Ep. 45: A Stand for Georgia Immigrants

SYNOPSIS: As minority whip for the Georgia state Senate Democrats, Senator Kim Jackson helped lead the fight in this session for a package of bills aimed at reining in aggressive immigration enforcement in the state. Republicans have blocked them, but this week Jesse talks to Jackson about the proposals and the public outcry that led to them. She also talked about her perspective and role as an Episcopal priest, a farmer, and a queer person of color in the Legislature. Also: Overt racism and ethno-nationalism are surging on the right. We take a look at leaked chat messages from young conservatives in Miami, the popularity among young Florida voters of far-right gubernatorial candidate James Fishback, and the efforts by the Texas-based Center for Baptist Leadership to push the Southern Baptist Convention into full embrace of white Christian nationalism. Plus: A preview of upcoming shows in Texas by Ballet Leplanta, which fuses classical ballet with Mexican folkloríco. SHOW NOTES: State Sen.
