Summary

As South Asians rise to prominence on both sides of the aisle, The Nation columnist Jeet Heer explains the "Desi divide". For every Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, there's a Pramila Jayapal and a Ro Khanna. And how is Hindu nationalism abroad impacting the diaspora at home? Francesca and Jeet dig in. Plus, the Biden administration is embracing ceasefire in Gaza? Or are they rebranding their "humanitarian pause" BS? Comedian Emily Van Dyke joins to make sense of Vice President Kamala Harris' most recent speech. Finally in an edition of "You Love to See It" activists worldwide are divesting from occupation, protesting the IDF and calling Joe Manchin a sick f*ck. Amazing stuff, guys.
