Jay is joined by Emmaia Gelman, author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State. We discuss the pivotal role of the ADL not only in running cover for Israeli war crimes and aligning mainstream American Zionism with outright fascism, but also — and maybe more importantly — in the weaving of complex, changing narratives around race, rights, and Jewishness in America and beyond.

Jay is joined by senior wildfire correspondents Roger and Erica to discuss the forest fires raging across North America. We talk about out of control fires on the edge of the Arctic Circle, the use of prison labour in fighting wildfires, and what kind of mitigation, if any, is possible. We also talk about the psychotic responses of American politicians to the crisis and capitalism’s One Weird Trick to deal with this problem (cutting down every tree while they still can).
