In a development that parallels the experience of Alexander Finnegan—the communist who became a target for the FBI’s “counter-terrorism” stalking efforts due to his countering the Ukraine narrative—another individual has been revealed as a victim of such unconstitutional state intimidation. The person behind a Twitter account called “Islam, America, Liberty” was recently asked about why they had vanished from the internet for almost half a year, and this was how the exchange
I have been banned from all social media due to my anti imperialism and anti capitalism. I don’t know for sure if I am on a list but I completely suspect it. One doesn’t need the FBI showing up at their door to chill speech, one simply needs the US government, owned by corporations, with the corporations doing the governments bidding to silence speech without that pesky first amendment getting in the way of speech they don’t like. After all, social media is ‘private business’ and not the public square despite it acting like a modern day public square and the revolving door between the alphabet agencies and the tech companies.
It's amazing, no, that smart, established (whatever that means) folk like myself can't just say, "Yes, I support resistence to Israel's occupation and want the walls of that open air concentration camp to be blown apart, and if it has to be the Nat Turner option -- what brings people, a generations living under lockdown to rage, that is not the question for the priviledged -- then so be it."

As the smoke rose from 6221 Osage Avenue, Philadelphia residents watched through their windows or television screens in a state of stunned disbelief. Their city had just bombed its own people.
On the evening of May 13, 1985, longstanding tensions between MOVE, a black liberation group, and the Philadelphia Police Department erupted horrifically. That night, the city of Philadelphia dropped a satchel bomb, a demolition device typically used in combat, laced with Tovex and C-4 explosives on the MOVE organization, who were living in a West Philadelphia rowhome known to be occupied by men, women, and children. It went up in unextinguished flames. Eleven people were killed, including five children and the founder of the organization. Sixty-one homes were destroyed, and more than 250 citizens were left homeless.
