We should add actions to the context menu for Twitter messages to be able to block a user / mark a user as spam. Occasionally I get @-messages from people I don't follow with sketchy links and I'd like to do my part to report those people.

The Twitter API documentation is here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1

You may find it useful to look at how follow/unfollow are implemented, e.g.
