X runs ‘timeline takeover’ ad promoting anti-trans film

Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”

You know how when you think of something so pungent you can kinda smell it? Well, I just smelled your comment.

Like day 2 roadkill in the summer, right?

I just realized I had no clue what her assigned gender was. Probably says something about the media I consume.

Don't worry, it's completely acceptable that you neither know about nor care about a billionaire's daughter.

Downvote Musk spam.

The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.

The film purports to feature young people who sought gender affirming care, but now regret doing so.

This isn't anti-trans

Out of context, on its own, it wouldn't be. But if you look at who is pushing it, that changes the picture.

Despite pushback from some users

Well there's your problem. You're still using the fascist platform.

Any active user who "pushes back" in an attempt to "fix" the fascist platform is either delusional or being disingenuous. There's no fixing it, guys. Just walk away.

Imo the best pushback is to leave and make twitter irrelevant

Anyone who hasn't moved on to mastodon at this point is a clown.

This is a good time to remind people one of his kids is trans. What utter garbage he's turned out to be.

norbert ,

One of his dozen kids with a dozen different women is trans and wouldn't come out to him because he's a piece of shit. He called her a communist and blamed schools.

Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.

We've got it blocked at our router. The DNS server just responds with no such address.

Hijacking twitter DNS queries and redirecting to a page that only serves images of cats.

Can we please just stop talking about the clown in command, and his dogshit bigoted platform?
