CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-Following the storming of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday by Trump protesters, Twitter has suspended President Donald Trump's Twitter account until 2023, allegedly because he violated Twitter rules and inciting violence.

Also, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the social media giant was banning Trump indefinitely and for some but not all of the reasons Twitter wants him gone from its social media website, and mainly for inciting violence

The president's Twitter account, before it was deleted on Friday, had approximately 79.5 million followers, though  former president Barack Obama has the most followers at over 127 million, followed by Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Cristiano Ronaldo, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga.

"We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future. We will not be SILENCED!" Trump said.

CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-Ohio Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), a Toledo Democrat whose ninth congressional district extends to Cleveland and the longest serving woman in the U.S. House of Representatives, released the following statement on Thursday calling for the immediate removal of Donald Trump from the office of the presidency following the insurrection he incited at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday that left four protesters and a police officer dead, and that temporarily halted efforts by Congress to certify the electoral college win of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden:

“Donald Trump presents a clear and present danger to the safety and security of this country and should not be in office one hour longer,” said Rep. Kaptur. “I call on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment and for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings.”

Kaptur joins a growing number of Congressional Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who want the president removed from office under the 25th Amendment, or impeached, again, and this time removed from office.

They include U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Cleveland and U.S. Rep Joyce Beatty, a Columbus Democrat.

A popular Democrat and former vice president under former president Barack Obama, the nations's first Black president, Biden unseated Trump in November, winning both the electoral college and the popular vote via an election that has further divided the country along partisan lines, and racial lines.

“The deadly events that transpired yesterday were treasonous acts of insurrection carried out by a mob loyal to and inspired by President Trump," Kaptur said, while also calling for "a swift and thorough investigation of the events."

The federal lawmaker blamed the president for the mob that attempted a coup on the capitol Wednesday, Trump rallying his supporters, who came there in droves to protest the election results and what they say was a tainted election.

Congress confirmed Biden's presidential election victory Thursday morning, after two days of rioting by Trump's supporters, and the radical right.

The congresswoman said that "we must determine how they were able to breach not only into the Capitol complex, but onto the House and Senate floors, and pose a direct threat to the health and safety of members, staff, and Capitol police, as well as violate the capitol complex and architecture and historic elements."

Rep. Kaptur went on to say that "clearly this is what Trump meant when he told the Proud Boys to ‘stand back and standby’ and again yesterday when he urged those in attendance at his rally on the National Mall to march to the capitol.”

Kaptur said she is pleased to align herself with others who are also demanding Trump's immediate removal from office.

"In calling for President Trump’s removal," said Kaptur. "I am aligning myself with a growing number of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, as well as national organizations including the National Association of Manufacturers, who understand how critical the rule of law – rather than mob rule – is to maintaining our precious liberty.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is the highest ranking member of the U.S. senate who has joined Pelosi and Congressional Democrats in demanding Trump's immediate ouster as president.

Biden is set to be inaugurated on Jan 20.

COLUMBUS, Ohio– Amid opposition from Democrats and Black leaders and Civil Rights organizations, Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine on Monday signed into law, a controversial bill pushed by Republican state lawmakers that amends and expands a previous "stand your ground" law adopted by lawmakers in 2008.

Senate Bill 175 eliminates the “duty to retreat” in a car or home  before using force in self-defense that was required via the 2008 law and expands the places upon which a civilian can use a firearm or other deadly force to hurt or kill somebody in self defense.

The governor said he signed the GOP bill under pressure, and with reservations.

“It is vital that law-abiding citizens have the right to legally protect themselves when confronted with a life-threatening situation,” DeWine said in a press release on Monday.

Ohio is the 36th state to pass "stand your ground" legislation that eliminates the duty to retreat before hurting or killing someone in self defense.

The NAACP,  Black leaders, and anti-gun violence advocates, and even some prosecutors have consistently opposed "stand your ground" measures as bad policy, if not outright racist.
