The weirdest part is that this is an American product owned by an American company that has outsourced production.

60% of our imports from China are American products manufactured this way.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 1d

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 18h

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Just rounding people up. A US citizen who says he had his birth certificate with him (!) was still thrown in the back of a truck and detained.

I wonder if he realizes that "Crooked Hillary" is the only reason that guy is president.

They had just elected their first president ever and Obama couped him. The current president was in charge of the military.

Nick Fuentes is a psychotic fascist who openly admires Hitler, denies the Holocaust, and says that rape is "so not a big deal." But you'd never know any of that by reading this simpering GQ profile, which treats him as a kind of edgy internet curiosity rather than a deranged Nazi.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

Imagine a mayoral candidate in metro Atlanta lamenting 300 households getting homes because she preferred... a pickleball court.

"It's unfortunate that we do have 300 apartments now instead of a state of the art pickleball racquet center"

a mayoral candidate talking about 300 households that way is displacing my other thoughts about #SandySprings elections. Read There is No Place for Us by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social . 1/2
