KTF Weekly Newsletter: The Danger of Officer Safety, Europe’s Shadow Immigration System, Trans Children in Texas
Hi all,
Quick note before we start: both our newsletter and podcast are run through the company Substack, which now has an iOS app. So for you iPhone users, if you so desire, you can get notified about and voraciously consume all of our content via an app instead of your email inbox. Ditto any other creators you follow on Substack. And an android app is in the works — waiting list here if you’re interested.
