I wrapped up season one of American Times in October of 2020…so it’s been over 4 years, but with recent developments I’m thinking it’s time for a season two. Here’s the conclusion episode of season one. Who should I interview in season two?

Hey
@bsky.app
is there anyway you can develop an in app feature that would automatically blur the current Oval Office holder’s face in people’s feeds? That would be amazing. Seeing his face all the time makes the app experience less enjoyable.

Rob Reiner was a true patriot, a champion of democracy who understood the risks we face and strove to ensure that future generations of Americans would live in a free country. May his memory be a blessing.

It's a defining feature of the Trump Era: unqualified people in big important jobs who don't want to do them and can't anyway so they spend a lot of time pretending to do it on TV and social media.

Autocrats purge their militaries to ensure loyalty, or to eliminate opposition to the stupid thing they’re planning. Why is Hegseth purging the ranks? Well, Trump keeps talking about war — in Venezuela, in Nigeria, and against Americans. What comes next won’t be good. 2/2

interviewing all these people standing in line to vote...and also I think hours long voting lines are an affront to democracy. It should be easy to vote.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
