Twitter Restricts Flynn Attorney’s Account. Sidney Powell Responds.
Updated
As the fight for Lt. General Michael Flynn’s case comes closer to vindication, Twitter has decided to restrict his lawyer Sidney Powell’s account for “unusual activity.”
The account of @GenFlynn's attorney, Ms. Sydney Powell (@SidneyPowell1), has been 'temporarily restricted'. Can you please explain why? We are publishing a story on this, and would appreciate your comments for the record. pic.twitter.com/VS9x5gXEMv

Powell later responded exclusively to Twitter’s action on “The Sara Carter Show” Monday.
“I woke up to that this morning,” Powell said. “I think I’ve gotten that resolved now. I actually went on a Twitter rampage yesterday to stand up for America, to stand up for honesty, for respect, for decency, to protect our statues and our culture, to protect our freedoms, individual property rights, everything that America was built on. And that’s what comes of it?
She continued, “We also destroyed the New York Times article that came out yesterday. That was a bunch of abject lies about our case and how we conducted it. Molly McCann, my associate, did a brilliant rebuttal of that on Twitter, and of course, I retweeted that so I don’t know. I also tweeted that black lives matter is a Marxist organization, which you can see by the video of their founder.”
“It’s not something I made up and anything, any group that seeks to rule by mob and destroy anything in this country, any property and he statue anything,” Powell explained. “I mean, I was raised that you don’t touch property that isn’t yours. Whether it’s a laptop left on a seat in an airport or whatever, you pick it up and you turn it in the lost and found. But you do not do anything the harm, anyone else’s property or public property. And those who do should be severely punished immediately. We’ve got to restore American respect for other people’s property and persons.”
Twitter reinstated Powell’s account several hours after this report was first published. Twitter hasn’t responded to SaraACarter.com’s request for comment. The story will be updated if there is a response.

BREAKING: Disney drops suit challenging special district status in settlement with Florida, DeSantis
A settlement was reached Wednesday in the two-year lawsuit over who controls the special governing district that encompasses the Walt Disney World Resort, which includes Disney dropping its lawsuitsagainst a newly created tourism board.
“We are glad that Disney has dropped its lawsuits against the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and conceded that their last-minute development agreements are null, void, and unenforceable,” Bryan Griffin, DeSantis’ communications director, said in a statement. “No corporation should be its own government. Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.”
Fox News explains the dispute began “after Disney’s criticism of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act – derided by critics as the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill – prompted the DeSantis administration to revoke the special Disney-controlled tax district that gave the entertainment autonomy over its theme parks in the region.”
“No corporation should be its own government,” Bryan Griffin, a spokesman for the governor, said in an emailed statement. “Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.”
Misleadingly deemed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, prohibited the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity to young students in the state. National Review reports:
After receiving pressure from employees, Disney’s then-CEO, Bob Chapek, said that the company’s leaders had been opposed to the bill “from the outset,” and Disney declared that the legislation “should never have passed and should never have been signed into law.”
In February 2023, DeSantis signed House Bill 9B, which established the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District to replace Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. Reedy Creek was a 56-year-old special taxing district that allowed Disney control its own development, regulations, building codes, and other municipal services.
Lawmakers voted to give the governor the power to appoint the district’s board members.
However, before a DeSantis-appointed board took over last March, the Disney-controlled board handed control of the district’s development over to Disney…
…As part of the settlement, Disney acknowledges that the development agreement approved by the outgoing Reedy Creek board has “no legal effect or enforceability.”
As for the media reports that DeSantis had been humiliated and out-maneuvered by Disney, Griffin said that “as usual, the media were wrong.”
