For the good of the country, Donald Trump should drop out the 2024 presidential race.

Donald Trump Should Drop Out | Washington Monthlywashingtonmonthly.com We’ve had months of calls for Joe Biden to drop out because of middling poll numbers. The grounds for a Trump withdrawal are far firmer.

Reminder: Sure, the student protestors turned out to be right about Vietnam, and gay rights, and apartheid, and the Latin American dirty wars, and the invasion of Iraq -- but *this time* they are cluelessly naive and only protesting to look cool to their friends.

This week, as we celebrate South Carolina's victory and the elevated interest in women's college basketball, I revisit the racist attacks against the Utah women's team in Idaho two weeks ago and why we can't let racist harassment and attacks continue. open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...

I always sound like “Old Man on the Internet” when I try to explain to the youth how wonderful RSS is. I’ve used Feedly for years. If you want to read a wide array of sources, with no ads, with complete control and little algorithmic weighting, and stay well informed, then RSS is what you want.

Subscriber RSS feeds for news sites should be a thing, but they haven’t been. @404media.co is working on it, and their work should benefit other Ghost sites. Such a cool solution. (A shoutout to FeedPress which has long made me stop missing FeedBurner.) www.404media.co/404-media-no...

404 Media Now Has a Full Text RSS Feedwww.404media.co We paid for the development of full text RSS feeds for Ghost-based publishers. Now we can offer them to our paid subscribers, and other Ghost sites can use the service too.

Since we can use unlikely hypotheticals as standing in Texas, who wants to be my lawyer to sue the state for my right to an abortion in accordance with my Jewish faith?

Two tidbits: -The father suing says his daughters have never tried and have no intention of trying to get contraceptives from a title x clinic, but somehow the case still has standing -his lawyer is the architect of SB 8–texas' abortion ban

BECAUSE (say it with me, kids): Abortion bans are not only a violation of the 14th Amendment, but the 1st Amendment as well. You cannot enshrine one specific religious perspective into law and impose it upon an entire diverse nation of people.

A lawsuit by three Jewish women seeking to overturn Kentucky’s laws banning abortions has gained more attention since in vitro fertilization clinics in Alabama shut down after a state Supreme Court ruling in that state.

When conservatives talk about taking America back to a lost golden age, I didn’t realize they wanted polio too

This weekend I spent more time than I should have talking about Taylor Lorenz. On Assigned this morning, Alyssa Steinsiek is asking people (including me) to refocus on the queer students who are telling their stories about the school Nex Benedict attended before his death.

Listen to Owasso Students, Not Chaya Raichik or Taylor Lorenz — Assignedwww.assignedmedia.org Arguing about who’s platforming Chaya Raichik is a distraction from the voices we desperately need to hear from after the death of Nex Benedict, those of young people at Owasso's public schools.

LGBT rights? It's about liberty, for them to live their lives. Abortion? About liberty, and the right for women to decide. Migrants? It's also about liberty. Ukraine? That too is about liberty and letting them decide their future. On all of these issues, Rs are opposed to liberty. Frame it that way
