Update:
Just talked to Jesse Kelly about his @Twitter account being suspended/deleted.
He has no idea what happened, he says he never received any messages from Twitter notifying him of any kind of violation of the platform's terms of service.

Wow. @JesseKellyDC was permanently banned per his message to me just now. #FreeJesseKelly pic.twitter.com/4jPLbC7HHq

But Twitter might be investigating:
BREAKING: A Twitter spokesperson told me they were going to look into why Jesse Kelly's account was suspended.
Their official response: "We have nothing to share on this account."

It looks like he had been tweeting about the Confederacy before the suspension, which may explain it:
Defending the confederacy to own the libs. https://t.co/vxHgTKFbjo

Don’t forget to muse about the confederacy.

Okay, first of all, I'm still over here defending bad rock and roll.
Second, men like like Nathan Bedford Forrest – the men who led those Southern boys to war – were rich slaveowners. Your limited point, Jesse, might be strictly true, but it is disingenuous and irrelevant. /1

We’ll keep you posted if/when we found out just what pissed Twitter off this time.
