I believe that one time is a fluke, and two or more times is a pattern. There is a systematic play afoot to silence Black journalists. It is intentional. You have to ask yourself why, and by whom. Follow along with me in this thread.
Back in April, @ministter of @MakeItPlain was initially suspended and then left @SIRIUSXM altogether. An incident occurred involving someone who identifies as A D O S. Some believe that group has ties to those who want to influence the 2020 election.

Around the same time, @MalcolmNance was silenced at @msnbc. Malcolm has been extremely vocal about those who want to influence the 2020 election. The hashtag #WhereIsMalcolmNance was created if you want to dive in further there.
Let’s remember that @rolandsmartin’s daily show, #NewsOneNow, was not renewed by @tvonetv. Roland’s Show was the ONLY daily show that provided news and info from an African American lens. He talked about issues others just weren’t covering.
Just this week, @DeeTwoCents announced that she will also no longer be on @SXMProgress. Danielle has been outspoken for months about those who may try to influence the 2020 election.
Now this observation from @yashar: @JoyAnnReid still has @amjoyshow on @msnbc, but she’s been relatively silent for weeks on social media. @MalcolmNance has been a mainstay on her show. She’s been critical of those who want to influence the 2020 election.
I need y’all to see what’s happening. Hard hitting Black journalists who have the courage to shine a light on efforts to influence the 2020 election are being silenced or marginalized. The question is: what are we going to do to support them? Talk to the networks. Ask questions.
~@DeeTwoCents posted this article making the connection between @SIRIUSXM and Trump. Later THAT SAME DAY, she announced she will no longer be on ANY Sirius platforms. That doesn’t feel like a coincidence to me. @SXMProgress #WokeAF
