The suppression and outright censorship at Twitter continues, despite their denials.
The latest is conservative journalist Laura Loomer. She has been "permanently" banned from Twitter and is now considering a lawsuit.

An activist and self-described investigative journalist, Ms. Loomer said she plans to sue Twitter for punting her from the platform Wednesday over a tweet that targeted Ms. Omar, a Somali immigrant and the first Muslim former refugee elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
