Ruth Sent Us, the group which posted home address for the six conservative Supreme Court Justices and invited people to protest at their homes on a weekly basis has been permanently banned by Twitter.

Ruth Sent Us first posted the home addresses more than two months ago. As I pointed out at the time, they were using a specific gimmick to create plausible deniability. The addresses listed on their map gave the street name and city. But if you followed a link to their TikTok channel, they had previously posted videos shot at all six of the justices’ homes. In some of the clips, they would walk by a mailbox with the actual house number on it. In others they would simply show what the house looked like. So by combining the map and the videos protesters could find each individual house.

After a would-be assassin showed up at Justice Kavanaugh’s house using information he said he’d found online, the group didn’t even take a day off. The continued hosting protests at the homes of the justices.

More recently, the group helped spread word that Kavanaugh was having dinner at a steak house. Protesters showed up but didn’t accomplish anything except forcing him to leave by a side door. Shut Down DC, a group affiliated with Ruth Sent Us, then offered payments of up to $250 for tips on the location of any conservative justice. That was last Friday and it appears Ruth Sent Us was banned Monday or early Tuesday. One of their allies was begging for help getting them unbanned Tuesday morning.

For the first time, I am begging for RT. We need to get them unbanned. We are ENTITLED to peaceful protests of these SCOTUS Justices! It is our right! Don't let Twitter get away with suppression!

She protected her tweets as I was writing this but here’s a screenshot:

According to another group affiliated with Ruth Sent Us, this is the tweet that got them banned.

Hey @Twitter @TwitterSupport @paraga, #RestoreRuthSentUs!! Examine the tweet(s) you said disclosed public info!! They NEVER tweeted the Justices’ addresses. They never DOXXED them. You’re bowing to right-wing lies.

This is the tweet they banned #RuthSentUs over! @julieklausner pic.twitter.com/jGP2yuiT6I

The number in the tweet is their own hotline. The group’s fans are complaining that since the number itself was theirs they hadn’t doxed anyone’s data. Maybe Twitter just decided to stop playing dumb and recognize that the group was soliciting people to stalk and confront six members of the Supreme Court everywhere they go. Twitter isn’t required to be part of that.

But it’s not just their Twitter account that is gone. The group’s website is also MIA at least at the moment. If you follow the link, it redirects you to a website for one of their allies, WallofMany.org. That group, which may be the same people under another name, focuses on disrupting church services. The Ruth Sent Us Tik Tok account is also promoting this group.

Finally, it seems the police are finally starting to crack down on the protests themselves. Below is a video of a police officer in Maryland explaining that under state law loud disruptions of a quiet neighborhood can lead to an arrest. That means no bullhorns, no loud music, no drums and no sustained shouting. If you’ve seen videos of their previous protests you already know that drums, bullhorns and shouting were heavily featured.

Now: Abortion Rights Activists return in rain to Brett Kavanaugh’s home, continuing their month’s long marathon of protests at SCOTUS homes. @RuthSentUs @OurRightsDC @downrightimp Their story: https://t.co/seYszDafoN pic.twitter.com/TjtJX7DjhW

As I pointed out before, this is basically a group of 10-12 people so I guess they had to do something to make it sound like a big group.

Update: #SCOTUS6 Reproductive rights Activists remain committed to non-violent message; undaunted by today’s incident in Brett Kavanaugh’s neighborhood in which a man was arrested; intend to keep up protests. @downrightimp @OurRightsDC @RuthSentUs https://t.co/seYszDafoN pic.twitter.com/ANGosTGYL2

Here’s the clip of the police officer explaining the noise rules. If they get a complaint from one of the neighbors they’ll have to ask the group to quiet down and if they refuse…At that point the clip cuts off but it seems he’s about to explain they’ll be arrested. This was posted yesterday so it appears to be new.

We’re here at Kavanaugh’s to fight for our basic right to bodily autonomy.

Tonight, Montgomery County Police are telling us we cannot chant, drum, or make any loud noise as we exercise our First Amendment Rights.

Later on, I’ll upload the full talk. #BansOffOurBodies pic.twitter.com/NjXez4iWer

All that to say, the walls seem to be closing in on Ruth Sent Us. For now at least they still have their TikTok site but without Twitter it will be harder to organize protests. Maybe they’ll just melt away and join one of the affiliated groups that are still around. According to the WallofMany website these are their allies: “Wall of Moms, Vigil for Democracy, Ruth Sent Us, Refuse Fascism, Raging Grannies, Resistance SF, Shut Down DC.”
