for telling Ted Cruz he has a punchable face.
I tweeted that to him a couple days ago.
I've said much worse to other people.

(5,125 posts)But I've been banned too.
Something about tRUMP in prison with hands tied and duct tape on his mouth.
Too far. But I had no plans. No duct tape saved up. No zip ties.
Just a small wish for justice and to make him STOP being so destructive.

(6,017 posts)Over the last week or two it's become clear even to mainstream media that Elon is bringing back the worst right wingers, actual Nazi's, hate mongers, sexists, ableists, racists, and so on - while doing a slow purge of leftist accounts.
"Elon Musks Twitter is purging left-wing accounts while boosting far-right trolls: report"

Also, researchers who track such things have also noted in the last few days that many keywords they use to track, count and chart the worst right wing tweets no longer work in Twitter's search bar nor the API used to automate their searches.

I just couldn't take it any more.
The "Twitter Files" were just one big bust.

(8,756 posts)I got suspended 4 years ago for calling Tomi Lauren a Street Lamp Post Appendage 4 years ago. I have not missed a second of my 900 followers. I understand those that stay, we need to be in the fight for truth, but I will not go back. And I stand by my Lauren statement.

(24,414 posts)but I got an account warning on Facebook for quoting a line from ST:TNG that included the phrase "Die". Any Trekkies would probably recognize what line I'm referring to but the FB algorithm apparently did not.

(1,817 posts)Because I pointed out Elise Stefanik supported the PUSSY GRABBER. She was advocating that someone be investigated for sexual harassment. But not Trump.
I added the tape of Trump talking about what he did to women.
I appealed the warning, asked if I was not allowed to quote Trump?
Have not heard back

(9,895 posts)Once for posting to Donald Trump Jr. that I hope his dad stroked out and told him that he was a crushing disappointment as his last words...a little harsh language, but fuck DJTJ sideways with rusted garden tools...
The second was after the Alex Jones verdict when I tweeted that IF Jones is reported to have died from a heart attack (based on his VERY unhealthy appearance) that I would demand to see the body and insure he is not faking his death to get out of the judgment.
Apparently, both cases of wishing ill outcomes on the unhealthy bodies of bloated right wing zealots was too juicy a chance to say "see, we ban anyone for 'threats' was too good to pass up. No matter, seriously Twitter has become the equivalent of the craptacular things kids signed in old time high school yearbooks.
Digital note passing gets far too much publicity for far too little real value (IMO)...

(4,372 posts)for asking Lauren Boebert why she had "not accidentally blown her head off, with all those guns that she owns??"
for that, I was accused of "suggesting suicide"-- which was OBVIOUSLY not what I said....
However, I DID suggest such against some other Republicans as being an "act of patriotism" previously.... lol
(in an other post, I suggested that a GOP notable was a "MAGAt whore".... ??
no suggestion for suicide there...)
I have so many other Twitter accounts, it would have made no difference,
but I only have one that I bother to use, lately.... the rudest one, I suppose! HAHAHA

(51,308 posts)Everyone into this twitter thing seems to want to be suspended.
So everyone tweets childish crap in order to be suspended?
Why? Why not just quit the platform?
I dont get this odd contest people seem to have about being suspended or banned or whatever..
