Billy Honor of the New Georgia Project, a voter registration effort founded by Stacey Abrams, weighs in on whether the Democratic Party can convince Georgia voters to go to the polls after reneging on so many of the promises that motivated voters back in 2020. What has he been hearing from voters on the ground, and what is the role of voter advocacy orgs in pushing voters, in this case, largely Black and lower income voters, toward candidates that actually reflect their interests. What if their interests align more with, say Cornel West than Joe Biden?

HuffPo reporter Daniel Marans joins the show to discuss his new viral article detailing tough times for Justice Democrats. After laying off nearly half its staff, the future of Justice Democrats (and of the American left?) is unclear. Are JD's funding woes the result of a disorganized left? Or is the organization's choice to curry favor from superstars like AOC over grassroots donors the root of its problems? Would adversarial politics damn the Justice Dems, or is that the key to their survival? Marans has covered the left for years -- including sharing a beat with Brie back in the day -- so there's plenty to debate about the trajectory of the left as they've seen it, up close and personal.

Palestinian-American activist Omar Baddar joins Bad Faith for a point-by-point refutation of RFK Jr's views on Palestine, the conduct of the IDF, and what fellow Presidential candidate Marianne Williams has called "dated AIPAC talking points." In the wake of a controversial interview on the Jimmy Dore Show -- as well as Briahna's own showdown with RFK Jr. on Rising -- it's worth parsing what is and isn't true.

Is having a crush anti-feminist? Are Barbies blue-pilled? Is Ken the protagonist, actually? Is Legally Blonde a better Barbie movie than The Barbie Movie? Is it feminist to manipulate men? And what does it say about how the filmmakers feel about Barbie when the movie ends with Barbie, well, choosing what she chose? This one contains spoilers, but not ones that I think really change how you'll view the film. Leslie Lee III & Kate Willett join Briahna to break down the good, the bad, the Barbie.

The mainstream media treated this effort as borderline sedition, with the New York Times characterizing the move as "playing right into Putin's hands;" but Ari uses he's deep procedural knowledge to explain that the real story here is that the left could be choosing to exercise real power, but are declining to do so. The pair discuss Force The Vote, Bernie and AOC's Biden endorsement, and more.
