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.

SCOTUS Hears Birthright Citizenship Case

Chilli, Nick Cannon, and the Barometer of Supp

CTAs

What a week it's been! 

On episode 125 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host, Brittany Packnett Cunningham.

 

Known for her prominent role in nationwide protests and policing reform, Brittany Packnett Cunningham hosts the hit show UNDISTRACTED, your weekly guide to the revolution. Vote for her in the Webby Awards below!  

 

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:


Reparations Vote in the UN 
General Michael Flynn gets a settlement from the DOJ
Kristi Noem’s Husband Caught Cross-dressing and messaging sex workers
IOC Rules Against Trans Women in Sports
Trump signs EO directing creation of a national voter list

It’s been a busy week in court for Trump:  a federal judge said the ending of PBS/NPR funding was unconstitutional. Another Judge ordered him to halt construction on the White House Ballroom. Yet another Judge ruled that the Trump administration must restore legal status for thousands of detained/deported immigrants. 

 

In addition, the Supreme Court heard arguments from the Trump administration this week to end birthright citizenship, the automatic granting of US citizenship to anyone born in the USA. Their argument centers around the 14th amendment, which was originally created to guarantee citizenship for formally enslaved African Americans. 

 

What do we do when our favorite artists show conservative? Chilli, from the legendary girl-group TLC, was outed recently for donating to Republicans. She’s denied being “MAGA” but her online activity shows otherwise. How do we hold Black artists like her, Nick Cannon, Usher, 50 Cent, and others accountable without discounting what their work means to us?

Kentucky HBCU Threatened

A promoter in Seattle was caught RED-HANDED covering a Black Lives Matter mural of Rahwa Habte with concert posters. Local community member (and our guest for today), Omari Salisbury, confronted him in a video that’s since gone viral. 

 

Our host, Angela Rye, will talk to Omari about the confrontation, and why seeing Rahwa’s mural covered struck such a nerve, as part of the larger gentrification happening in his neighborhood. 

 

Check out the original video: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWcPlQcAXgl/\

 

PLUS a state senate bill in Kentucky is threatening to end Kentucky State University as we know it, the state's only public HBCU. Kentucky senate candidate Charles Booker will join us to discuss this evolving situation.

How Does ICE Impact Black Americans?

ICE at the Polls

Our very own Andrew Gillum hosts a town hall with Black mayors to discuss how local leaders are responding to federal actions (and inactions), and what protections cities are able to provide to their residents.

Federal law enforcement actions are ramping up within our cities, directly impacting Black and immigrant communities. Residents are looking to mayors for leadership and protection while cities face legal constraints, political pressure, and public scrutiny. 

The Mayors will speak candidly about what local power truly looks like in practice, where their power starts and ends, and what strategies are currently in use. 

Guests Include: 

Mayor Frank Scott of Little Rock, AR

Mayor Van Johnson of Savannah, GA

Mayor Leonardo Williams of Durham, NC
