My argument is simple: people who say they want to see a return of American manufacturing don't actually vote with their dollar. Let me show you. 🧵
@dieworkwear Based on your logic we should just give up local manufacturing and send everything overseas because child labor is cheaper than US labor? That we don’t need to manufacture anything locally? That’s quite a ignorant argument How come every other country has protectionism?

6 years at @hm has come to an (unexpected) end. We achieved some fantastic #decarbonisation results, drove #electrification innovation, and helped push the whole garment industry to remove #coal and #fossilfuels

alternative pathways were/are feasible for this transmission line. Cambodia’s few remaining protected forests are home to hardwood species that fetch a high market value. This project gives access to harvest that wood. @geraldrflynn shine the light! https://t.co/m8BM6oUezK

Trump wins the White House. Again. The Democrats blew it. Again. A depressing yet predictable result.

Biden should go all out on climate for the next 75 days. Declare a climate emergency. Get all the IRA money out the door. Permit new transmission lines. Stop new LNG exports. Ban drilling on public lands. Make a mountain of progress for Trump to try and undo.

Presidents do not have to be saints, and we hope that a second term for Donald Trump would avoid disaster. But he poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world. If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Kamala Harris https://t.co/IPE9qsnp9D

“National traitors must be wiped out.” This kind of language should be strongly criticised. The student groups are now becoming part of the the problem, rather than part of the solution. Very depressing. They are banding around the term "facistic" to describe and delegitimise
Extraordinary - and I hope I am wrong - but it seems that #Bangladesh's Anti-Discrimination Student Movement is justifying the attack on the Jatiya party offices. Not sure that "Anti-Discrimination" is the right way to describe this group anymore. As they say, "How heroes fall."
