Everything Everywhere Daily - A History of Textiles, Fabrics, and Cloth

I would say that there is a very good chance that almost everyone listening to the sound of my voice right now is wearing something made of cloth. 

Cloth, textiles, and fabrics go back a very long way, but despite their ancient origins, not every culture had them. 

Yet, where they existed, they were often some of the most valuable commodities, and they were, in some fashion, used by everyone from rich to poor. 

Learn more about cloth, textiles, and fabrics, their origin, and how they’ve changed throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - Why Former Obama Fundraiser Now Backs Trump

Allison Huynh was a fundraiser for then-Sen. Barack Obama before he was elected president in 2008, but she now supports former President Donald Trump. 


Huynh (pronounced like “win”) and her husband were attracted to Obama’s message of “hope and change” in 2007. 


“It was the hope and the image that he projected” that led Huynh to not only support Obama herself in the 2008 election, but encourage others to do likewise. 

As an entrepreneur and successful computer scientist in Silicon Valley in California, Huynh hosted fundraising dinners for Obama with tickets costing $50,000 a plate. But after Obama won the election and took office in 2009, Huynh says, disillusionment began to set in. 


A Vietnamese immigrant, Huynh says the disillusionment “started with Barack Obama and this lack of logic in terms of how he led,” but it didn't end there. 


Huynh calls diversity, equity, and inclusion “Marxist and doublespeak” because “equity is what you get when you work for something.” 


Equity is not won because of the “color of your skin” or “identity politics,” Huynh contends. “This doesn't make sense. It erodes away from what it is to be an American, right?” 


Asked why she is now supporting Trump, Huynh says that after meeting Trump, she found him “very open” to considering policies that serve tech entrepreneurs like her. 


Huynh joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to share her story of disillusionment with the Democratic Party.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘We Were Once a Family’ examines how the foster care system failed the Hart siblings

In 2018, Jennifer and Sarah Hart drove off a cliff in California, killing themselves and their six adopted children. While much of the media attention focused on the two women, reporter Roxanna Asgarian set off to investigate what had happened to the children's birth families, and why they'd been removed from their care. In today's episode, Asgarian speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about her book, We Were Once a Family, and the ways the foster care and child welfare system in the United States pushed the Hart siblings into an abusive and ultimately fatal situation.
