Ep. 41: Trump's EPA in the South

SYNOPSIS: When it comes to environmental protections, the Trump administration has been on a deregulatory spree. On the front lines of fights to protect air, water and ecosystems across the South is the Southern Environmental Law Center — a nonprofit with a team of more than 100 lawyers, who are keeping busy in courts and on Capitol Hill. This week we talk to Geoff Gisler, Program Director for the SELC, about the biggest threats to Southern communities and landscapes the group saw in the first year of Trump 2.0, and what they foresee coming. Also: the election conspiracy theorists behind the FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots from 2020; allegations of censorship at the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument in Mississippi; and Florida takes another step toward blocking any regulation of greenhouse gases. And: Alabama native Ella Langley takes the charts by storm with “Choosin’ Texas.” SHOW NOTES: Southern Environmental Law Center “FBI raid in Fulton County relied on previously investigated 2020 election claims” Georgia Recorder Affidavit for Warrant for Georgia ballots “Trump’s ‘Stop the Steal’ lawyer probing 2020 election fraud has access to sensitive US intel” Politico “Trump’s Director of Election Security Is an Election Denier” The New York Tim “Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home” National Park Service “Visitor brochures are returned to Medgar Evers home” Mississippi Today “Evers National Monument Never Removed Brochures ‘Not One Second,’ Superintendent Says, Disputing Reports” Mississippi Free Press “Local Florida governments would be banned from enacting climate change policies under new proposal” Florida Phoenix “A Brief Inquiry Into ‘Choosin’ Texas’” Texas Monthly “Choosin’ Texas” Ella Langley CONTACT: Jesse Mayshark jmayshark@theprogressivesouth.org (865) 214-7764
