Any pundit who is criticizing Pres. Zelenskyy's attire is failing to read the room, but moreover, they're just completely missing the point.
A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats have no time for suits and neckties.
He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes or epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He's wearing what women and men who are fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine are wearing.
He's wearing the urgency of the moment.
That's the point.
Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

The GOP voted unanimously to cut taxes for billionaires—now they claim outrage that the deficit has grown just as they knew it would.
The GOP has no values. They are power hungry extremists. Please get active, get organized, & vote them out

It's early yet but I am pleasantly surprised by how skeptical Amy Coney Barrett sounds of "independent state legislature" theory—at least as an intelligible doctrine that fed courts can apply consistently. Her q’s for NC legislature are very tough & on-point.
One of weirdest aspects of Moore v. Harper is that NC legis’s argument—and the broader scholarly defense of "independent state legislature" theory—rests in part on fraudulent doc that’sbeen discredited for 100 yrs
USA: President attempts coup. He leaves office and continues grifting and lying and sowing division and is now running for re-election.
PERU: President attempts coup. He's impeached, arrested and thrown in jail.
