Twitter has sunk to yet another new low. Twitter has become a perpetrator of misinformation and a key propaganda outlet for the red-green axis, but targets and censors those who expose the global jihad, as well as the advance of Marxism in the West. On Twitter, falsely smearing Christians is acceptable, but telling the truth about jihadists is not.

In January, for example, Twitter locked the account of The Catholic Review, apparently for tweeting an article that described assistant Health and Human Services Secretary Rachel Levine as “a biological man identifying as a transgender woman.”
