If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

There's a lot of data here that debunks ROGD, so you should definitely read it and spread it around. I recently read Littman's study for the purpose of citing where the stereotype of the "young autistic girls who think they're boys" stereotype came from, I'll post excerpts in the replies
NEW ESSAY for Trans Awareness Week! hopefully it will make ppl aware about how bad actors manipulate transgender statistics & that "social contagion/ROGD" are disproven:

remember that pathetic AI video just before Biden dropped out of him jumping and dancing out onto a stage? I think this may be even more pathetic
Trump supporters are also making shitty AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani in the Oval Office.
They don't know how to process what just happened in real life, so they're making the version they prefer with AI.

Some leaked (not verified) info on the puberty blocker trial linked here. In my own thread I will briefly highlight the two key measures they are prioritising. A short thread 1
A Substacker named Ben Ryan tweeted that "the long-awaited UK puberty blocker clinical trial protocol is out."
Shortly thereafter he deleted the post. I can't find a public version of the protocol but here's what I was able to salvage from the screenshot + post.

most of the Republicans who voted for this think Obama, Biden, & Harris are "socialists", whereas the centrist Dems who voted for this think "socialism" refers to anyone to their political left...
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump
