Added 2025-02-25 16:35:01 +0000 UTCIn this full episode of Left Reckoning, hosts David and Matt dive into some of the most compelling stories in progressive politics today.
First up, we chat with Elise Joshi (@EliseJoshi), the former head of Gen Z for Change, who recounts her firsthand experience organizing under the Biden administration and her confrontation with the Biden White House over climate change. Plus we take stock of where the movement is today after Kamala Harris' historic defeat and Trump's return to power.
Next, international relations professor Van Jackson (@realVanJackson) joins the conversation. As co-host of the un-diplomatic podcast (un-diplomatic.com), he breaks down Trump’s latest moves on Ukraine, the shifting dynamics of military spending, and what’s really happening in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Plus Matt & Dave on Bernie Sanders’ Fight Oligarchy Tour and its implications for the progressive movement.

Also, it's really funny that Dems are so obsessed with Putin and Russia but get upset at Bernie for using the word Oligarchy!
