The following day, she responded to a tragic event affecting a university community. On December 14, 2025, Pettersen wrote, “Just devastating. I’m so heartbroken for the families who lost loved ones tonight & for the entire Brown community.

Later on December 14, she commented on an antisemitic incident overseas: “My heart is with the Jewish community in Australia and around the world after this antisemitic attack. At a time when families are lighting Hanukkah candles and celebrating resilience, faith, and light, acts of hate feel especially painful and frightening. Antisemitism has no https://t.co/jdtbv4wTyZ”.
