Episode Details

Part 1:
We talk with Amy Littlefield, writer for The Nation.
We discuss how the civil rights that have bee fought for by many people, and for which many have died, has now been abrogated by the Supreme Court. Civil rights, including women's rights, are being eliminated by white 'christian' supremacists.
Part 2:
We talk with Mark Olalde, who writes for ProPublica.
We discuss how polluters are being encouraged to avoid clean air and water regulations, simply be allowing them to request waivers by email to the EPA. Spurious 'emergencies' and 'security concerns' are being cited to allow the use of restarted coal plants or energy generation without scrubbers. 'Cancer Alley' regions are often sited in areas of minority populations, who pay the health and early death price as a result.
