    They're being harder on the famed LOLibertarian/Pepsi conservative extremist/pajama boy organization than they were on Trump.

    So much for Twitter being a leftist stronghold; while the left generally has no use for Antifa posing & thuggishness, liberals REALLY hate them.

    There was a time when the ACLU might have come to the defense of an unpopular group like this, but it's not clear this will happen as they themselves have turned so hard Pepsi conservative right.

    Thoughts?

    Liberals hate Antifa? Really?

    The American left has done nothing but coddle Antifa since its inception.

    Thoughts? If you think the ACLU is right-wing, you're not paying attention. They're in full leftist SJW mode, and have been for years now.

    1) nice try saying Liberals hate antifa. They ARE antifa
    2) also them finally enforcing their rules on one of their own does not make Twitter a right wing organization..every once in a while they have to do something nice for the right so when people complain they can be like "see, we do it to them too"
    3) try not to spill that kool-aid

    A refresher for you, from Conservapedia.com.....


    The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a leftist, secular-progressive organization. It was run for its first 30 years by an American named Roger Baldwin, who helped found it in 1920. Baldwin supported communism, but later denounced it in his book, A New Slavery, which condemned "the inhuman communist police state tyranny."[1] This organization pursues a leftist agenda that includes censoring prayer and recognition of God in public institutions, such as public schools. Currently, Anthony Romero is the first openly gay CEO to run the organization. Declassified documents and letters link early ACLU leaders with Communist Party.[2] Helen Chaffee Biehle also indicated in her article "Focus: The Seduction of the American Public Library" that the ACLU was also nihilistic and individualistic in its philosophy since its founding.[3] Even left-leaning figures such as civil libertarian Alan Dershowitz have criticized the ACLU for being a partisan left-wing advocacy group rather than actually defending civil liberties.[4]

    A leaked memo in 2018 showed that the ACLU does not care about defending First Amendment rights and placed SJW causes along with the concern if free speech will hurt "marginalized communities" over actually defending the Constitution.[5] It broke its own rules in 2018 to publicly oppose the confirmation of originalist Judge Brett Kavanaugh.[6]

    Given that Tweeter has likely violated Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and thus lost their immunity from civil liability....and Antifia is now properly labeled a domestic terrorist organization this was a smart move by Tweeter.

    Some are born to greatness and others to drown in misinformation.

    He has other media to address. All are overdue. Facebook is next. Then Reddit. And so on until the left realizes that American politics is always a pendulum swing. It returns with added momentum from being held too long in one place (left OR right). Vengeance ain't pretty, but it is always inevitable. Spank these children. Scare them silly until they grow up.

    Why? He doesn't want this terrorist organization spreading their message of hate, and violence.

    Tweeter was smart to remove them. They would likely not have, had the President not issued the EO

    I think you are putting the art before the horse. First of all Twitter shut down the account for a clear violation of threatening violence. Second this is a brand new account going all the way back to June 1st. Thoughts are that this is not even a true ANIFA account. Third ANIFA is not a true organization in that they have no true organizational leadership to act as a head.s9 who should the ACLU fill suit for.

    If they violated Twitter’s TOS they should be bounced, but Twitter should be leery of their inconsistency enforcing their TOS. It could bite them in the rear.

    Yes. Absolutely.

    Some on the left; liberals (aka Pepsi conservatives) despise their raging little pajama boy splinter group & its consorting with LOLibertarians.

    Love to hate & scapegoat them.

    Liberals hate Antifa almost as much as they hate Trump.

    Ask a conservative about Antifa and you’ll get five minutes of cursing.

    Ask a liberal about Antifa and you get told Antifa is no big deal.

    you're right, letting Trump get away with things others are banned for is not equal application of the TOS for all

    Ask most liberals about Antifa and they'll have no idea what you are talking about

    :roll::roll::roll::roll:

    Meanwhile validation of posts by links to sites runs around 5 ‘leftist” posts validating claims to every one “rightist” post

    Mind you to be fair it would probably be more equal if we discounted the plethora of posts consisting of claims that the other persons point is only “TDS/Orange man bad/Obama/ spit Hillary spit spit”
