In the first half of the show, cohost Eleanor Goldfield speaks with lawyer and worker health and safety advocate for Public Citizen’s Congress watch division, Juley Fulcher about her recent report, Scorched States, an expose of the inadequate or wholly lacking protections for workers facing extreme heat in the age of climate chaos. Juley describes the legislative morass standing in the way of workers rights, and how states like Florida and Texas have actually made it illegal to protect workers. Next up, cohosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield highlight the importance of critical media literacy vis a vis how media and our government talk about immigration. Beware the dog whistle from both parties and establishment press, and consider the realities of those caught in the snares of our militarized southern border.
