So, What Got Me Suspended By Twitter, Anyway?
My last post celebrated an event that I was beginning to think would never come: the re-activation of my “permanently suspended” @realMadSquid Twitter account. As only one such reactivation out of four Mad Squid Productions® accounts that Twitter has surreptitiously suspended for vague reasons, it’s not a complete victory. But it is a major battle won. So, I wrote about it.
But now I want to take a closer look at the three tweets that Twitter claims were the cause of my suspension in in the first place. How do I know that these tweets were the offending tweets? Because Twitter told me so. When I stumbled back into my newly reactivated account, quite by accident, they cited these three tweets as my offending posts, and required that I delete them before I would be returned to full functionality.
I obliged, begrudgingly, because if anything is made clear by these three tweets, it’s just exactly how biased Twitter was being against the LEFT when applying suspensions, and therefore also when addressing appeals. My @realMadSquid account was suspended for over two years for the following three tweets. Have a look at them, and then I’ll see you again on the other side of the images for some further analysis:
As you can clearly see from tweet 1 of 3, I was replying to someone who was being hateful and targeting abuse against me! Notice that they ignored @donrondel berating me and hounding me about how I’m supposedly a Socialist, and that I don’t understand my military service or my government. So, I got a little bit snippy, and pointed out my education, and my belief in the lack of education on the part of my debate opponent.
His violations of the Twitter TOS apparently didn’t matter. Like, at all. Because this was enough for Twitter to silence my veteran owned small business. The right wing radical gets a pass, and the left wing, college educated, decorated veteran just goes away.
It’s also worth noting that when I did finally receive my reactivation, I was missing at least 2,000 followers who were following my count at the time of my suspension.

MUSKolini Strikes Again!
We already know that Elon Musk was lying when he announced a “general amnesty” on Twitter. Liberal veterans like myself have still not been restored. All 4 of my veteran owned business accounts are still suspended, in spite of the so called “amnesty:”
The amnesty was a lie. Musk continues to silence veterans like me. And now he has silenced journalists for no reason. Elon shall forever be known as MUSKolini!

Twitter Refuses Veteran Amnesty, Dishonestly Suspends 5th Account for Referring to Democratic Process
Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk was not just lying about amnesty for the accounts of veterans like me who vote Democrat. He is still allowing his staff to discriminate against me by LYING about my tweets… AGAIN!
How is this abusive?

Twitter Tolerates Racism, Silences Veterans (AGAIN), in 24-hour Period After Musk Takeover
It’s not news that Elon Musk took ownership of Twitter yesterday. But the impacts of what that means are likely not visible to all Americans. And that’s exactly how Twitter has always wanted it. Anyone who expected this to improve under Musk’s ‘guidance’ was fooling themselves. Elon made it PAINFULLY obvious that he and Twitter are willing to allow racists and NAZIs to flood the platform with the N***** word and pro Hitler memes and tweets, but NOT willing to allow a DECORATED VETERAN WHO, AS A CONSTITUENT, IS UNHAPPY WITH THE SHITTY, SHITTY, SHITTY JOB THAT LAUREN BOEBERT IS DOING in her district, to say so.
You don’t have to look for long to see what I mean. Reports of racist and pro-NAZI tweets flooded the internet last night. Here are just a few:
Elon Musk and Twitter allowed the racism and the NAZIsm to permeate and remain on the platform for hours. Some reports suggest that a few of those tweets ARE STILL UP AND LIVE on Musk’s new Fascist toy at this time! Meanwhile, DECORATED VETERANS with legitimate concerns about how THEIR CONGRESSWOMAN IN COLORADO’S THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT is harming veterans and INTENTIONALLY FAILING to represent Democrats in her district, were IMMEDIATELY FLAGGED as violating the “hatred” policy.
Here is my tweet, which earned me a 12-hour ban. Even though I’m a constituent. Even though I’m a veteran. Twitter, and Elon Musk, felt that it was more important to allow RACISTS and NAZIs to have free speech, but SILENCED veterans like me who dared to speak up. This was my response to Boebert’s idiotic whining rant about the diesel fuel supply:
Telling Lauren Boebert to go “SIT ON A CACTUS,” an OBVIOUS bit of sarcasm, was somehow MORE HATEFUL than all of the ‘Heil Bitchler’ and N-word hate, vitriol, and VIOLENCE that spilled forth from right wing accounts. The mere fact that I’m NOT a Republican makes me a threat to them. Never mind their ACTUAL VIOLENCE.
Please, share this post. Put this on BLAST! Elon Musk MUST NOT GET AWAY WITH THE NAZIFICATION OF TWITTER!!!!!! Or America, for that matter. Help me fight back!!!
