The Bulwark Podcast - Bill Kristol: Stay on Offense

Kamala looks to have a very narrow lead in the polls, but she needs to do more to drive Trump down—a good target would be his announcement that he's voting against protecting abortion rights in Florida. Plus, his sudden concern for Pence and Vance's copious podcast blathering. 

Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller for a special Labor Day pod.

Bad Faith - Episode 402 Promo – Getting from Protest to Revolution (w/ Vincent Bevins)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

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.
