First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a socialist.

(34,059 posts)Go to the Farrakhan tweet (make sure it is the Farrakhan tweet - and not the one quoting the Farrakhan tweet).
In the upper right corner of the tweet there is a drop-down arrow for "more." Select "Report Tweet," and just keep answering each screen of questions as they appear. The last screen is a bit confusing, because you have the option to add additional tweets. But to report just this tweet, click the "add 1" button.
Nearly all of the tweets I've reported have been at least temporarily removed. (There has to be an appeal process, since some of them have returned)
Virtually all of them return some form of this message:
Thanks again for letting us know. Our investigation found this account violated the Twitter Rules:
