Today on the Project Censored Show, journalist Stephanie Koithan returns to the program to give updates from the Lone Star State – and how what’s going on in Texas should be viewed as a canary in the coal mine for where the nation as a whole is headed. Stephanie talks about how ICE is adapting to a dissenting climate, and how big tech is finding nefarious loopholes around data center moratoriums. She also highlights the importance of local independent media in facilitating political agency and engagement.
Notes:
Stephanie Koithan is the Digital Editor of the San Antonio Current, where she covers politics, music, and other topics for the leftist alternative weekly. She also covers voter suppression, homelessness and ICE actions in the area, among other areas of focus.
