Don't agree with Cortez on much in terms of politics, but as with so many left wing people who were banned, at the very least "Why" should be answered. #freeAJAC@twitter @jack

I agreed with him on almost nothing politically, but I know why he was banned:

• He was mostly anti-capitalist, which is the main reason anyone on Twitter gets banned.
• He was not beholden to any particular ideology, therefore a threat.
• AJAC didn’t tolerate dumbasses, though he never threatened anyone. He did the worst thing of all: ignored them.

Around 1/3 of the accounts I used to visit are now banned, mostly left-wingers. AJAC was mostly more on the right, but was largely anti-capitalist, as mentioned, so he had to go.
