Democratic Lawmakers Attacked

Who Has the Right to Bear Arms?

On episode 116 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host Elizabeth Booker Houston, attorney, viral comedian, and public health expert @bookersquared. 

 

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:

 

– Alex Pretti Murdered by Federal Agents, Conservatives Divided in Their Response

 

– Representatives Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost Attacked, Conservatives call it “Staged”

 

– NLP Minneapolis Town Hall RECAP

 

– Senate Dems to Close Government Over DHS Funding 

 

– Kanye Apologizes (to everyone)

 

After Alex Pretti was murdered by a CBP officer in Minneapolis, conservatives in the Trump administration were quick to call Alex an assassin and a terrorist, in particular because he showed up to a protest with a gun. Hold up, so who’s allowed to carry a gun and who is not, because we thought y’all were supposed to be all about the second amendment?? They want some of us to have our rights, and others… not so much. The Black community is all too familiar with this phenomenon.
