The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Return of the Weathermen?

Yesterday's protests in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle suggest again that the pro-Hamas Left is moving into a new and more dangerous phase, one in which they are openly chanting "Death to America" and may be readying violent acts of "resistance." The parallels to the 1960s are unmistakable. And things are only going to get more heated as Israel does what it has to in Rafah and against Iran. Give a listen.

It is one of the longest and largest structures ever built. It was designed to defend one of the oldest and greatest civilizations on the planet.

Some people have claimed that you could see it from space, and it is one of the most visited tourist attractions on Earth.

Then, Tommy and Strict Scrutiny's Melissa Murray discuss Trump's first day in court, the process of jury selection, and how the New York case compares to Trump's other indictments.

Bad Faith - Episode 363 Promo – Will Labor Bear Fruit? (w/ Hamilton Nolan)

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

Labor journalist Hamilton Nolan joins Bad Faith to discuss the left's shifting attitude toward immigration with respect to the concerns about the impact of immigrant workers on domestic wages. Does defending domestic workers have to come at the expense of immigrants? And does the shift on this issue reflect a larger rightward shift among online left commentators? The conversation broadens to include a debate on whether labor is disempowered by endorsing Biden, the efficacy of the Squad/DSA's electoral strategy, and whether labor organizing can be successful in the absence of true American labor party.
