Washington Congressional candidate & former Socialist Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant returns to Bad Faith to give her no-holds-barred assessment of left elected officials as they navigate the Democratic Establishment, to weigh in on the Epstein files -- including Chomsky's involvement --, and to provide a clear blueprint for how the left should resist. She also weighs in on the limits of labor given business unionism capture and strategies to overcome it, while updating us on the progress of her Congressional campaign against Zionist corporatist Adam Smith.

It's here! The annual love-on-the-left episode. This week F.D Signifier returns in the wake of publishing what might be his best viral video essay to date to anchor our panel as our married love veteran. He's joined by returning guests but first time love panelists astrologer Isa Nakazawa & former congressional candidate and activist against gun violence Cameron Kasky to talk male loneliness, contemporary dating culture, and whether new material mores have permanently upended traditional partnership.

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, author, & theologian Chris Hedges returns to Bad Faith to engage in a spirited debate about how to act now that liberal incrementalism has led to incremental fascism. Why does it feel like so much left discourse is explaining why we aren't ready to act: "Insufficient union density, insufficient political consciousness, insufficient organization"? If it only takes 3% of the population to spark revolutionary change, what can we do with the tens of millions who mobilized for George Floyd or Palestine? How do we sustain civil disobedience as the state increasingly criminalizes free speech and ratchets up penalties as they did for Jessica Reznicek? Also, Hedges discusses his viral commentary on Epstein's relationship with Noam Chomsky, why he's not a Marxist, and more. Can't skip this one.

Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University, Dr. CBS, returns to Bad Faith to discuss the contraversy around Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half time performance and the limits of revolutionary art, the increasingly heated Jasmine Crockett/James Talarico Texas Senate primary & what everyone gets wrong about the viability of Black candidates, Trump's "Lion King" tweet featuring the Obama's as apes, & the latest attempt by Ezra Klein-stye centrists to brand their deregulatory agenda as a winning path forward for the Democratic Party -- a new "pro growth" political group called Next America Era.

Founding director of the Critical Theory Workshop and professor at Villanova University Gabriel Rockhill is out with a new book that calls out many of the intellectual fathers of the academic left as insufficiently imperialist and often funded by the CIA. How have we been mislead by the "compatible left" -- a cohort of leftists that support marxism only in theory while inveighing against actually existing socialism? Where do Slavoj Zizek & Noam Chomsky fall in this analysis? How do we identify the contemporary "compatible left" in our media and political environment, and if the deep state is so effective at coopting left movements, what can we possibly do to evade them and achieve revolutionary change? This is a sprawling, three-hour episode you wont want to miss.

Journalist from The Grayzone and author of Corporate Coup: Venezuela and the End of US Empire Anya Parampil returns to Bad Faith to discuss the latest developments in Venezuela following the kidnapping of Maduro -- a story that somehow emerged this month but is already out of the headlines. But first, we tackle an insane news week, including the ICE shooting death of Alex Pretti, the Democratic Party's feeble response and willingness to compromise ahead of this week's government funding deadline, settler attacks in the West Bank on Holocaust memorial day, Israelis starting fires in Patagonia, the physical attack on Ilhan Omar, TikTok becoming part of the Ellison empire, & more.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation whistleblower and former Green Beret Anthony Aguilar returns to Bad Faith to announce his candidacy to represent North Carolina's 13th Congressional district, where he's running as a Green Party candidate. He answers questions about his military career and addresses concerns about fetishizing military service that were raised during a recent episode about Graham Platner, and he makes the case for why anti-imperialist voters should trust a candidate who has had a relatively late-in-life break from a career in the US military. Why was Gaza the breaking point, how does he plan to win the district that contains Fort Bragg as an anti-war candidate, and who is Anthony Aguilar -- the man?
