Update from Tanzania

The Talk

Accountability for ICE

Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity. 

 

ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.” 

 

ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania. 

 

Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this week’s MiniPod!

Episode Rundown

FYSA Headlines

Don Lemon v. Nicki Minaj

Protest in a Church??

Our Aging Congress

CTAs

On episode 115 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest host, Don Lemon. 

 

Conservatives (including recent convert Nicki Minaj) are calling for Don’s arrest after he covered a protest that occurred inside of a church. We’ll talk with him about the incident and so much more… 

 

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: 

 

– Trump gives a deranged Greenland speech at Davos.

 

– Is Donald Trump Okay? Recent statements call his mental acuity into question.

 

– Minnesota Police Officers say they are NOT safe with ICE

 

– Why is the NCAA Football Championship team SO Old?

 

– Pro Palestine: NFL Player Fined

 

– Nicki Minaj Calls for the Arrest of Don Lemon

 

– How Dems Expect Us to React When They Cuss 





Is it OK to protest inside of a church? That’s exactly what happened earlier this week when protestors in St. Paul disrupted a church service. The pastor for the church is a field director for the local ICE office. Don Lemon covered this protest as a journalist and rightwing media is now calling him a criminal for it. That’s obviously bull sh*t but do WE think it’s OK to protest at church?? Our hosts debate… 

 

24 members of Congress are 80 or older, and many of them are running for re-election. We’ve seen politicians on both sides of the aisle (Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, to name a few) who continue to work and hold senior positions when it’s CLEAR they are no longer fit. Should there be an age limit for Congress? How to we foster and recruit youth?

We are 291 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all!

ICE Detains Americans and Targets the Press | Angela Rye SoloPod

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/89bfb671-5d61-47b2-8f2e-b3d801751674/transcript

On this MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are STUNNED by what Fed Chair Jerome Powell did.  

The chair of the Federal Reserve, which sets our nationwide interest rates, is under investigation by the Trump administration. A stalwart bureaucrat, Jerome Powell made a rare public statement about the investigation, claiming that it’s politically motivated, and an attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve. 

Let’s back it up, what does the Federal Reserve do again? Why is their independence important, and why are our hosts so SHOCKED by Jerome Powell’s statement?
