X is the megaphone of 21st century fascism and authoritariansim. It has poisoned public debate. It is a tool for bullying, abuse, and assault. X needs to disappear from our discourse. When people and institutions post there, it gives X credibility. It keeps it relevant. It's time to stop.

Politics runs on attention, and immigration supporters often care less about it than opponents. My new paper in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social tries to address this gap.
