Think of all the brave protest movements against violent and totalitarian governments in history. The civil rights heroes who fought for American equality, particularly in the South. The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto. The democracy advocates slaughtered at Tiananmen Square. For example.

Ah, the brave, brave journalists of the Washington press corps. They have for many decades gathered on a Saturday in April for the White House Correspondents Dinner. Dressed in their rented Mens Wearhouse finery, they would nibble canapés while mingling with whatever Hollywood celebrities were lending the dinner a touch of the cool kids imprimatur. There is a reason why the event was affectionately nicknamed Nerd Prom.
The pocket squares and pins and other items were reportedly designed by Jake Tapper, possibly the most Beltway of Beltway reporters, and you can buy them yourself with a donation to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
