Welcome to this week's Jacobin Show with David Griscom. We are first joined by Tiare Gatti Mora, a contributor at Compact, collaborator with Diem25, and contributor to Jacobin, to talk about “girlboss” feminism and why socialist feminism is a stronger alternative. Then Andrew Cockburn, Washington Editor of Harper's, joins to talk about the rot at the heart of American society and his new book Washington is Burning. Plus, as Trump and Israel continue to threaten the world, Wall Street is asking the important questions: How do we profit off of the chaos?

Lula has successfully transformed Brazil, but the question lingers: what forces can continue this work? Political succession has been a long-term issue on the Left. What is the future of the Left in Brazil, and what lessons can movements around the world learn from Lula and the political transition of AMLO to Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico? David speaks to Andre Pagliarini, professor at Louisiana State University and a contributor to Jacobin and Catalyst, about the history of Lula, what's next for the Left in Brazil, and what lesson we can all take from Lula's political project.
