This is an interesting post, I haven't dug into their documentation or sources so it may be a conspiracy theory, but it was somewhat interesting.

" Interesting interview with
on a few minutes ago about the trans debate. It's interesting how the tide is turning in his favour. I've seen old friends who shunned him admit he has a point but that he was too blunt. Even that would was unthinkable a few years ago"https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1995491771950797148?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw
"'He has a point, but he's too blunt.' From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step. Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?' As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist. Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor."

"The West must very soon recognize that: 1) All immigrants are not equally likely to assimilate; 2) All immigrants are not equally likely to be a net benefit to the host society; 3) All immigrants are not equally likely to be a net existential danger to the host society; 4) All cultures are not equal; 5) All religions are not equal; 6) A religion that seeks to destroy your society, civilization, religious heritage, and freedoms should not receive protection under the First Amendment; 7) You don't owe it to said religion to capitulate in the name of tolerance, compassion, and suicidal empathy; 8) Our freedoms and liberties are being used to erase our existence. It is time to wake up. Every day that passes without the necessary auto-corrections is ensuring that our children and their children will live in a world that is astoundingly darker than anything that the West has ever known."
That the ASPL and global left refuse to acknowledge this could well be disastrous. Why would anyone want immigrants who refuse to assimilate and insist on imposing their culture on the country they immigrate to?

" Immigration isn't complicated. We just pretend it is. Imagine you own a house. Someone knocks on your door and says they want to move in. You'd ask one question: "Why?" If they say "because I love this house and I'll help pay the mortgage" you'd consider it. If they say "because your house is nicer than mine and I want free rent" you'd slam the door. That's immigration policy. It's not complicated. You want to come to America? Here's the deal. Don't hate this country. Don't move here and then spit on the flag that gave you a home. Don't come for a handout. We're not a charity. We're a nation. Learn the language. Learn the customs. Assimilate. Be smart. Build something. Make the neighborhood better than you found it. Your grandkids should feel American. Not like permanent outsiders in a country that gave you a home. Stand with us when things get hard. When there's a war, you fight. When the Olympics come on, you cheer for the red, white, and blue. When the anthem plays, you stand. Not because someone made you. Because you chose this. That's what citizenship means. It's not a passport. It's not paperwork. It's a promise. Most people born here don't even understand the weight of that. You should. We've done this before. Ellis Island. Millions showed up with nothing. Learned English. Built businesses. Raised families. America had the greatest economic boom in human history. Not because we opened the borders. Because we opened them to people who wanted to build. So what went wrong? Milton Friedman said it plain: Americans turned on immigration when we became a welfare state. Not because Americans are hateful. Because the deal changed. Every country on earth gets to choose who comes in. We should be picking the best. Engineers. Doctors. Builders. People other countries are fighting to keep. Not whoever stumbles across the border first. I don't want to hear about compassion when I'm paying full tuition and the guy who moved here last year gets a free ride. I don't want to hear about tolerance when hundreds of millions in federal fraud gets traced back to one community in one state and nobody goes to prison for years. I don't want to explain to my kid why the family down the street doesn't work, doesn't contribute, but somehow has more than we do. That's not immigration. That's looting in broad daylight. And when there's no accountability. When you can't even ask the question without being called a bigot. People stop trusting any of it. That's when it breaks. For everyone. Including the immigrants who did it the right way. Not a single thing on this list is about race. Not a single thing is about where you came from. It's about what you bring. And what you're willing to give back. There are two kinds of immigrants in this country. The ones who came here, bled for it, built something, and made us stronger. And the ones who came here to take. America's door is open. It always has been. But a door that's open to everyone is a door that protects no one. And I'm not sacrificing my kid's future because you're afraid to say that out loud."
