This is a really important project. The voters of North Carolina deserve to learn Justice Earls' extraordinary story in advance of her reelection contest this fall. Her victory in November will be key to saving the NC Supreme Court from the grips of a corrupt and ultra-partisan MAGA majority.
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
Justice for the People - The Anita Earls Story
From a humble orphanage to the halls of power, this modern-day civil rights hero defies the odds every time defeat appears inevitable.

Holy shit. HHS says the Africa CDC "is a powerless, fake organization attempting to manufacture credibility by repeating its claims publicly. It is not a reliable source, and its statements should be treated accordingly."
NEW: We're publishing an astonishing outburst the Dep of Health and Human Services left in our inbox.
In an unsolicited email about our coverage of a horrific vaccine experiment, the HHS insisted the Africa CDC was an unreliable source for information, calling it "fake" and "powerless."

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
