Opinion

Voices from the two countries and beyond.

OPINION: Texas, Alabama should stop partnership with betting apps on executions

I support capital punishment for the most serious crimes and the unquestionably guilty perpetrators. But I also believe there is a right way and a wrong way to put people to death.

OPINION: US Congress should pass death penalty abolition

With the whirlwind of activity from the U.S. Congress and the Ocasio-Cortez administration in the wake of secession, it’s truly impressive how much progressive policymaking they have managed to accomplish after decades of right-wing obstruction. But as the dust begins to clear and the easy targets are checked off the list, it’s time to talk about the more difficult topics.

OPINION: Ocasio-Cortez should not host state dinner for New Confederate pres.

As someone who was very much in favor of secession, I find it troubling that the same centrist voices who wrung their hands and tried to keep the countries together are now advocating for U.S. President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to host New Confederate President Donald Trump Jr. for a state dinner.

OPINION: US truth and reconciliation commission must be as broad as possible

When U.S. President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ran in 2028, one of her oft-overlooked applause lines was her call for a truth and reconciliation commission to account for the country’s crimes during the Fascist Period. It showed that voters were hungry for accountability and consequences.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: Trump Jr. revoking our access will not affect our reporting

Yesterday afternoon, I received an email informing The Alternate Times that New Confederate President Donald Trump Jr. will no longer allow our reporters access to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Palace, meaning we will not be present for presidential announcements, press conferences, or meetings with heads of state.

OPINION: New Confederacy needs stricter regulations on genital inspectors

While I support our country’s efforts to keep transgender ideology out of our schools and locker rooms, I am growing concerned about the lack of regulation for our genital inspectors.

OPINION: Time for US to get tough on illegal New Confederate immigration

The United States, now more than ever, is a land of opportunity. One where we welcome immigrants from all countries and treat them with dignity. It’s not something we always could say in the past, but I’m proud that our country has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year.

OPINION: Does the New Confederacy need fire codes?

When the New Confederacy formed this year, many of us were excited for an end to the woke ideologies, the socialist policies, and the erosion of freedoms. Yet, there remains a startlingly high degree of government red tape plaguing our country.
