Ok, I watched AppHarvest’s rise & fall closely. At the time, I was coaching new greenhouse companies like AppHarvest through their build & first harvests.
All my clients are still in business! And Vance’s one attempt isn’t. There’s a lot to say about why. 🧵#ncpol
Excellent work by CNN to expose and confront the Republican nominee to run NC public schools who called for Obama and Biden to be executed.

CNN's Shimon Prokupecz tracked down the North Carolina Republicans' nominee to run the state's public school system to ask her about her calls online for former President Obama and then-President-elect Biden to be executed.
I am genuinely curious to see if this crosses a line for NC Republican leaders...certainly seems like it one-ups the lieutenant governor's past comments #ncpol

CW: gun violence.
To "combat" gun violence, a N.C sheriff’s department is planning to stock their schools with...more guns.

1st time voters Parsh & Reshmi of Johns Creek, GA narrowly missed the 11/3 Election. “We’d never forgive ourselves if Biden lost GA by 2 votes!” said Reshmi. They registered to vote soon after becoming naturalized citizens to cast their votes for #Warnock & #Ossoff!
