The timing suggests that an automated system was tripped by a deluge of malicious abuse reports.

I'd say that's pretty in character.

If that supposition is even true, Twitter removing a blue check because he publicly supported a union— the initial implication to which I replied— and twitter removing and restoring a blue check because people exploited their abuse reporting system are two very different things.

Yes, and twitter is kind of shit either way - this is being the sole implication I got from the OP.

The timing still undeniably connects the two events and in spite of it likely being due to abuse of their abuse button they still didnt admit that.

Not taking any sides here, but correlation does not equal causation.
