Clark Randall, a past guest, and Lucy Randall who co-wrote The Nation article, "How Israel Bonds Put the Cost of the War in Gaza on US States and Municipalities: After October 7, Palm Beach County, Florida, bought $660 million in Israel bonds. A new lawsuit argues that it’s a bad deal for taxpayers." Clark is an independent journalist and PhD student at Brown University. His work considers questions of race, class, and finance in the US and internationally. Lucy is a freelance journalist and an immigration lawyer representing asylum seekers in New York City.
