    Elon Musk is shadow banning conservatives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not really, but one bombastic member of congress got her account restricted over violent rhetoric.

    Unsurprisingly, it was Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she was posting about some rally with a rather ugly word in the title, vengeance.

    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.”

    Greene tweeted about the event after three children and three adults were killed in a shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tenn. Police say that the suspect in that shooting, who was killed during the incident, identified as transgender.

    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 over 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 poster highlights an event scheduled for April 1 that appears to be organized by Our Rights DC. That group’s Twitter account, which has a little more than a thousand followers and describes itself as an “autonomous community sustaining direct action to demand accountability for injustice,” was locked on Tuesday.

    You mean when she posted the actual event?
    'Trans Day of Vengeance' protest continues as planned following Nashville shooting
    WASHINGTON (TND) — Critics are questioning a transgender activist group's upcoming "Trans Day of Vengeance" protest, which is expected to go on as planned despite coming just days after a trans person walked into a Tennessee Christian school and killed six people, including three children.

    Despite pushback, including Twitter removing social media posts promoting the event, it appears the "Trans Day of Vengeance" event is still slated for Saturday morning in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.

    The event is being organized by the Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN),

    I guess its not ok to show people on twitter whats going on, but the actual event is just fine.

    I'm getting a vibe that the Nashville shooter's unreleased manifesto has something to do with transgenderism.

    Why, is he in charge of your post now?
    You thought a thread about taking down a post on twitter from a conservative about Trans Day of Vengeance was more thread worthy than the actual event right after children being murdered by a Trans?
    Kind of says it all. Doesn't it.

    Twitter is in the wrong.

    Freedom of information includes speech which brings awareness to violent political rhetoric.

    The left here wants to focus on MTG, or twitter, and ignores the real problem. Typical.
