If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

It's great news and I'm looking forward for the Chat to be available on Android (I don't want to split my readers by os). It's great that Substack introduces new big features.
But I'd also like to see 5 much smaller interface improvements that would make creators' life much easier.
1. I miss the possibility to add notes to my subcribers' info that I had on Patreon but I don't have on Substack. Notes could be extremely useful, e.g. to see that subscribers are early adopters, or were warned for their rude comments, or won a prize in a quiz, etc.
2. Another info about subscribers that I had on Patreon and miss on Substack is their names. Sometimes it feels rude when you have to write an email to your subscribers without even knowing their name.
3. The next thing I miss on Substack is from Medium. There you can click 3 dots on your post to see the post stats. On Substack you have to scroll down on dashboard to see stats for your posts, it's very inconvenient when you want to see stats for an old post.
4. Another very useful feature implemented on Medium but missing on Substack is performance in time for each post. There you can see the number of readers for each of the posts for each day since they'd been published. Substack ― only daily number of readers for your entire blog
5. The last but by no means the least is the lack of the ways to contact support. Substack Help Center doesn't show any ways to contact support either by chat, email of form. My Substack subscribers write me when they have problems with subscription, because they don't have other options. Very inconvenient.
Thank you for the Chat and other new features and I hope you'll have time for these smaller fixes that would be extremely useful not just for me but for all of us here.
It is the ultimate irony of history that radical individualism serves as the ideological justification of the unconstrained power of what the large majority of individuals experience as a vast anonymous power, which, without any democratic public control, regulates their lives.
Best piece I’ve read on the tariffs so far.
I was ready to be skeptical because of all the UFO nonsense but this is much more legitimate as evidence. Incredible!
