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

In her new book, Love, Me, Tiffany writes about how she came home to herself.    Tiffany’s book is a love letter to Black women in the struggle. She sees some of that struggle in the recent drama between basketball star Klay Thompson, and his (former) girlfriend, rapper Meg thee Stallion.    Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with Tiffany Cross for this segment from episode #129 that aired on 04-30-26   If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   Welcome home y’all!    —--------- —--------- We want to hear from you!

    Who Deserves the Death Penalty? | MiniPod

    Host Bakari Sellers knew he was against the death penalty–until white supremacist Dylann Roof killed 9 people at the African Methodist Episocpal Church in Charleston, South Carolina during a bible study.    According to the Death Penalty Information Center, Black Americans are 7.5 times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder than whites. The Equal Justice Initiative has shown that for every 8 people executed on death row, 1 is exonerated. At times, maybe death is justice, but the administration of that justice is problematic, particularly in a racist justice system.    Our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari talk each other through complicated feelings around capital punishment.     Stay updated on James Broadnax’s case @justiceforjamesbroadnax on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justiceforjamesbroadnax/   If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.    Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

    The New Terms & Conditions of Black Voting Rights ft. Tiffany Cross

    On episode 129 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by the one-and-only TIFFANY CROSS!!    Renowned journalist, author, and former-NLP host, Tiffany Cross, rejoins the crew for a day to talk about the ongoing redistricting war AND tell us about her new book Love, Me.    The redistricting wars swung in the direction of Republicans at the Supreme Court this week. SCOTUS heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, and allowed Louisiana to redraw its electoral map, removing a majority Black district, and rewriting the Voting Rights Act. This bellwether case will probably inspire similar redistricting moves in other Southern states. Our hosts take a look at how this affects the midterms and Black representation in Congress.    The last decade of Tiffany Cross’ life has seen heartbreak and betrayal, moving through failed relationships at the same time her country turned its back on her. Her new book, Love, ME is a letter to Black women in a toxic country, career, and relationship. Find it wherever books are sold.  FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS   1. Fox News poll shows Democrats are favored on the economy for the first time in 10 years.   2. Gas prices are at their highest level in four years, according to the NYT and AAA.    3. Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by the Trump administration for posting a photo of seashells.    4. The State Department is finalizing a plan to put Trump’s picture on US passports.    5. 2019, Fox News host Pete Hegseth says he hasn’t washed his hands in 10 years.

    The Uncomfortable Conversation with Black Men

    On episode 128 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest Gary Chambers.    A mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, was one of the worst domestic violence incidences in recent history. A father of 7 killed his children and their mother, along with one other child. Our hosts are joined by Louisiana native, and civil rights activist, Gary Chambers, to discuss how to break the cycle violence.   FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:   1. During a Pentagon Prayer Breakfast last Wednesday, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, read a fake bible verse that’s actually from the Quentin Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction.   2. GOP Congressman Troy Nehls says Trump is “almost the second-coming” of Christ.   3. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (GA) says America “needs to be healed” after supporting a sex-abuser, Trump, for so long.    4. The Louisiana state House advanced a bill that would force unhoused people to choose between jail or a treatment program (rehab). If they choose treatment, they have to pay for it, and if they can’t afford to pay, they’ll be forced to do unpaid labor for the state.    5. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has shelved the SAVE Act in favor of other legislation that has a better chance at passing. The bill would have disenfranchised 10s of millions of Americans of their right to vote.    6. Tucker Carlson apologizes for “misleading people” about Donald Trump.   7. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted over their alleged use of paid informants to infiltrate white supremecist, and other extremist groups.    8.
