It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Her dress looking like a combination of Palestinian and trans flags is really odd given the context
Besides being known as a spoiler of progressive action in the Senate, notably for voting down $15 minimum wage, Kyrsten Sinema was declared to be the first bisexual congress member.
The colors looks like this flag to me. I'm not sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_fluidity
Yeesh...not all representation is good representation, I guess.
Also I'm not seeing that flag, personally. And in fact, looking at the dress more closely I see there are five colors (black, white, light pink, dark pink, teal) but no repeating pattern. Okay, well technically there's a repeating pattern, but it's quite long (D=dark pink, L=light pink):
In a crop of this photo from Getty
you can see it repeat the first nine colors again, and it just happens that the photo really does capture the last stripe of the dress (confirmed with another Getty photo).
We can also see the colors in a lot higher fidelity compared to the C-SPAN stream which shows that any similarity to
was just an artifact of video compression. I'll admit my eye for color isn't the best, but the light pink and blue seem to unambiguously be the shades from 
. The deep pink looks like the color used in 
to me, but it's missing the shades of purple and blue and that doesn't explain the black stripes at all.
idk why I got so fixated on this...just neurodivergent stuff, I guess
