How the federal funding freeze impacts YOU. 

 

In a legally questionable move, President Trump has issued a federal funding freeze on all public loans, grants, and federal assistance programs. $3 trillion dollars were spent on federal assistance programs in 2024, money that helps fund universities, non-profits, small businesses, and local government grants. These programs touch countless American lives. 

 

On her first SoloPod, Angela Rye breaks down the far-reaching consequences of the funding freeze, identifying some of the more crucial programs at risk, and the legal challenges to the order itself.

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, Tiffany Cross, 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, Tiffany, 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.'

On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers talk about holding our elected leaders accountable. Not everyone who is Black is pro Black and we should call that out, BUT there are moments when we hold our leaders to impossible standards. We saw this on flagrant display with some of the critiques of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett after she announced her run for senate.

Episode Rundown

RIP Rob Reiner

White Evangelicals and Trump

Crash Outs and Sherrone Moore

Interview w/Brown U Student

CTAs

Marker 09

On episode 110 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers reflect on the life of famous Hollywood producer, director, actor, Rob Reiner. 

 

Tiffany and Andrew knew Rob, and all of our hosts were affected by his work ever since his first role as Meathead in All In The Family. We’re going to tell some Rob stories, and yes, talk about the shocking comments that Trump made about Rob and his wife Michele after they were found dead in their homes, with their son arrested on suspicion of their murder. How do the conservative Christians square this stunning lack of empathy?   

 

The coach of the Michigan University football team, Sherrone Moore, was fired recently for having a relationship with a subordinate. After he was fired, he had a pretty serious crash-out that landed him in jail. Our hosts share some of their most epic crash outs and discuss whether Moore’s affair partner should also face consequences from their employer. 

 

The shooting at Brown University last week left two dead, nine wounded, and the entire student body rattled. This one hit close to home; Angela’s godson, Efe Elaiho, is a freshman at Brown and was nearby the shooting. We’ll get a firsthand perspective on what it’s like to live through an event like this, the misinformation that flies around in the moments after, and what it’s like going through a school system where shootings have become tragically common. 

 

We’re trying to be better about getting to your questions and comments y’all, and we will get to one about patriotism today!

On this week’s SoloPod, Angela Rye is joined by Damario Solomon-Simmons to discuss Mother Fletcher’s passing. Viola “Mother” Fletcher was one of the last survivors of the Tulsa Massacre and (with Damario’s help) a powerful advocate for reparations. Damario walks us through the ongoing fight for reparations PLUS a call to action for your holiday season: capture your families oral histories. We’ll get some tips on how to be intentional about asking your elders about their past. 

 

You can pre-order Damario’s debut book, Redeem A Nation, where books are sold. 

 

Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons is a civil and human rights attorney, movement strategist, and author. He is the Founder and President of Justice for Greenwood and serves as legal counsel for the last known living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. His work prompted the first-ever U.S. Department of Justice review of the massacre, helped secure the City of Tulsa’s $105 million Greenwood Trust, and played a key role in restoring citizenship rights to Black Creek Indians. 

 

CORRECTION: Mr. Solomon-Simmons states in this episode that reparations have been paid by the U.S.A. to the "State of Israel." Mr. Solomon-Simmons has alerted NLP that that is not factual, he meant "Holocaust Survivors."
