Just recorded an extensive conversation with @lilymasonphd.bsky.social about the Inauguration and the first 72 hours of the Trump regime.
I can't say it was particularly uplifting, but I do think we found a way to put everything that has transpired so far into perspective.
Out tomorrow morning!

Good news: Is This Democracy will be back!
Look for our relaunch episode to drop towards the end of next week, as @lilymasonphd.bsky.social and @thomaszimmer.bsky.social will be talking about the first few days of the Trump regime - and the broader struggle over democracy in America.
