Saturday my account was locked by Twitter for only the 2nd time in my nearly 10yrs on here. I was locked for a tweet to Marco Rubio responding to his attack on Ilhan Omar. In my tweet I posted an article on domestic terrorism bolstering her claims about white male perpetrators.
My tweet, posted on July 25, had gone viral, with several thousand likes and RTs. Why was I locked for this tweet more than a week later?
Because it was mass reported by anti-Omar, pro-nationalist accounts. Twitter deemed my tweet "hateful conduct." But it was an MSM news story.

I took a screenshot of the report to me, but I fear putting it up because it might trigger another lock. But the term I used --the one deemed "hateful conduct"-- is trending today: #WhiteSupremacistTerrorism. So is #WhiteNationalistTerrorism.
#EnoughIsEnough.
Antifa isn't murdering people. MS-13 isn't gunning down hundreds.
The Trump regime set the stage for these #massshootings.
They have vilified their critics while ending programs that track dangerous, fringe groups.
These ARE #TrumpsTerrorists.

I’ve observed Colorado @SenCoryGardner since his election. What I’ve seen has left me dismayed. Rather than building bipartisan bridges to get things done, Cory became a supine Trump yes-man. There are 1000s reasons he shouldn’t be re-elected. Here are 101: #VoteCoryOut #COsen
#1: Even though he was elected by the narrowest of margins in 2014 in a state that has since voted for Hillary in 2016 & a democratic state govt trifecta in 2018, Cory continues to act as if he has a mandate from the white nationalist alt-right. #VoteCoryOut #cosen
#2: Cory Gardner has consistently voted for the extreme Trump agenda. During the 2019-2020 Congress, he’s voted with Trump over 90% of the time. During Trump’s 1st two years, Cory’s voting record was over 95% in line with Trump. #VoteCoryOut #cosen
