In the first edition of an ongoing series Justin lays out how the left should think about the Supreme Court. It's not a place to win victories, though victories can be won there, it's a place the left goes to lose. However it can still be used as a tool to revolutionize society and fold the system in on itself. However, to use it as such we have to be very careful in our thinking and not fall into liberal reformism. This episode lays out those broad themes and context, on which we will build in future editions of AJAB (All Judges Are Bad).

In this "radical reading", Trevor dissects Angela Nagle's piece in the American Affairs Journal, The Left Case Against Open Borders. The article argues the economics of immigration should push the left to a more restrictionist position. Something Trevor makes short work of, because as you'll hear, solidarity is core to our socialist movement.

In the episode 1 of what will be a multi-part series, Justin dives into the life and times of American socialist, activist, trade unionist, and presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs. The following topics are covered:
From the Panic of 1873, which sent Debs looking for work elsewhere. He joins The Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman and gets his first taste of labor organizing. To The Dynamite and Legitimate Warfare essay (1885) and the political failures which led to Debs shift in perspective that would eventually brings him to socialism.
I set out to write the third and final episode of the series, but ended up fixated on this idea of the alt-right brain and how these people come to hold beliefs that allow them to commit such horrific acts of violence. As I finished editing, I opened my phone to the news another apparent white nationalist had murdered at least 12 people in El Paso Texas. I hope this episode serves as a way to make sense of the endless tragedies.

On night two, Kamala struggles trying to play defense and Joe Biden stammers his way to a performance that probably won’t hurt him. Plus a broader analysis of the race.

This week, in an informal and loosely structured meditation, Trevor discusses the attacks in Gaza that killed 25 Palestinians and injured many more in a broader context. How can we transform our outdated discussions about Israel and Palestine with a more humanitarian and, in fact, effective conversation that treats Palestinians as people deserving of rights?
A ton of more content coming about Palestinian liberation and how it relates to western imperialism, which must be a first-order issue for those of us trying to transform society.
Book discussed in the podcast (highly recommended):
On Palestine by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé

- Politically Kamala is a very strong candidate and has a good chance at winning the primary.
- Looking deeper into her long record as District Attorney and Attorney General shows how it was often far from progressive.
- The oxymoron that is claiming to be a "progressive prosecutor."
- Some of the more inhumane actions Kamala took as prosecutor and her wishy-washy support of truly progressive criminal justice reform.
