    The labor organizer who led workers at the Staten Island Amazon warehouse to the first labor victory in the US against Amazon Christian Smalls returns to Bad Faith to discuss 2024 and labor's role in manufacturing consent for corporate candidates. The Amazon Labor Union co-founder weighs in on the claim that Biden-Harris has been the most "pro-union" administration of our lifetimes and whether Biden's relatively worker-friendly NLRB is sufficient reason to vote blue despite the Democrats' ongoing support for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

    Duke Professor of Public Policy, Economics, & African American Studies William Darity Jr. is probably the most cited scholar on the issue of the racial wealth gap and reparations. So what does he make of Kamala's agenda for Black America and the state of reparations discourse, post-2020? With more and more Arab and Muslim voters threatening to withhold their votes over the siege in Gaza, why has there never been an "abandon Dems" movement over the party's broken promises to Black Americans? What types of policies would actually close the racial wealth gap, and why isn't the wealth tax discussed more frequently in these terms?

    Host of Sabby Sabs Sabrina Salvati returns to Bad Faith to break down AOC's very bad faith attack on Jill Stein and discuss the Democratic Party's ramped-up attacks on Greens in the wake of a disasterous-for-Kamala poll showing Muslim voters are looking to Stein as an alternative.

    Author of The Jakarta Method and If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution Vincent Bevins joins Bad Faith to discuss how to turn protests into revolutionary change. In If We Burn he analyzes over a dozen movements from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street to the protests in Hong Kong and Brazil to establish the conditions that create mass movements. Then he takes it a step rather, investigating why those movements have not manifested in progress and have, at times, actually preceded a political regression. In this sprawling three hour conversation we do “applied history” and try to break down what went wrong after the BLM protests of 2020 and how to prevent those failures now that we’re in the middle of global protests over Israel’s genocide on Gaza.

    Journalist, Bernie 2020 speechwriter, and founder of The Lever David Sirota joins Bad Faith to talk his new podcast series Master Plan, which tracks the roots of American corruption from the infamous 70s era Powell memo to our present day. We discuss the DNC, Chris Cuomo's newfound interest in the corrupting power of money in politics, & Kamala's price capping plan along with the bipartisan backlash to it. We also debate the limits of working from within the Democratic Party and whether or not the Bernie campaign -- where Brie and David were colleagues -- proves it cannot be done.

    Last week, most eyes were glued to the Democratic National Convention programing: The Lil Jon roll call, AOC proclaiming that Harris is working "tirelessly" for a ceasefire, JB Pritzker bragging that he is a better billionaire than Trump, and Harris proclaiming hers will be the most "lethal" military ever. But the Green Party also had its own nominating convention, which prioritized the issues that once defined the Bernie left. This week, two Green Party National Co-Chairs --Margaret Elisabeth and Craig Cayetano -- join Bad Faith to weigh in on the DNC and contrast it with the Green Party's organizational structure, provide additional insight into why Cornel West may have decided to run as an independent, the new Green Party VP, & whether Uncommitted is wasting their leverage. They also take on the growing volume of anti-Green propaganda shared by high profile liberal accounts like George Takei's. Is the Green Party really doing nothing between presidential elections?

    Consumer advocate, former Green Party presidential candidate, & author Ralph Nader returns to Bad Faith to cut through the media gaslighting about Harris "fighting tirelessly" for a ceasefire and to respond to an online-left that has been successfully wooed by "vibes" to embrace Kamala despite her commitment to providing arms to a genocidal state.

    Dr. Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute returns to Bad Faith to explain how Israel's assassination of Hamas' top ceasefire negotiator Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran reflects Israel's lack of good faith and threatens a broader regional war. Why does Israel want war with Iran, and what are the current risks of escalation in the region? Also, what should we make of Trump's recent meeting with Netanyahu?

