"Liberate" is an interesting choice of term, given the communities in question aren't in Russia's sovereignty.
To be clear, I don't personally have proof of whether the citizenry is broadly thrilled about or terrified of the soldiers in their streets.
I just believe it's journalistic best practice for any case where an army taking part in a war of territorial expansion claims territory to use a neutral term like "control" rather than a biased one like "liberate" or "oppress".
I think those are just running shorts. I see my local university running team - men and women - wearing them for summer runs.
Probably womens running shorts, given its femboys in the meme.

Lenin said that if he were in Britain, he'd vote Labour. Not because he agrees with them, but to show the British people that yes, moving leftwards does make improvements and no, Labour is not doing enough. To show them that a further-left Socialist party is needed.
Accelerationism is a ... choice. It's easier, in my view, to push further left under ineffective neoliberalism than it is under right-wing authoritarianism. What you may view as a chance to get your ideal from the ashes, the fascists view as their chance to put you down for good.
I'm fortunate to live in a state with ranked-choice, where I can literally make a gradient of my preferences for nearly every contested election I vote in.
What I see most frequently is uncontested elections. Vote for the one registered candidate, or write someone in. Most of those have an R next to their name, and dollars to doughnuts a red armband in their closet.
