Why are people talking about flying a flag upside-down? - eviltoast

Today, a bunch of people on my Mastodon feed are making declarations about somebody apparently flying a flag upside down, and this apparently has something to do with the New York Times being terrible.

What happened?

    Justice Alito’s house had a flag upside down, while the Supreme Court is considering Trump’s cases. Flying a flag upside down was what insurrectionists did on Jan 6. Insert your own conclusion.

    *Apparently the flag was in 2021 the days after Jan 6. I thought it was recently but apparently not.
