Where journalism is not, the corrupt and wicked flourish
In 2024, the Israeli military killed a record 82 journalists and media workers in Palestine. The death toll has now surpassed that of any modern conflict including both World Wars, Cold War proxy wars, the Gulf War, and the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

To have come of age during the uncovering of the Uyghur genocide, this is sad and disheartening
The world is more divided than ever, but there’s still something (nearly) everyone agrees on: The US is unloved.

Meanwhile, China keeps improving its global standing 👇

Unreal you can have trifecta and still accomplish nothing but violating the constitution

Cost of Trump’s military parade: $45 million. That could feed 30,000 children for a year via SNAP.
Trump: We will have a big, beautiful parade.

Welker: A military parade?

Trump: Yes.

Welker: What’s the price tag?

Trump: Peanuts compared to the value of doing it

Time to leverage NUC and move past doctrinal conservatism. Ukraine can bring NATO warfighting into the next decade.

US allies should stand strong against the Trump administration while firmly supporting the American people to sustain the transatlantic relationship.

📩 I’ve long been asked if I have a Substack. For the first time, the answer is yes!

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."
