‼️In Antitrust We Trust (w/ @BedoyaUSA)‼️
Former FTC commissioner Alvaro Bedoya returns to Bad Faith to explain the role Gavin Newsom & other west coast Dems played in undermining a lawsuit to block the Paramount/Warner Brothers deal. He also weighs in on the AI doomerist scuttlebutt of the last few weeks, & explains why he believes the big tech handwringing was about a desire for favorable regulatory conditions -- not a robot takeover.

At 5:15 today @NerdeenKiswani will be joining me on a Bad Faith pod livestream to discuss the controversy around how Mayor Mamdani handled Netanyahu's visit to NY, Abdul El-Seyed's choice to campaign with Kamala Harris, & what it means to be "pro-Palestine" within a pro-genocide political party.
I genuinely need people to understand what they are being asked to normalize here.
Mamdani campaigned on arresting Netanyahu.
Today Netanyahu came to NYC, received massive police protection, and anti-genocide protesters were arrested by the NYPD.

I made a map of the 77 countries that participated in a mass walkout at the United Nations before Benjamin Netanyahu's speech.
What do you notice?

Is the Pod Save crew overly credulous about the threat of AI ending the world, and too dismissive of the way big tech is using said threat to achieve favorable regulatory conditions? Former FTC commissioner Alvero Bedoya weighs in.

"Xavier Becerra doesn't pretend to be out there being a man of the people. He's not out there calling himself the fire breathing populist. Yet that is the game that Gavin Newsom plays online -- at least when it comes to fighting the president & his allies. So that is why I put the bulk of the blame here on the Governor." - @BedoyaUSA
"Is there anything they can credibly point to that they can say they 'won' as they bend the knee?" -BJG

Oh, no, Finkelstein compared Mazzig to Goebbels.
Norman Finkelstein comparing @HenMazzig to Goebbels and calling him a "child killer" is a grotesque assault on a Jewish advocate. Using Holocaust comparisons to smear critics is abhorrent.
After being hounded to answer for his IDF service, Hen was repeatedly talked over by Finkelstein. Finkelstein wasn't debating Hen. He was trying to silence him. It didn't work, and it won't.

🚨 Scooplet: @PalantirTech, a data firm with $145M in ICE contracts, was promoted as a "top supporter" at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference in Washington, D.C. last week, according to photos reviewed by HuffPost and a statement from the company.
This comes after @CHCI, the nonprofit aligned with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, publicly canceled Palantir's sponsorship and returned a donation after facing backlash.

"I, personally, was disappointed when President Biden came into power & he rebranded the [Yemen] war as defensive & not offensive...What does that mean? You just invented a word that never existed before in this context, & what it meant was nothing. Nothing changed on the ground. The US continued supporting the Saudi-led coalition, but now they had a rebrand behind them to make them look like they were the good guys...
"I was disappointed in the months that followed that Congress was not willing to act against President Biden. And they could have questioned him harder during those months. They could've continued that ferocious drive toward ending this war once & for all now that they had a president on their side, supposedly, who came in with promises to end the war...I was very disappointed by some of these people saying, well, let's give the president a chance." -@shireen818

All of the bigoted teens in this video will quite literally have guns in their hands within a few years when they're sent by Israel to enforce apartheid conditions on the Palestinian children they imagine to be so violent.
"Should we commit genocide in Gaza?" "Do you think there are any innocents in Gaza?" The series of comedian Lior Schlein talking to the youth of Israel continues, and this time he hears why even babies are not innocent. The full scale Nazification of Israeli youth is truly shocking.

Presidential hopefuls should be asked about this. Especially allegedly "pro-Palestine" ones.

Black pastors and their congregations gathered outside of DNC headquarters and Third Way offices in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, demanding that the Democratic Party and its leaders put “substance over symbolism” by embracing a progressive economic agenda — Medicare for All, a federal job guarantee, tuition-free public college, and universal housing. They said pushing these policies represents the unfinished work of the Civil Rights Movement.
Drop Site’s @JulianAndreone spoke with those in attendance.

Ok, should we fund this? Or should we defund this?
NEW: Florida woman gives emotional testimony about being placed in solitary confinement for more than 3 days after a Flock camera falsely connected her vehicle to a deadly crash:
"Correctional officers told me I had to stay there because of the severity of my charges... The cell door was shut and it was not open for approximately 86 hours."
“I was terrified. I was facing the possibility of spending the rest of my life in prison for a crash I knew that I had not been involved in."
"At my lowest point, I didn't want to be alive.”
Lindsey Isaacs spent nearly 2 weeks in maximum-security jail before the charges were dropped.
