Bad Faith is two shows in one: it's a panel show about politics and pop culture with a rotating cast of performers and politicians, artists and activists, writers and radicals; and it's a two-way podcast where two people from two very different parts of the left make the case for one less terrible world. 
​
​Briahna Joy Gray (@briebriejoy) is a former attorney, National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign, co-host of campaign podcast Hear The Bern, and a journalist who is early enough in her political career that she remains (tragically) sanguine.
​
​Virgil Texas (@virgiltexas) is an internet user and co-host of Chapo Trap House.

In the full episode, Brie and Virgil react to the news of RBG's death and lay out the nightmare scenarios for the far-right cementing their majority on the Supreme Court. Later, panelists Barbara Smith and Matt Karp unpack Trump's war on critical race theory and try to get to the bottom of why people are mad at identity politics.

Panel:

Barbara Smith (@TheBarbaraSmith), longtime black feminist author and activist, one of the co-authors of the Combahee River Collective statement, which coined the term "identity politics"

Matt Karp (@karpmj), professor of history at Princeton University and contributing editor at Jacobin
