Teen Quinn Simmons has been forced to insist that he is not racist and does not “hate” Donald Trump critics, with cycling team Trek-Segafredo pledging to help him “grow as a person” as part of a grovelling apology for a tweet. 2019 junior champion Simmons faced an immediate backlash after using a black hand emoji to wave at a Trump opponent in a tweet, bidding a virtual farewell to a journalist who had labeled the president “vile” and “horrible” while wishing defeat upon the Republicans in next month’s US presidential election.

Both men have denied any wrongdoing in the case. But the commencement of criminal proceedings has led Infantino’s predecessor to go public with his view on the situation as he called for his successor to be suspended. “For me, […]

Conservative firebrand Stefan Molyneux has had his Twitter account suspended, just a week after he was banned from YouTube. His removal from the platform comes amid a growing debate over free speech on social media.

The popular right-wing pundit and intellectual suggested that he was removed from the platform after promoting a new essay that outlines his values and beliefs. “It’s not hard to understand why […]

Father Theodore Rothrock from St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Carmel, Indiana was suspended this week after his condemnation of the radical Black Lives Matter protest movement. Father Ted made the mistake of comparing Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the other nefarious acolytes of their persuasion to “serpents in the garden” whose “poison is more toxic than any pandemic we have endured.” Father Ted’s sermon is still posted here. Via Lew Rockwell. Several days ago, Eric sent me what he called Father Ted’s “stemwinder” of a sermon from this past Sunday. He knew I’d love it. And I did: it condemned […]

In a tweet, he jokingly congratulated George Floyd on “being drug free for an entire month!” A once common quip that has been made in various forms about many drug addicted celebrities who have passed away, notably including Whitney […]

Twetch positions itself as an alternative to the platform it was deplatformed from, actively marketing itself against the San Francisco firm run by Bitcoin enthusiast Jack Dorsey. Petty said the application maintains censorship resistance by archiving conversations on the BSV blockchain.

In the meantime, Twetch has launched an alternative account and will appeal the decision. If Twetch wins its appeal, Petty said it could be hours to days before the account is back up and running due to cache […]
