Here is the one hundred nineteenth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is for the first time, is a company: Twitter. They are so honored for the Republican way they are censoring people to protect a twat-grabbing twit.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0527Twit\"Earlier this week, a federal judge ruled that it\u2019s illegal for Donald Trump to block anyone on Twitter, because he uses his account to make presidential announcements to the public. Trump still has yet to abide by this court order. Instead, immediately after this ruling, Twitter began temporarily suspending the accounts of various prominent critics of Donald Trump. Just now, we were informed that Palmer Report has also been temporarily suspended from Twitter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been informed that we can\u2019t tweet, retweet, comment, reply, or in any way communicate with our 169,000 followers until the suspension ends<\/strong>. This is a particularly egregious move on Twitter\u2019s part, as it may give our Twitter followers the false impression that we\u2019ve ceased functioning as a news publication altogether, or that we\u2019ve vanished, which is injurious to both us and our audience.<\/p>\n

For the record, the tweet we\u2019ve been suspended for is clearly not in violation of any Twitter rules or policies. In the several past instances in which Trump supporters have mass-reported our tweets in a coordinated effort at getting us suspended, Twitter has notified us each time that we were not in violation of any rules. The only thing that\u2019s changed here is the judge\u2019s ruling against Trump in a Twitter related matter. It\u2019s clear that as a result of the judge\u2019s ruling, Twitter is now taking steps to protect Trump and silence his critics. This comes even as Twitter continues to refuse to suspend Trump for his numerous blatant violations of its policies<\/strong>. Again, Trump is still refusing to abide by the judge\u2019s ruling, even as Twitter is now inexplicably racing to protect Trump from the judge\u2019s ruling… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I rarely tweet, but after publishing this I plan to tweet a link to this article.  After that, I shall not tweet again as long as Twitter goose steps with the Republican Reich with so much dishonor that they warranted this parade.<\/font><\/p>\n
