Weird election night in North Carolina. Trump won, as did Republican judges. But at the same time Democrats won every major executive branch race (governor, AG, superintendent of schools), the only competitive US House race, and even broke the GOP supermajority in the legislature
@JosephineLukito Hi Jo! I'm a producer for Endless Thread at WBUR, and wondering if we could connect for an episode I'm working on. (More than a concept of an episode!). I'm at gtatter at bu dot edu. Thanks!
It was super cool to chat about a variety of #Africa#China topics (and bad assumptions) with the good folks of @Endless_Thread! Many thanks to @gracetatter for the invitation! Tune in and take a listen! https://t.co/R9rz3L79qT
“Taxpayers are buying firearms that are then resold for pennies on the dollar and ultimately ending up in criminals’ hands.” An investigation a long time coming from @AlainStephens and @teamtrace https://t.co/FQb3t6gkPv
Logging back on here to say that I was one of the people laid off yesterday. I am so proud of the work we did at @NerdettePodcast and we hope to find it a new home. In the meantime, I'm a soup to nuts producer looking for new opportunities

This week, @GraceTatter finished TWO marathons: Philadelphia 🏃♀️ and... "The Gun Machine," an 8-part podcast series on the history of the guns in America. HUGE congrats to her, and to host @AlainStephens, who leaves it all on the field in both information and emotion. (1 of 2)
NEW: @ATFHQ is supposed to regulate the gun industry and protect the American public from gun crime. But the agency often falls short of that mandate.
