This is why having manufacturing on national soil matters bigly. You need nimble responsiveness and you can only get that with local factories. Now the question: where’s the material made?

USA used to be a textile manufacturing powerhouse. Much of that has gone overseas due to lower labor costs.
We are still quite good at some things though: high tech knits (this is why USA made socks (VT & NC mostly) are so awesome) & performance fabrics like Polartec fleece (MA)
Fast fashion + globalization killed a lot of US textile and clothing manufacturing. jec.senate.gov/public/index.c…
I am quite passionate about this topic, I’ve been a home sewer since my mom taught me how to use her sewing machine when I was in 3rd grade. Her 1978 made in USA Kenmore is still going strong. My ~2010 made in China Kenmore...isn’t.

“...it is ridiculous that the country with the longest border with China has no cases.”
@911CORLEBRA777 @thespybrief
Authoritarian states have been downplaying numbers. That won’t last. foreignpolicy.com/2020/03/20/cen…
“Central Asian states are sandwiched between the outbreak hot spots of Iran and China, but on paper, COVID-19 has barely touched Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. That might seem like a miracle. In reality, it’s cause for concern.”
I would expect these Central Asian nations are going to be absolutely fucking pissed at CCP for failing so hard at containment, and for failing to warn the globe what was coming. Does that make them more likely to lean into Putin? @thespybrief

#NOW: Hundreds have taken to the Capitol steps demanding witnesses be allowed to testify in the Senate’s impeachment trial. Three warnings from the Capitol police are up and arrests are about to start. Leading them is Rev. William Barber.

#SwarmTheCapitol
The view from up top before the cops declared an unlawful assembly. Might be the first time I’ve seen an impeachment-related protest fill the whole approach to the Capitol’s east lawn. Though only a few dozen are risking arrest, the rest backed off.

#SwarmTheCapitol
Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution (aka the impeachment process) in gigantic banner form, unfurled in the shadow of the Capitol rotunda - and quickly seized by the police.

now do the rest of the cop cars.
the police department spokesperson told a local paper in august of this year that the car was acquired “well before august 2017.” today’s press release says it was purchased five months AFTER august 2017.

cops, and their spokesmen, lie.
this is an important point. i was not the first to notice, complain, or write publicly about this car.

Kicking off day 3 in Rosario. Today we are looking at issues of waste management in Rosario & developing our research strategy for urbanisinginplace.org exploring #urban #agroecology in London, Rosario, Riga & Brussels. Follow this #thread to find out about today’s
activities!
In Rosario there is a source separated municipal waste system. But the organic waste fraction is often contaminated and not to produce compost fit for agroecological farmers
They are therefore focusing on identifying and securing appropriate waste resources and capturing them before they enter the waste stream
