I’m new to Substack/Bulwark +/Triad... however you want to describe this incredible space. My question: if I wanted to tweet a link to, say, your article on Notes how would I even go about inviting the people who follow me on Twitter to make the switch?

Charlie - Here is a worthwhile piece from Lever News (yes, I’ve been seeing other sites on the side) about some of the most vocal Thomas defenders have financial ties to Harlan Crow. To use a fave Syksism: This is my shocked face.

Thank you for your invitation to join Substack Notes. My first post here is to suggest a link to a site I never thought I would recommend: https://www.firstthings.com/article/2023/05/what-ukraine-means. Weigel's long article blew my mind.

Congrats on joining Substack Notes! But, before you get too comfy there, I wanted to get your thoughts on something new I've been working on.

It's called civio, a social network designed to elevate civil discourse over outrage culture. Instead of rewarding users for likes, clicks, and retweets, civio encourages respectful interactions between users. You can check out our homepage at getcivio.com.

I'm hoping to build a large list of people interested in trying out the platform once it's launched, and would like to invite everyone to join our waitlist. Thanks

Is this a merger of Bulwark Morning Shots with something called Notes? I joined Bulwark and pay for it happily because of the variety of daily offerings. As mentioned in another comment, today's Morning Shots is a few too few Shots, more like tippling sips. You can only spread yourself so thin, Charlie.

I consider myself a left of center Democrat, sort of a moderate Progressive. But I love the perspectives, discussions and dedication one can find at the Bulwark. Together we can get our country back on track.

What screen? This list of comments has nothing at the bottom on my iPhone 11.

I hate to say it but I'm probably not going to do it. I can just barely keep up with the Bulwark's fantastic daily output. This is just going to push me right over the cliff!

Do it!

Thank you but no thank you, I have never done twitter and never had any desire to. I have paid for the Bulwark and have no intentions of paying for another platform just so I can read it and don't really think I should have to

You don't have to pay for Notes. It's part of the larger Substack platform where Bulwark+ and the Morning Shots is published. Accessing Notes is free, you just need to login with your Bulwark+ credentials which should be saved on your computer or however you accessed this Comment thread.

Is this all of today's newsletter? Somehow, it's just not the same. :)
