TL;DR

San Francisco officials removed the historic "Appeal to Heaven" flag from City Hall, citing its co-option by far-right groups, and replaced it with the American flag. The flag, originally a symbol of America's quest for independence, has been associated with the January 6 Capitol insurrection and other far-right movements. Justice Samuel Alito faced scrutiny for displaying the flag at his homes, leading to calls for his recusal from related Supreme Court cases and for a binding code of conduct for justices.
