this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

I think it's underappreciated that most policy support for clean energy under Obama came in exchange for lifting longstanding bipartisan limits on oil and gas exports. This enabled surging oil and gas production, methane emissions from which outweighed CO2 emission reductions from clean energy.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

A @data.ft.com analysis of the “China shock” shows that employment in China’s labor-intensive manufacturing industries has been declining since 2011. Roles in the textile industry alone shrank 40% from 2011-2019. Now, cheaper have factories moved to Vietnam and Indonesia where exports have surged.
