I sure hope this convinces more people to stop using Twitter.

If you leave Twitter, then the Left wins. That is what they want!

In Huxley’s “Brave New World”, words like ‘mother’, ‘father’, ‘son’ and ‘daughter’ were obscenities..............

It’s not a word. It’s two descriptive words. These words describe a real situation that if left uncheck can destroy our sovereign nation. Only a treasonous organization would ban these words.

Most people get their “news” from social media, so us abandoning social media leaves a voting majority alone without us to point out the lies (when we’re allowed to do so if we’re not banned). We must be on social media where the voters are. We can’t hide or just go to mostly unknown social media sites.

I’d rather support FR than Twitter. And at least FR doesn’t allow malicious hackers onto my account.

Good point.. and that is why I was on Twitter.. But then if a person is too lazy to get their news anywhere else, they are probably too lazy to vote.

Gee, how weird of common carrier publisher Twitter to permit US gov’t agency DHS ICE to use the term “illegal alien”, and yet prohibit a conservative think tank from doing similarly...

They need to be fined, broken up and regulated as common carrier publishers, Especially since Twitter, Facebook, Google, already serve as direct communication SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS for Federal, State and local government agencies.

BTW.. I am all for President Trump staying on Twitter.. What he says there is always repeated on regular news.

Maybe we could use the initials AI (Aliens Illegal)
Twitter is filled with uses of “AI,” for “Artificial intelligence”.
Context will let the readers know that AI stands in for “Illegal Aliens’
Maybe Twitter computers will have a harder time trying to sort things out.
