Main takeaway from the big #handsOFF protest in Manhattan today: overwhelmingly older white people. Like in 2003, they are going to portray it as pierced tattooed young rabble but it was not that at all.
Older white protesters holding signs saying "give us our democracy back," "the only immigrant destroying America is musk!" and "hands off science!!!" Protesters on fifth Avenue. Science  visible include "fuck Trump" and "dictators are a danger to us all"Older woman in a nifty yellow fisherman's rain hat holding up a sign saying "do not bow to the fascists"Protester bundled up against the rain holding a sign saying "Congress do your job"

Zelensky owns a suit, and he looks damn good in it. Because he has a decent tailor. And he's in really great physical condition. He actually IS young and vigorous. He doesn't need a suit to be a leader. Clothes definitely don't make the man.
