Alt: A GIF from the Broadway Cast/Disney+ aired Hamilton – “Rise Up!”
Hercules Mulligan (portrayed by Okieriete Onaodowan) pumps his arm in the air and shouts “RISE UP!” during this moment in the show, with ensemble dancers dancing in the background.
He is wearing a long blue coat with a white shirt and trousers typical of the American Revolution era, ensemble dancers are dressed similarly: some have shorter blue coats, others are wearing a white vest or white corset.
The text “RISE UP!” appears in all caps at the bottom of the GIF.

Additionally this provides the opportunity to trade Ukrainian real world expertise from the battlefield, and the ability to export weapons to NATO for cash.

Ukraine has contracts to build homegrown solutions in NATO ally countries such as Denmark, Germany, Slovakia and the Netherlands; so if Russia manages to interrupt Ukraine's in-country abilities, facilities in other countries can step up production. This makes production near invulnerable.

Ukraine's military industrial complex already has developed the FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missile, and has a range of 3,000 kilometers (1,900 miles) with a 1,150-kilogram (2,540 lb) warhead and is designed to be hardened against Russian electronic warfare systems.

No arguments here. That indictment fits most of the sitting GOP. Johnson seized the short straw to curry favor in the emperor’s court, and now presides as high priest of the theocratic dumpster fire, stoking its embers while the Republic smolders; the insurrection governs within – Impeach them all.

Do you remember when the satanic panic was just about things such as Dungeons & Dragons or heavy metal lyrics; not a demagogue in Christian cosplay, ushering in an authoritarian, Christofascist, AI-powered surveillance state for the tech-broligarchy?
