans do not view Donald Trump as a legitimate president.

Even if I am ambivalent about flying a US flag, one can never go wrong with Snoopy and Woodstock! LOL
