Yes, yes... let's cover it all up since it doesn't fit the narrative and keep the facade of victim status going on.

Twitter Bans Federalist CEO Sean Davis For Reporting On ‘Trans Day Of Vengeance’ Following Nashville Shooting

 

Federalist CEO Sean Davis was locked out of his Twitter account Tuesday night for factually reporting on the “Trans Day Of Vengeance” following the deaths of three children and three staff members at a Christian school in Tennessee at the hands of a transgender shooter. 

“The cold-blooded mass murder at a Christian school in Nashville by an apparent transgender person came just days before a planned ‘Trans Day Of Vengeance’ organized by the Trans Radical Activist Network,” wrote Davis. 

According to Twitter, Davis’ objectively true tweet violates the app’s rules “against violent speech.” Twitter has already deleted the tweet but informed Davis his account will remain locked until he manually deletes it as well. Davis, however, is refusing to participate in Twitter’s Orwellian re-education exercise.

“This is deliberate censorship and gaslighting designed to memory-hole the FACT that the Nashville shooter targeted and murdered Christian children and teachers just days ahead of a scheduled ‘Trans Day of Vengeance,’” Davis wrote in a statement. “Twitter is lying about the facts and defaming those of us who reported on them.”

 

Davis is not the only one to be censored on Tuesday. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Daily Wire journalist Luke Rosiak were also punished for reporting on the “Trans Day Of Vengeance.” 

According to Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, Twitter had to “automatically sweep our platform and remove >5000 tweets /retweets of [the ‘Trans Day of Vengeance’] poster.”

Davis didn’t share the poster with his statement, however. He linked to a Daily Wire news story about the topic that included the poster as part of its good journalism.

“We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them,” Irwin continued. “‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok.” 

How Davis’ objective reporting on a planned event was “incit[ing] violence” remains unclear. Twitter has taken a different tack against real violent threats on its website, however. On Monday, the press secretary for Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs tweeted out a GIF of a woman gearing up to shoot pistols with the caption, “Us when we see transphobes,” a tweet Twitter initially allowed. Twitter later removed it from the platform, but the press secretary’s account appears still to be active.

Irwin also stated the reason the “Trans Day of Vengeance” poster wasn’t removed from Twitter earlier is that “The graphic was reported by a high number of users across our platform yesterday” thanks to “the tragic events in Nashville.”

One user asked if Irwin stopped to consider whether the “complaints” were “coming from the ‘Trans Day Of Vengeance’ supporters who didn’t want a living record of their calls for violence and vengeance after the Tennessee shooting.” Irwin did not respond. 

Early Wednesday morning, Twitter rejected Davis’ appeal to reinstate his account, meaning he is permanently banned from accessing it unless he deletes the factually true tweet that Twitter already deleted.

It was until all the woke companies pulled their advertisements.  Now they're coming back under the condition that certain things can't be said on the platform.

Figures.

It's a good thing I am nowhere near a social platform that's not a sports platform.

How about THIS banning?

Marjorie Taylor Greene's Congressional Twitter Account Suspended for 'Vengeance' Post
The right-wing lawmaker's account was restricted after she shared an image claiming antifa was planning a day of violence.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) congressional Twitter account was temporarily suspended on Tuesday for her “vengeance” post in the wake of the Nashville school shooting. Greene posted a screenshot of the notice informing her that the account is suspended for seven days citing she was in violation of Twitter’s violent speech rules.

Greene had posted a poster image about a rally due to take place in Washington, D.C. on Saturday and wrote in a post that has since been removed, “Antifa is organizing a Trans Day of Vengeance.” She tied the rally to the recent shooting at a Nashville Christian school that left three children and three adults dead, including the shooter who police later identified as a 28-year-old who was assigned female at birth and used “male pronouns” on social media.

Twitter was forced to remove the post several times after Greene continued to upload the image, and Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, said in a tweet on the platform that the company works to remove all posts inciting violence and had already removed more than 5,000 retweets of the poster amidst concerns that it would incite violence. She added, “We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. ‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok.”

The poster focuses on an April 1 event organized by Our Rights DC and the Trans Radical Activist Network to protest anti-trans legislation and continued violence against transgender people in the U.S. The poster was phrased as a call to action, stating, “We need more visibility” and promoted the rally at the Supreme Court to “stop trans genocide.”

Greene responded to the suspension, writing, “My Congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa, who is organizing a call for violence called ‘Trans Day of Vengeance,’ The day after the mass murder of children by a trans shooter.” The groups say the rally has no connection to the shooting and are “horrified” and “outraged” by the shooting at the school.

“Vengeance means fighting back with vehemence. We are fighting against false narratives, criminalization, and eradication of our existence,” the groups said in a joint statement. “It is also a call to our allies to stand up and fight with us to bring down the forces that try to divide and subjugate us all.”

Following the shooting, the Congresswoman also posed the question, “How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking?” in an effort to take any blame or focus away from guns.

 

Greene has been a vocal opponent of transgender rights. In her first year in office, she co-sponsored a bill to ban U.S. embassies from flying the LGBTQ+ pride flag and last year she supported banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors. She said earlier this month that she plans to reintroduce the proposal.

Greene’s account has also previously been suspended for violating Twitter’s covid-19 misinformation policy by posting about vaccines and for her false claims of election fraud following the 2020 presidential election.

She made valid points, but unfortunately her remarks weren't made in the spirit of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity.

She's never made a valid point one time. She's the biggest laughing stock in Congress, next to Santos, except her bullshit is a real threat

Maybe you should take a stand and make your voice be heard.

Out of curiosity, are we going to call the buffalo shooting the "white supremacist day of vengeance"? 

I'm just wondering how that works.
