The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.
Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.
"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

I have to agree completely.
I'd also like to add about the Electoral College that the angry Hillary voters keep bringing up: that's the system we have in this country, like it or not. And this isn't the first time the EC has burned the Dems: the exact same thing happened in 2000 with Al Gore. So what did the Democratic Party do about this? Did they attempt to pass a Constitutional Amendment to change the system when they had power? Hell no. So shut the fuck up about the EC! If you're really mad about the EC, then fix it, don't whine about it. But I never see the Dems make any moves to reform it, or to fix the elections in any way (such as getting away from First Past The Post).
