Important essay goes to the roots of America's distemper. Hey @lindsey_brink, next essay should address: does liberalism (or libertarianism) INHERENTLY cause hyper-individualism and mistrust of authority and institutions? Cuz that's the claim of Deneen, Vermeule, et al.

Even by her lofty standards, @anneapplebaum has written a must-read account of the mindless barbarism Russia is inflicting on Ukraine.

Today's must-read: brilliant dissection of so-called integralism by @BillGalston. Peeps, we need to take this seriously. It's a fundamental challenge to 300 years of religious and personal freedom, and it's on the rise.

.@mattyglesias nails it in this excellent analysis of our immigration mess. Nothing can work until Congress revises broken asylum law. The right answer is whatever can pass with bipartisan support.

An important article. Bottom line: unprecedented secularization in US and Europe is driving pseudo-religious extremism.
