Lisa for Denver

X community adds a context note to a user's post: Lisa Calderón, candidate for Denver Mayor, posted a response to another user speaking about the resignation of embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay. The original user posted "'Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist who helped orchestrate the effort, celebrated her departure as a win in his campaign against elite institutions of higher education. On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote 'SCALPED,' as if Gay was a trophy of violence.' She stated "Plagiarism is the new 'scalping' in the right-wing arsenal—a genocidal practice used by colonists posting bounties for Indigenous people. Using violent trophy imagery against a Black woman tells you this was never about plagiarism but reestablishing white supremacy in academia." The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Scalping was done often by Indigenous peoples prior to European contact. jstor.org/stable/25669265 Plagiarism is a breach of rules for Harvard: usingsources.fas.harvard.edu/harvard-plagia… Claudine Gay resigned for a series of breaches of this policy: freebeacon.com/campus/harvard… Application of the plagiarism rules is not about establishing any sort of supremacy. " The label is part of X’s Community Notes system. X users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to posts. X owner Elon Musk shared that any post with a Community Note added to it will be demonetized. The Community Notes account on X also posted that notices will be pushed to users who previously engaged with a post when a Community Note is added to it later.
