Anita Earls is the best judge in America. She’s on the ballot this year, and her opponents will try to smear her again. You can help me get her story out there. www.kickstarter.com/projects/206... #ncpol #booksky

The law the board disregarded was one of several passed in 2018 to handicap Justice Anita Earls’ first campaign. I guess the board decided that it doesn’t apply to Republicans. #ncpol 🧵

The NC Supreme Court can be turned into a shield for the working class. With 75% of donations to Anita Earls' campaign being small amounts (below $100), it seems the people are catching on. #ncpol https://bit.ly/49OGDTq

The Supreme Court's first decision, Berk v. Choy, isn't tariffs, but it's an important, unanimous ruling that says Delaware's heightened burden for filing medical malpractice claims does NOT apply in federal court. That's good for plaintiffs and correct IMO. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I miss having courts that actually did something about discrimination against Black voters. #ncpol

So does every generation of writers eventually feel like their job is just reminding people of things everyone used to just know

When the racist meme becomes national policy

“I was doing my job even though it was unpopular,” said Michael Drescher, the former top federal prosecutor in the state for the last year.

Nothing the Supreme Court's conservatives love more than making sure an aggrieved Republican politican gets his day in court

Watch our WCI meeting with guest speaker Justice Anita Earls. She speaks about the importance of the State Supreme Court and her campaign for re election this November. #ncpol #nc #indivisible youtu.be/RLyjpm8uU04?...

WHOA! Excited that Mamdani is paying attention to our recent study about judicial background!!! #LawSky gothamist.com/news/as-mamd...

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

Read the details here. RFK’s Hep B vax “trial” in Guinea-Bissau is not just a Tuskegee-level ethical travesty. It’s also skewed to make the vax (which has been proven to save lives) look unsafe and ineffective. And it funnels money to RFK cronies. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Abolishing ICE is the centrist, patriotic, constitutional, fully rational and de facto position. Supporting ICE is the Nazi position.

🚨BREAKING: As Black students silently protested, Republican state officials denied their request to provide a primary election early voting location at North Carolina A&T State University, the largest of the country’s historically Black colleges and universities.

Since deciding they can’t be bothered to pass a budget, NCGA Republicans have revealed what their priorities actually are: 1) destroying what’s left of our democracy 2) making sure local govs aren’t doing anything to counteract institutional racism 3) making sure SNAP recipients go hungry #ncpol

NC Board of Elections finds Stevens campaign contributions illegal, but not intentional ncnewsline.com/briefs/nc-bo... Story by @kingdollar.bsky.social #ncpol

North Carolina’s elections are being run by partisan Republicans who are making it clear they don’t want certain people to vote. As election officials prepare for the 2026 elections, it’s critical for voters to keep a close eye on local boards, @billycorriher.bsky.social writes.

It appears some of the Republican-controlled boards of elections in our state want to make voting less accessible and convenient for those less likely to vote for them. #ncpol #voting www.wral.com/news/nccapit...

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Too many of us who have spent our lives studying the history racism in this country were dismissed as hyperbolic and hysterical and biased and people who have not studied this history and were willfully blind to the truth of America and been wrong about it all were uplifted as the voices of reason.

I wrote in 2024: Conservatives are using civil rights law to claim that efforts targeted at ameliorating the suffering of Black people illegally discriminate against white people. They have co-opted the rhetoric of colorblindness not to advance racial progress, but to stall it. Or worse, reverse it.

North Carolina Republicans keep using their partisan hold on the judiciary to further politicize the judiciary. Few states have formally partisan judicial elections. North Carolina is the only one that requires same-party appointments to fill vacancies (to thwart the Democratic governor, of course)

The NC Court of Appeals upheld a new law that drastically limits Gov. Stein's power to fill vacancies on appellate courts. This law requires Stein to appoint a judge from a list of 3 lawyers drawn up by the former judge's political party. www.theassemblync.com/wp-content/u... #ncpol

And every election board in NC has a 3-2 GOP majority with a GOP chair, including Durham and Wake. #ncpol

NYT: Trump's appointees to the court of appeals vote for the Trump admin 92% of the time (113 for 12 against)-a much more lopsided split than judges appointed by other Republican Presidents (68% for 32% against) or Democratic Presidents (27% for 73% against). (& he's doing wildly illegal things)

Starting to feel like it's an explicit job requirement for political pundits not to admit the most consequential trend in American politics of the last 40 years.

Utah Republicans took their redistricting fight to the state Supreme Court, asking it to review a ruling blocking their new gerrymander. While a fairer map is in effect, GOP lawmakers have also signaled their desire to reinstate the old map as litigation continues.

As EPA tries to loosen PFAS rules, NC regulators inch toward statewide protections. NC advance measures to cut PFAS and 1,4‑Dioxane discharges. Critics fault state for relying on voluntary compliance and no enforceable limits. (Via Martha Quillin) www.newsobserver.com/news/state/n... #ncpol

If Republicans cared about daycare fraud, they wouldn’t have made a daycare fraudster their last nominee for governor #ncpol

This is a constitutional crisis, and I'm remembering that Amy Coney Barrett, in an interview with Bari Weiss (of all people), claimed that despite her lifetime job interpreting the Constitution, she wouldn't know what a constitutional crisis looks like.

“North Carolina has long expected imprisoned people to shoulder part of the cost of their incarceration,” says a law professor who studies prison labor and revenue.

NC is grateful for dedicated public servants like Justice Anita Earls because we know she will always stand up for the rights of every North Carolinian, no matter the obstacle. We wish her all the best as she continues undergoing treatment for breast cancer. #ncpol

April's race in Wisconsin to replace retiring rightwing Justice Rebecca Bradley is between two very different members of the state Court of Appeals: liberal Chris Taylor and conservative Maria Lazar. In North Carolina, Democratic Justice Anita Earls faces GOP state Rep. Sarah Stevens in November.

NC Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls has cancer, will continue reelection bid The Democratic incumbent seeking reelection to the N.C. Supreme Court in 2026, Justice Anita Earls, said her breast cancer diagnosis won't stop her work on the court or her reelection campaign.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
