Updated: Mar 15
In case you missed it, a Mom-at-Arms article & research led to a whirlwind of controversy in Illinois regarding the Governor, a primary defendant in the Rep Dan Caulkins lawsuit against the IL gun ban, and two now seated IL Supreme Court justices. The story, and some of the ongoing aftermath, here:
Google searching + correct keywords + blogging about findings FTW, right? Well it appears that the highest court in the state isn't too happy about this, as it's official Twitter account is now censoring people leaving comments about the findings:

Both the SAFE-T Act and Caulkins gun ban cases have Governor Pritzker as one of the top listed defendants in both cases, which the IL Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on, which has two new justices in which Pritzker was the largest donor to ($1mil each) which they're now censoring truthful information from easily viewable Twitter users regarding it. What the heck is going on here?!?!?!?!?
And yes, this is the ACTUAL offical account doing this censorship. Go ahead and check for yourself.
