Stop Cop City Defendants Still Facing Terror Charges w/ Priscilla Grim (G&R 308)
Cop City still remains an ongoing struggle. After the 2023 assassination of forest defender Tortuguita by the Georgia police, environmental and social justice organizers began to campaign hard on the issue. The state responded with a harsh backlash that has resulted in a multitude of charges that includes domestic terrorism and at least 61 people being included on a criminal RICO case.
In our latest, Scott talks with one of the Stop Cop City defendants, Priscilla Grim (@priscillagrim). They discuss the campaign against Cop City, her time in jail and how state persecution has effected her life.

New College of Florida Destroys Tree Preserve Amid Local Resistance (G&R 307)
A cherished coastal preserve is under attack by the campus administration that was appointed last year by Governor DeSantis in the right-wing takeover underway at New College of Florida. The new administration wants to tear down this small tree preserve, home to Osprey and other wildlife, supposedly for a sports facility. Local resistance has been building to resist the "development" project at Bayfront Uplands Preserve.
In our latest, Scott talks with local organizer Jinx Ashforth about the right wing take over of New College of Florida, and the fight over the Uplands Preserve.

Lisa Sachs on How Global Elites Extract Billions From Governments w/ Trade Agreements and Litigation (G&R 306)
Within the past four decades, we’ve seen the rise of neo-liberalism, or so-called "Free Trade," free trade agreements and various other treaties and agreements that reduce and eliminate barriers and regulation for capital to invest in different nation states. While there has been some resistance, capital and investments march on. Corporations and investors have created tools such as "international investment treaties (IITs)" to continue their profit-making ventures. These treaties result in litigation that can undermine, environmental, human rights and labor protections. This is particularly important as the world is gripped in a climate crisis and regulations on carbon emissions, human rights, and fossil fuel extraction are vital.
In our latest we talk with the director of Columbia's Center on Sustainable Investment (@CCSI_Columbia) Lisa Sachs about IITs and the legal tools corporations use to settle disputes with national governments when regulation gets in the way.
bio//
Lisa Sachs is the Director of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment. She is a globally recognized expert in the ways that laws, policies and business practices shape global investment flows and affect sustainable development. She works with governments around the world, regional and international development organizations, financial institutions, companies, civil society organizations and academic centers to understand the inter-relations of investment flows and sustainable development, and to influence investment policies and practices to promote the SDGs and the Paris Agreement.

Noam Chomsky: An Appreciation . . . and what he's taught us (G&R 305)
With the recent news about Noam Chomsky's condition and absence from public life, and the outpouring of respect and admiration from so many people who have learned so much from him (along with the typical
haters), we got together to discuss what he's mean and what he's contributed to us on the Left.
We discussed his contributions in the fields of linguistics and knowledge, and media analysis. Then we discussed his advocacy of free expression . . . he believed that we had to defend all rights to free speech, even if uttered by someone we disagree with. Next we talked about his important work in describing the way liberals really acted,
especially w/ regard to their war in Vietnam. We also discussed one of the areas where his work has been most important, and overlapped w/ one of our favorite topics on Green & Red--the dangers to the left of embracing conspiracy theories and the "deep state," especially with
regard to the JFK assassination. And finally we covered his ideas of "intellectual self-defense" and the importance of telling everyone the truth against the propaganda of people in power.

Israel's Wider Aggression in Lebanon and Iran, w/ Profs Nate George and Eskander Sadeghi-Boroujerdi (G&R 304)
Israel's slaughters in Palestine may be horrific and well-covered, but there's more going on in the region than that! Israel has also been acting aggressively throughout the region--especially in Lebanon and Iran. Here Bob talked with two great professors who study the region, Nate George of SOAS and Eskandar Sadeghi of the University of York, about Israel's wider wars against other states in the Middle East.
It's a great seminar in the region, w/ a detailed look at the politics of the Middle East and especially Israel's long-term conflict and interventions in Lebanon and Iran.

Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from Tucson’s Poisoned Aquifer w/ Prof. Sunaura Taylor (G&R 303)
In Tucson, Arizona, Cold War era war profiteer Hughes Aircraft polluted an aquifer with chemical waste from a manufacturing facility that poisoned the largely Mexican-American community and desert ecosystem living above. The community responded with one of the first environmental justice campaigns in the United States.
In our latest, we talk with Professor Sunaura Taylor about her new book “Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert” that details the pollution, the community campaign and the networks of disability, both human and wild, that are created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered.
Bio//
Sunaura Taylor is Assistant Professor of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley, and author of the American Book Award–winning Beasts of Burden: Animal and Disability Liberation, and “Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert.”
