Josselyn Berry, the press secretary for Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, has created quite a stir among her colleagues with her most recent Twitter tweet. Berry posted a picture of a lady holding two firearms in protest to “transphobia.” This has raised concerns, especially in light of the recent Nashville tragedy in which a trans school shooter killed six people. The incident calls into question the usage of violent imagery online and the significance of fostering safer and more welcoming communities.
“Us when we see transphobes” the tweet read.

According to Twitter’s policy against violent threats, the image looks to be in violation of the following: “You may not threaten to inflict physical harm on others, which includes (but is not limited to) threatening to kill, torture, sexually assault, or otherwise hurt someone.”
A few well-known accounts, including The Post Millennial and Senior Editor Andy Ngo’s, were suspended by Twitter on Tuesday. Why? They had the audacity to cover the Trans Day of Vengeance, a rallying cry for action organized by Antifa and trans rights organizations, which is scheduled to take place on April 1 in Washington, D.C. One outspoken account that called for violence was unaffected, despite the fact that many of the voices recording the event were muted. What a case of using two standards.
The disturbing information that Berry’s recent words may have incited violence has Twitter ablaze. Conservatives were especially quick to respond, and Charlie Kirk of TPUSA was one among them. Kirk didn’t think twice to take note of the incident. It goes without saying that Berry’s statements have significant ramifications, and many people are unsure of what may happen as a result.

The tweet was still live as of the time of publication:
Professional: Berry’s hostility against police enforcement has long been known, and her most recent remarks simply serve to highlight this divisive position. Citing terrorist and cop-killer Assata Shakur raises serious questions about her beliefs towards violence and justice and emphasizes how contentious the topic is.
