Indeed.

Winston Churchill at the White House wearing a one-piece garment known as a siren suit.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

YouTube video by Kyiv Independent Zelensky thanks America for four minutes straight

Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war.

We compiled instances where Zelensky has publicly expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership for being Ukraine’s largest supporter.

Thinking today of Benjamin Franklin, who wore an old suit (and no wig) before the king and court of France, to represent his nation—while it was fighting for its existence

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize?

I think we have a winner.

If you feel unsafe doing this, fly a Star Wars Rebellion Alliance flag instead—just tell people you’re a fan of Star Wars. ;)

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE.

DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Some Of Trump's Unrelenting Attacks Are Having A Surprisingly Positive Effect “I really want to send him an organizing award,” a federal union leader joked of the new president.

Trump's attacks on federal workers have led to a surge in union signups, according to AFGE. The union's goal was to hit 325K members by end of 2025 but they might hit it by end of this week.

“I really want to send him an organizing award,” union prez says of Trump.

Trump has dismissed the director of the Office of Government Ethics. David Huitema, the former director, played a key role in vetting Trump administration appointees for conflicts of interest.

Same boat! I’m making sure they know I am their problem :D

Even though my reps are Republicans, I am still sending something to them about Musk every day. I may be just a mosquito in their ear but if there's a hoard of mosquitos, maybe they'll start listening.

Two thoughts:

1) all these people are spineless jellyfish enablers, and

2) this is the kind of crack in the dam you see as pressure starts to build

Let's keep it up
