San Antonio Current

Thanks, everyone, for joining us at the Project Censored radio show on Pacifica Radio.

I'm your co-host, Eleanor Goldfield, and we're very glad right now to welcome back on the program Stephanie Koithan, who's 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.

Stephanie, thanks so much for being here.

And there, there are multiple lawsuits against this company also for worker violations, unpaid overtime, you know.

I mean, the list goes on and on.

I just want to remind folks that you're listening to the Project Censored radio show on Pacifica Radio, and I am your co-host, Eleanor Goldfield, and I am speaking to San Antonio Current journalist Stephanie Coytan.

I wanna, I wanna get into some deadly connections here because I know that another thing that you've covered recently are data centers, which of course is, uh, you know, this is a local and national issue.

Parra Hernandez remains hospitalized in Houston, but under continuous guard by ICE agents.

Also on the subject of ICE and the terror they bring to Latino communities across Texas, Stephanie Coython at the San Antonio Current says San Antonio's longstanding Dia de los Muertos celebration at Woodlawn Lake has been canceled this year due to heightened concerns over aggressive federal immigration enforcement with event organizers citing risk of what they termed ICE terrorism.

Organized by Planet K Texas, the free annual festival and fireworks display was slated for November 2nd and has served as a 20-year community tradition.

In a statement announcing the decision, Planet K explains that the call was theirs alone and was not made lightly, emphasizing that they refused to gather families, local vendors, and artists under the threat of aggressive enforcement actions that could put those folks at risk.

The San Antonio Current wrote earlier this year that James Talarico, Democratic nominee for Texas' contested US Senate seat, got personal during an appearance on the Jamie Kern Lima Podcast.

When asked by Lima whether he has a girlfriend, the Austin politician revealed he did.

The question comes as online trolls have repeatedly questioned his sexuality.

... or the Express News made me the best radio host, or the San Antonio Current called me the best radio host.

I haven't kept that stuff.

Or when Texas Association of Broadcasters gave me three Katie Awards in a row for Best Sports Ca- or the newspaper wrote articles about me and my life.
