@ProPublica I personally offered you my evidence of ongoing geoengineering over NYC and you declined to even look at it. So is this post simply a lie or something more nefarious?
@ProPublica
Streisand the hell out of them.
@ProPublica excellent reporting but I couldn't fi wish it. Made me so angry. Cheating in the name of the Lord!
@ProPublica This is exactly why I subscribe.
@ProPublica sweet Christ on a cracker, I can only aspire to receive such a warning some day. That’s how you know you’re doing good work
@ProPublica yay, North Carolina was mentioned :D
@ProPublica if I could donate even more to you guys I would! Keep up the good fight!!
I would make so much hay over that threat. I mean certainly whatever jihad should never be discussed because it’s totally outrageous, right? Honestly, if you can beat them into making a big public stink about it I think it would be hilarious.
@ProPublica When someone with suspicious motives tells me not to do something, I take it as a challenge.
Investigate and keep them pissed off.
From @ProPublica
"North Carolina’s Supreme Court... had outlawed partisan #gerrymandering in the swing state. Over Newby’s vehement dissent...
In January — once two newly elected #Republican justices were sworn in, giving the party a 5-2 majority — #GOP lawmakers quickly filed a petition...
Newby then wrote a majority opinion declaring that #partisan gerrymandering was legal"

@ProPublica Not the cool Matt Mercer
@ProPublica ....turbo-boost this!!
That's actually a little boy panicking and screaming "I'm tellin' Daddy!"
@ProPublica get some dignifying any comments!
https://www.propublica.org/article/paul-newby-north-carolina-supreme-court
"Behind the closed door…he set aside decades of institutional precedent by not gathering the court’s seven justices to debate the legislature’s request in person, as chief justices had historically done…
…Justice Phil Berger Jr., Newby’s right-hand man and presumed heir on the court, circulated a draft of a special order agreeing to the rehearing…Berger’s accompanying message made clear there would be no debate…giving them just over 24 hours to respond."
@ProPublica Yeah, and strongly “suggest”. I can’t wait to hear the whole story.
@ProPublica These crazy religious nutjobs need to be forcibly dragged from their offices and kicked to the curb. They're everythjng wrong with my state my country. Dumb as shit, openly flaunting laws, and treating every kind of pushback as discrimination and all the while demonizing the public education that would otherwise expose them for the liars and idiots they are.
@ProPublica Love that questions asked about a judge are being fielded by a party communications manager. They've abandoned all pretenses
@ProPublica until this practice is revoked repealed, repaired, #Maryland can't afford to lose the race to the bottom for more Gerrymandering
