Palestinian-American activist, legal scholar, and human rights attorney Noura Erakat joins Bad Faith in a must-listen episode on the strategic benefits limits of the law in stopping a genocide, how to leverage electoral power to end U.S. aid to Israel, and why she isn't voting for Kamala Harris. Noura also weighs in for the first time on why she declined to join the Green Party ticket as V.P. and makes the case for solidarity across the left -- even in the face of strategic disagreement.

Political economist David Fields joins Bad Faith for a conversation that goes beyond housing policy to unpack the very roots of why the Democratic Party seems unable to provide basic improvements for working people -- even when they're in power. He clarifies the YIMBY vs. NIMBY debate, how YIMBYism has been appropriated by corporate developers, and how false economic narratives (e.g. the supply/demand curve) have been weaponized to justify real-estate lobby-approved solutions to the housing crisis.

Journalist Julia Doubleday joins Bad Faith to interrogate whether inconsistencies exist between the left’s commitment to universal healthcare and our willingness to criticize Democrats on a range of public safety failures, and the indifference from some on the left to the Biden administration’s declaration that Covid is "over" — even as multiple refinfections present the threat of long Covid and massive public health problems. Have legitimate concerns about CDC misinformation and overly broad vaccine mandates made it difficult to discuss Covid health risks without being pegged as "authoritarian?"

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?

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.

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?

What is the "deep state," how has that term been misappropriated by the right, and how is the power of the deep state being reflected in the 2024 election -- both with respect to the choice of Democratic candidate and her policy priorities? Also, can the deep state be beat -- and if not, is it time to just say screw it and get an MFA for health insurance and a little structure while we work on our novels?

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.

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.

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?

Husseini reacts to Hasbara from Jake Tapper and analyzes how hostages have been cynically weaponized by pro-Israel actors to generate sympathy for Israel's siege (and oust progressive news hosts), all while the families of hostages have clearly said that they are far from Israel's priority. Husseini also discusses a new UN report out Wednesday that confirms that claims of mass rape on October 7th are completely unsubstantiated, but that Israel likely implemented the "Hannibal directive" against its own citizens and enacted gross abuses -- including sexual assaults -- on Palestinian victims.
