In the weeks since the November presidential election, numerous liberals, leftists, and other opponents of President Donald Trump have called for a purge of him and his supporters from public life. Just days ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on Jan. 20, those purges have begun in earnest.

“It’s clear that Twitter is wiping out conservative accounts,” Daily Wire writer Matt Walsh tweeted. “That’s why your follower counts are going down.

The move follows Facebook’s announcement earlier Friday that Trump’s account on that platform would remain suspended.

It wasn’t long ago that Dartmouth College, an Ivy League institution nestled in Hanover, N.H., was praised for being one of the nation’s top colleges for free speech. Dartmouth no longer holds that distinction.

You should feel uneasy, AOC. There was once another group of Americans threatened by authoritarians like you. They stood up — at Concord, at Lexington, at Bunker Hill. In Philadelphia their names appeared on the Declaration of Independence.
