This is in response to Twitter recently suspending Antifa militants because of their child exploitation and violent threats.
Biden’s DOJ needs to mobilize against these domestic terrorists. A fan wrote: "Antifa in Portland are organizing arson attacks on
Tesla locations. I stand 100% with Elon Musk. Does the White House still deny that Antifa is a terrorist organization?"
On Thursday, Twitter owner Elon Musk called for people on the social media platform to reply if users see any issues that need to be addressed. "Removing child exploitation is priority #1. Please reply in comments if you see anything that Twitter needs to address," the early Thursday morning tweet read.
In response, The Post Millennial’s editor-at-large Andy Ngo noted the large number of Twitter accounts used by Antifa members and groups to incite violence that remain unbanned.
"A large number of Antifa accounts operate on Twitter to promote riots, give tips on how to commit violent crimes and post names, photos and addresses of targets plus their family members," Ngo wrote.
"Incitement to violence will result in account suspension, Musk stated.
In response, Ngo wrote, "How do we best inform Twitter of these violations? I’ve been reporting on specific accounts for years & pretty much all of them remain. Last year Antifa used Twitter to direct comrades to swarm me after I ran into a hotel following a violent street beating."

"That is a disturbing story and very concerning that Twitter took no action, despite clear violation of [Terms of Service]. Report in this thread for now," Musk replied.
Comments on the thread included a number of users noting known Antifa members who have engaged in or incited violence.
"Thank you for your attention," Ngo wrote. "I’ll continue to raise these issues here thoughtfully. Countless journalists, law enforcement officers, businesses & proprieties have been attacked through violent extremist organizing & incitement on Twitter.
Ngo noted the collective CrimethInc, which "makes riot guides, texts to radicalize people into criminal militancy, & propaganda that is shared via Twitter for people to distribute. They’ve claimed a number of attacks & give instructions on how to form cells, what riot gear to bring, etc."
Though Hacker was partially masked, I recognized him right away. Our paths had crossed before: In May 2019, he confronted, assaulted and robbed me at a gym in northeast Portland. Two and a half years later, in October 2021, he was indicted by a Multnomah County grand jury for felony robbery against me. His criminal case is still pending.
But that night, Hacker’s question signaled to me that Antifa had grown suspicious of me. I was undercover again, dressed head-to-toe in black like the Antifa militants around me. As before, I knew it was extremely dangerous to be on the streets.
After two city blocks, I made it to the front of the hotel lobby doors — but they were locked. Behind me now was the group of Antifa. And they surrounded me. “Why don’t you take off your mask?” one of them asked. I didn’t respond.
Suddenly, one of the Antifa forcefully grabbed at my face. In one swift motion, he pulled off my goggles and mask. “It’s Andy! Get him! Get him!” he screamed as I took off sprinting for my life. They pursued me, and one was so close I could hear him breathing.
