Controversy Surrounding Nashville Shooting and Trans Activism.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs' press secretary, Josselyn Berry, resigned after posting a controversial tweet that appeared to encourage gun violence just hours after a mass shooting at an elementary school in Tennessee. The tweet featured a screencap of the 1980s film "Gloria" with a woman holding two guns with the caption reading; "Us when we see transphobes." Critics, primarily those from the conservative branches of the Arizona legislature, called the tweet disturbing and highly inappropriate. Twitter removed the post, with a notice saying that Berry had violated the platform's rules.
