UPDATE 06:42 pm: Never mind. The killer was trans. Marjorie Taylor Greene will be all over that.
UPDATE 03/28/2023:
So much for the claimed "unlocked side door" excuse of gun apologists. Soon we'll have to have schools with no glass windows or doors. Underground bunkers. How about all schools have to be built as underground bunkers? We certainly can't do anything about military grade weapons in the hands of civilians. Underground bunkers. That's the only way to stop the slaughter.
UPDATE 03/28/2023: And there it is...
I didn't know Twitter still had a trust and safety crew.Twitter on Tuesday restricted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) congressional account for seven days after she repeatedly posted an image of a poster about a rally called “Trans Day of Vengeance.”
[...]
Ella Irwin, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, said in a separate tweet that the platform was automatically sweeping to remove images of the poster out of worries it could incite violence.
“We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. ‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest,” Irwin said.
The Hill
If it weren't MTG, I'd say trans genocide could mean what MAGA is doing to trans people. Sort of confusing message.The poster highlights an event on Saturday, April 1 that appears to be organized by Our Rights DC. That Twitter account was locked on Tuesday.
“We need more visibility,” it states, calling on people to gather at the Supreme Court to “stop trans genocide.” The main wording on the poster says “Trans Day of Vengeance.”
She'll be on Fox screaming about that.Greene initially deleted her tweet, and then posted it again voicing frustration about the action from Twitter – along with sharing the poster again, calling on the Department of Justice to investigate.
Twitter again deleted the tweet – prompting yet another tweet and re-post from Greene.
[...]
Twitter then sent Greene a notice saying her account functionality would be reduced for seven days.
It's not now.Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) also posted an image of the poster earlier on Tuesday, which was still live at the time of Greene’s suspension.
Real professional.Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment beyond sending a poop emoji – an automatic response to inquiries sent to its press email address that its new owner Elon Musk recently announced earlier this month.
UPDATE 03/29/2023: And there it is...
It'll be interesting to see who has the bigger lobbying influence: the NRA or the evangelists.
Right on cue and totally despicable...
