Native Land Pod

In the spirit of the last stanza of the Black National Anthem, we rise from the past, rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral struggles, to build a home, to claim our space. On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum guide us through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis, unraveling the threads that connect Black Americans and marginalized communities to a place they courageously call home. In each episode, Angela, Bakari, and Andrew embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week and the country's road to the polls. Join us each week as we navigate the dance between past and present, weaving a narrative of hope, empowerment, and the unyielding strength that defines the journey to reclaim 'Native Land.' This isn't just news analysis; it's a movement, a conversation, and a testament to the power of those who dare to rebuild and redefine the meaning of home.    Talk to us: Angela Rye @angelarye Andrew Gillum @andrewgillum Bakari Sellers @bakarisellers

    Trump Just Gave Iran $300 Billion

    Trump’s deal to end the war with Iran includes MAJOR concessions. The U.S. lost the war and we have receipts for just how much it’s going to cost.    The Internet is outraged after Jay-Z and Roc Nation allegedly struck a deal with Target. Here’s the thing, that deal never happened...   Join hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum for episode 136 of Native Land Pod.      FYSA HEADLINES   1. Trump’s bday week: the reflecting pool turns green, transphobe fighters at his UFC event, and Iran gets reparations.    2. Ivanka Trump and Meta announce a plan to give every blind American vet a free pair of Ray Ban Meta AI glasses.   3. Austin Metcalf’s dad calls Karmelo Anthony “watermelon felon” during a long, racist rant after Karmelo’s trial.    4. A Federal Judge has ordered the reinstatement of exhibits and signs related to slavery and climate change.   5.

Meanwhile, a North Carolina commissioner says Juneteenth is “based on a lie.”   6. J.D. Vance gaslights the hosts of The View like a pro, after they ask him about the Trump administration's erasure of Black Americans.    7. A 1-year-old child is dead after police officers in Senatobia, Mississippi opened fire on a vehicle in a crowded Walmart parking lot.

    Banned Precincts, Raided Offices, Now THIS | Angela Rye SoloPod

    This week we're breaking down how extreme the attacks on voting rights and election interference have gotten, and the case studies that prove it's not slowing down.   Host Angela Rye sits down with students from North Carolina A&T, the nation's largest HBCU, who are leading the fight to restore on-campus early voting after Guilford County and the NC State Election Board pulled the site ahead of the 2026 General Election.    Board Member Prentiss Haney from the Ohio Organizing Collaborative joins us to talk about the organization's recent FBI raid and what it signals about the targeting of organizers on the ground.   Plus, Liban Mohamed, who is running for Congress in Utah, breaks down how the state is trying to build a case against him for violating Utah code 20A-3a-208 for assisting someone at the polls, despite him not being anywhere near the voting polls on voting day.  LINKS & RESOURCES   SUPPORT THE FIGHT; the Andrew Goodman Foundation is standing with AGF Ambassadors and the Protect Ours Movement to fund shuttles, student organizers, and the next generation of democracy defenders: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgoodmanfoundation/ https://www.youtube.com/user/AndrewGoodmanVideos   Liban Mohamed runs for Utah’s District 1: https://www.libanforcongress.com/ https://www.ms.now/news/liban-mohamed-mamdani-of-utah   N.C.