    Executive Editor of The American Prospect David Dayen returns to Bad Faith to help decipher Kamala Harris’ economic policy. Having dodged interviews and eschewed policy proposals, we’re left reading the tea leaves — analyzing who she’s surrounded herself with, and what her surrogates have been saying on CNBC and beyond. What does it mean that her brother-in-law, Uber’s chief legal officer & an Obama DOJ alum, is a senior advisor? How does someone who fought for drivers to be classified as contract employees advise Kamala’s labor policy? Will she be an ally for the banks over the people, echoing the DOJ’s choices after the financial crash? When people close to the candidate refuse to give straight answers on whether Lina Khan will remain head of the FTC, is it because Kamala is trying to avoid ticking off donors who want her gone? Or is it because she’s trying to avoid ticking off the voters who think she’s the best thing Biden been did? Few are better equipped than Dayen to break it all down.

    The Abandon Biden movement was created to leverage votes to secure a ceasefire or, alternatively, punish Biden for failing to move on that issue. What does the Abandon Biden movement do now that Biden is no longer on the ticket? Head of communications Ahmad Hudhayfah joins Bad Faith to discuss the movement's attitude to Kamala Harris, its current demands, and what he makes of so many "coconut-pilled" leftists who had formally articulated a commitment to Palestinian rights.

    Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care physician who volunteered at the Gaza European Hospital near Khan Yunis earlier this spring. Last month, he and a fellow volunteer wrote an op-ed in Politico detailing their experience. Somehow, despite the unspeakable images out of Gaza we’ve all been watching for the better part of a year, their account managed to capture unique horrors endemic to this genocide. Dr. Sidwa joins Bad Faith to elaborate on what he saw and how it differs even from other conflict zones he’s volunteered in over the years, including Ukraine.

    Status Coup News' Jordan Chariton returns to Bad Faith to provide an update on the toxic fallout from the East Palestine train derailment and report on how residents on the ground are souring on their senator, JD Vance. Vance once championed the people of East Palestine, but he has failed to follow up on new revelations that the crisis was mismanaged. Does his inclusion on the Trump 2024 ticket constrain his advocacy for his own constituents due to policy differences with Trump -- or was his advocacy always superficial? Also, Jordan connects the East Palestine crisis to the Flint water crisis and previews his new book We the Poisoned: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Cover Up and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans.

    Civil rights attorney, former public defender, and founder of Civil Rights Corps Alec Karakatsanis joins Bad Faith to discuss his latest article exposing the massive disinformation campaign around police body cameras that has led liberals to embrace surveillance technology as a progressive reform. Alec explains the evidence that exposes the true purpose of body cameras, and addresses whether the recent on-camera murder of Sonya Massey complicates the argument. He then takes on a new trend rehabilitating Kamala Harris's criminal justice record now that she's the presumptive nominee. Were claims about her record overblown in 2020? Or is she, in fact, a cop?

    Former Seattle City Council member, socialist, & co-founder of Workers Strike Back Kshama Sawant returns to Bad Faith for an important conversation about where the left's focus should be during what is shaping up to be one of the most tumultuous electoral seasons in American history. AOC, Bernie, and almost all progressive electeds threw their support behind Biden even as the general public overwhelmingly lost confidence in him -- and for what? Kshama breaks down AOC's late night IG monologue justifying support for Biden, reviews the evidence for why the Squad's "insider" strategy has proven ineffective, and offers a clear vision for how the left can advance our goals in this unique moment.

    BreakThrough News journalist Rania Khalek returns to Bad Faith to talk Hezbollah and developments that could lead to a broader regional war in the Middle East -- but not before she indulges in some horserace talk. Weeks after Biden’s disastrous debate, why are progressives his strongest defenders, and why isn’t a real ceasefire in Gaza a nonnegotiable for progressive electeds? (Note: that this was recorded just before the Trump assassination attempt.)

    Democratic National Committee member, deputy campaign manager to both of Jesse Jackson's Presidential campaigns, and founder of the Arab American Institute James Zogby returns to Bad Faith to break down the possibilities for an open convention. How much flexibility do delegates have to defect? How might a new candidate be chosen? And what is the likelihood that the DNC -- given the lengths it has gone to marginalize leftists working within the Democratic Party -- would ever choose a candidate that improves on Biden's position on Palestine, for instance?
