open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... Almost by definition, stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment. But of course, America can no longer be reasonably viewed as a stable democracy.

open.substack.com/pub/charlies... If an unfriendly foreign power was attempting to dismantle American science — and put a generational brain drain on fast-forward —we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, our government is doing this to us.

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... The citizens of Canada and Australia recently proved that they are capable of self-government. Faced with a Trumpist threat, these modern, advanced democracies repulsed it. Overwhelmingly.

open.substack.com/pub/lincolns... Following news of the company helping the Trump administration in immigration enforcement and deportations, Silicon Valley investors and civil rights organizations are accusing Palantir of "building the infrastructure of the police state.”

www.threads.com/@bulwarkonli... Yes he did share this on his propaganda app. There is something seriously wrong with him and with anyone who thinks he should be president still.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...? Democrats, more people like the Illinois governor, please.

open.substack.com/pub/populari... President Trump has invited virtually anyone, including foreign governments, government contractors, and people under federal criminal investigation, to compete to see who can personally enrich Trump the most.

open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl... It will be an inaudible, wordless act of war for our nation’s survival. The second Civil War is here, and it’s being waged in silence.

open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup... Multiple countries now have travel warnings against the United States, including Canada, France, Denmark, Germany, Finland, the UK, the Netherlands, and Portugal.

A touching Easter message from the felon and rapist in chief of the United states.

If you are not out in the streets, what are you waiting for?

"No free man shall be seized, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, exiled, or ruined in any way ... except by the lawful judgement of his peers and the law of the land." — Magna Carta 1215

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... “You gotta build about five more places,” Trump told the Salvadoran dictator, so that he would have enough space in his maximum-security prison system to house the U.S. citizens—you read that right: U.S. citizens—Trump wants to send him.

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... Russia, almost alone among nations, is entirely exempt from Trump’s tariffs. If Donald Trump were an actual Russian sleeper agent, a formal Kremlin asset, I cannot think of anything he would be doing differently.

Capitalism and democracy are compatible only if capitalism is subservient to democracy and not the other way around.

This is actually down from 30%. I guess it takes a little extra effort to crash the market.

He really felt comfortable posting this? The president of the United States boasting about crashing the market?

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... "But also, we have the government we deserve. The American age is over. And it ended because the American people were no longer worthy of it."

The maga faithful, who clutched all their pearls and fell flat onto their fainting couches when president zelensky didn't dress appropriately during his white house visit, must be aghast at this.

open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup... It’s not clear if this is pay-to-play, a protection racket, or some combination of both. In any case, it’s not exactly the hallmark of a functional democracy

www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

open.substack.com/pub/populari... Anyone — including foreign governments — can purchase $TRUMP anonymously, boosting the value of the coin and enriching Trump.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... If the state can deprive an individual of his freedom just because of his politics then no one is safe. You may believe that Khalil does not deserve free speech or due process. But if he does not have them, then neither do you or me

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... Today we have some hard data to support this theory. Republican voters have—objectively—become more fascist and authoritarian in their values and political preferences.

open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma... Getting ‘disappeared’ comes to America

www.christianitytoday.com/newsletter/a... Perhaps most dangerous of all, in terms of what it does to the consciences of those arguing this way, is the suggestion that Ukraine is fated to lose. They have no cards left to play, the claim goes, so the free world should side with the eventual winners

US STEPS UP DEPORTATION FOR UKRAINIANS: Donald Trump's administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for about 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the war, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said. This could lead to their deportation as early as April.

There are not enough gestapo, not enough prison cells for all of us. Stay strong.

One of these pictures is not like the other.

www.theatlantic.com/internationa... The Putin model was to weaken any state institution that might defy him and to build state power back up only when he had total control.

open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... The absurdity of the moment concluded with Trump, a former reality TV actor, saying, “This is going to make great television.” To think the world’s security rests on this man’s judgment.
