Timbisha - Ash Meadows
Following the fast track development of Thacker Pass for lithium mining, and the abrogation of various laws like Section 106 of the National Historic Places Act, NAGPRA, NEPA, and others, the continuing pressure on Oak Flat and mixed interpretation of laws there, and the unknown unknowns of the Salton Sea lithium/geothermal extraction, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior (DOI), and the Biden Administration are on a roll.
Next targeted is Ash Meadows, a lush oasis and "biodiversity hotspot" where Rover Metals, a Canadian company, would like to dig 30 some-odd bore-holes just over the fence-line from the springs, and the famed pupfish, and other endangered species of the National Wildlife Refuge.

Old Radio - First Monday of the Month
O Henry's The Cisco Kid
Three episodes from 1952 featuring the Mexican "Robin Hood of the Old West" with his sidekick, Pancho. Each ends with their classic laugh, "Oh, Pancho! O, Cisco! Ha ha ha ha ha!" The Cisco Kid later made the transition to TV and appeared in comic books during the 50s as well, borrowing elements from The Lone Ranger and Zorro, though neither Pancho nor Cisco wore a mask. Despite the somewhat stereotypical accents, the two Mexican range riders are portrayed as heroic free-lance upholders of justice.
In the third episode we will listen to, Pancho is targeted for a lynching. Despite the light-hearted nature of the goings-on in the end, as "all's well that ends well", this reflected a widespread reality in the US southwest territories, later states, that were captured from Mexico -- resisters to the US conquest and occupation were portrayed as bandits, and lynchings and hangings of Mexicanos or Chicanos, while not as numerous as those against Black people in the post-Reconstruction South, were a not-uncommon occurrence in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, to control and terrorize the Indigenous Spanish-speaking population.

Project Censored with Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield
Echoes of Rebellion: Student Protests, State Violence, and Spatial Power
In the first half of the show, Eleanor sits down with author and history professor Dr. Gerald Horne to discuss the ongoing and growing student protests across the country, the violent response to them by the police state, and how this tracks with a history of student uprisings. Dr. Horne shares his own experiences in fighting apartheid in South Africa back in the 80s and how similar but amplified tactics are at play today in the fight against apartheid Israel.
Later in the show, geographer Dr. Austin Kocher joins the show to discuss his work in tracking the relationship of space, power, and the state vis a vis immigration. Dr. Kocher shares insight into the research institute TRAC which uses FOIA requests to gain access to supposedly public record on immigration statistics, the morbid efficacy of digital detention and border control, and more.
