YouTuber and Former Congressional Candidate Joey Salads Permanently Banned From Twitter
Salads gained a massive following on social media for videos running pranks on unsuspecting strangers.
Right-wing YouTuber Joey Saladino, better known as “Joey Salads” has been banned from Twitter for allegedly violating the platform’s “spam policies.”
People had been reporting Salads content calling the coronavirus a “hoax,” but had been informed by Twitter that his tweets didn’t violate their rules.
“For the last four months my reply plug tweets have been getting reported. Every time, Twitter says that I did not violate the Terms of Service,” Salads told the District Herald. “I was banned for breaking Terms of Service that they specifically told me that I was not breaking.”
A “reply plug,” Salads explained, is when you reply to yourself on popular tweets asking people to follow him and subscribe to his podcast.
“I had been doing it for six months, maybe more,” Salads said. “Maybe they thought I was using a bot like the Krassensteins.”
The Krassenstein brothers, prominent leftist activists, were banned from Twitter in May of last year.
“The Twitter Rules apply to everyone,” a Twitter rep said in a statement to Variety about their ban. “Operating multiple fake accounts and purchasing account interactions are strictly prohibited. Engaging in these behaviors will result in permanent suspension from the service.”
After this article was published, Brian Krassenstein reached out to the District Herald saying “we weren’t banned for using bots. Twitter never gave an official reason for our banning, instead supplying the media with a rule, but not specifying that we broke it. They did the same for Salads. We were banned, but we never used bots, manipulated their service or bought any sort of engagement. We did have multiple accounts for various reasons, but Twitter’s TOS does not have a rule against such use.”
In an email to Salads, Twitter said that “you may not use Twitter’s services in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people’s experience on Twitter.”
Twitter said that his ban is permanent and that they will also ban any account he attempts to make in the future.
Salads gained a massive following on social media for his comedic YouTube videos running pranks on unsuspecting strangers.
Saladino was the first prominent YouTuber to run for office in the United States. He has nearly 2.5 million followers on YouTube and Facebook, as well as nearly 300,000 followers on Twitter. His work gets over one billion views on social media per year.

Black Lives Matter Extremists Cover Former Home of Chauvin Defense Witness With Animal Blood, Leave Severed Pig Head on Doorstep
The former home of Barry Brodd, who testified as a witness for Derek Chauvin’s defense, was covered with animal blood and a severed pig’s head was left on their front porch on Saturday morning.
The former home of Barry Brodd, who testified as a witness for Derek Chauvin’s defense, was covered with animal blood and a severed pig’s head was left on their front porch on Saturday morning.
Brodd no longer lives at the Santa Rose home that was attacked.
Brodd testified last week that police were justified in keeping George Floyd pinned because he kept struggling.
The new family that lives there called the police when they were awakened by the group of black clad individuals outside their home shortly after 3 a.m.
Law enforcement believes that the individuals thought that Brodd still lived there.
Santa Rosa Police say 45 minutes later a hand statue at the plaza mall was vandalized w/blood and a sign saying “Oink Oink”. The substance is believed to be animal blood.

“Because Mr. Brodd no longer lives in the city of Santa Rosa, it appears the victim was falsely targeted,” police said in a news release.
Santa Rosa Police Chief Rainer Navarro through Brodd under the bus on April 13, issuing a statement saying “Mr. Brodd’s comments do not reflect the values and beliefs of the Santa Rosa Police Department.”
Approximatey 45 minutes after the home was vandalized, a hand statue in front of the Santa Rosa Plaza mall was also splattered with animal blood. The vandals, who match the description of the people who attacked the home, left a sign with a pig on it that read “oink oink.” The statue has no apparent message related to the trial, as it is dedicated to immigrant agricultural workers.
Damage to the residence exceeded $400, making the attack a felony, according to a report from KPIX.
Anyone who witnessed or has information about the attack is encouraged to contact SRPD through their online Tip Line: http://www.srcity.org/CrimeTips.

Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Buys $1.4 Million Compound in Extremely White California Neighborhood
Black Lives may matter to her, but she apparently does not want to live near them.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors has purchased a $1.4 million compound in Topanga Canyon — an area with barely any black people.
The 37-year-old social justice warrior will definitely not have to worry about any of the riots she helps to stoke while tucked away in the ritzy upscale neighborhood.
The racial makeup of Topanga is 7,313 (88.2%) White (84.5% Non-Hispanic White), 117 (1.4%) African American, 35 (0.4%) Native American, 353 (4.3%) Asian, 3 (0.0%) Pacific Islander, 125 (1.5%) from other races, and 343 (4.1%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 534 persons (6.4%).

“Kahn-Cullors, a UCLA and USC graduate married about five years ago to social activist (and amateur boxer) Janaya Khan, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto, created the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag in 2013 in response to George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin,” the Dirt reports. “Since then, the largely decentralized movement has been at the influential forefront on issues of police brutality and racially motivated violence against Black people, particularly in the wake of George Floyd’s killing last summer that sparked massive protests across the United States and around the globe. Kahn-Cullors’ published ‘When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir’ in 2018.”
According to the real estate website The Dirt, the home is a “winding 15 minute drive from The Commons at Calabasas and a slightly longer and somewat less serpentine drive from Malibu’s Getty Villa, the pint-sized compound spans about one-quarter of an acre. The property’s not-quite 2,400 square feet is divided between the a three-bedroom and two-bath main house and a separate one-bed/one-bath apartment capable of hosting guests long term with a private entry and a living room with kitchenette.”
“Interior spaces feature bamboo floors and, in the spacious open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen, vaulted ceilings clad in knotty pine. A whitewashed raised hearth brick fireplace anchors the living room and numerous skylights baths the cavernous space with natural light.”
