Young people are open about voting based on “vibes.” They are not informed on, nor are interested, in policy. It’s a popularity contest. It’s about proximity to their favorite celebrities and the “good feels” they get believing they’re voting for social progress.

“The dnc was like a class that got a pizza party in school while the rnc took a test”

“the RNC honestly could’ve been an email”

A new investigation by @realchrisrufo and me examines Charleroi, a small town that has seen an influx of migrants under Biden, whose admin has funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into immigration NGOs, while local businesses capitalize on the availability of cheap labor. 🧵 Image
Charleroi had just over 4,000 residents in 2020. Then, over a few years, ~2,000 predominantly Haitian migrants moved in, establishing businesses downtown. Strained schools are hiring translators. Car crashes, some into buildings, are also causing concern.
The original citizens of Charleroi argue that, instead of revitalizing the community, resources are being redirected to new arrivals who undercut wages, drive up rents, and haven’t assimilated. Worst of all, they say, there was no vote—migration just happened.

🚨: Tim Walz is celebrated by the left as a "champion of children" for policies claimed to benefit Minnesota youth.

But in May, he signed into law the most radical child welfare reform bill in the U.S., marking the most dangerous application of DEI principles to date. 🧵Image
Walz's law, the African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act, is a method to enforce racial equity by lowering the standards for removing children from homes where they may have been neglected or abused—based on factors like race.Image
Activists have zeroed in on child welfare, where black children are overrepresented, claiming racial disparities are due to "institutional racism." Some radicals wish to "abolish" foster care altogether, which they call the "family policing system." upendmovement.org/framework/

The distress young people feel is real, but it is being misattributed to a trans-identity. Trans-identified youth often have severe emotional and behavioral issues, similar to the “troubled teen” experience, a term that was used to describe me as a teen.🧵
Studies showing that trans-identified teens frequently present to psychiatric hospitals and the ER with severe emotional and behavioral issues are common. They often have eating disorders, psychiatric disorders, autistic traits, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm.

When I was 15 in 2004, I had depression, anorexia, OCD, and many psych hospitalizations + ER visits for suicide attempts and self-harm—these are among the ways I expressed the pain I was in. Today, trans-identification in youth and young adults can be another expression of pain.

This exchange between @JoyAnnReid and @realchrisrufo in 2021 was a turning point for me. Watching it live, I remember the anger I felt seeing her gaslighting and refusing to let Rufo finish a sentence. Until then, I had viewed the mainstream media in a positive light. 🧵
I was mostly apolitical until 2020, voting Democrat in every election since 18. I hadn’t looked into many issues deeply because I trusted what mainstream media told me. Before this exchange, I naively believed they were committed to objectivity and truth.
But in early 2021, I began seeing cracks in mainstream media narratives. I had observed the concepts of critical race theory in K-12 education, despite being repeatedly told it wasn't happening. It would be another year before journalists would even acknowledge it. Image

The concept of innate gender identity is used to justify medically transitioning children. Here’s why it’s pseudoscience 🧵

I review the biology chapter of @jack_turban's new book, which claims "transness has an innate biological basis."Image
Biological factors are associated with being transgender, but being transgender itself is not an inherent condition one is born with.

The studies seeking to discover a biological basis for trans are discovering evidence of gender nonconformity and interpreting it as trans.
Gender nonconformity encompasses preferences, behaviors, and physical traits that deviate from what is considered typical for males and females.

Today, "transgender" is widely used as an umbrella term that is conflated with common gender nonconformity. realityslaststand.com/p/the-transgen…

Stop calling “gender-affirming care” for minors “medically necessary” and “evidence-based”

Those words have meaning!

I explain in this thread🧵
Writing is my preferred form of communication because it allows me to be precise with my language so that I am not misunderstood.

Which is why it infuriates me when trusted authorities misrepresent youth medical transition as “medically necessary” and “evidence-based.”
In March, @jessesingal wrote about the stock sentence used in at least 35 separate articles on CNN since 2022.
