DSA Candidates vs. DSA's Agenda

Hakeem Jeffires and other “establishment” Democrats have been working hard to distance themselves from the DSA platform. Here’s the thing: DSA candidates themselves don’t subscribe to the more radical parts of the DSA’s official platform. Is it fair to hold DSA candidates responsible for the DSA platform, and what is the messaging strategy for the general election?

NAACP's Role in Nolan Wells' Case

Where is the Transparency?

The NAACP has joined the legal fight in the case of Nolan Wells, the 18-year-old who went missing on the Fourth of July while boating with his all-white friend group off the coast of Mississippi. 

 

In a place like Mississippi, trust in local law enforcement can be threadbare. This is where organizations like the NAACP are crucial, to conduct independent investigations. Attorney Kristen Clarke brings this work to light, and updates us on Wells’ case.  

 

Host Bakari Sellers is joined by NAACP General Counsel, attorney Kristen Clarke.

DSA's Agenda vs. DSA Candidates

Professor Jason Arday

CTAS

Hakeem Jeffires and other “establishment” Democrats have been working hard to distance themselves from the DSA platform. Here’s the thing: DSA candidates themselves don’t subscribe to the more radical parts of the DSA’s official agenda. Is it fair to hold DSA candidates responsible for the DSA platform, and what is the messaging strategy for the general election? 

 

Professor Jason Arday was accused of plagiarism. After he was forced by his University to resign, he had literally hundreds of hit-pieces written about him in the press, in stark contrast to white professors in similar situations. He tragically took his own life on August 14th, 2026. 

 

Join hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum for episode 145 of Native Land Pod. We are 75 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all! 





FYSA HEADLINES

 

–The Federal government started a surveillance program targeting progressive groups and unions in Minnesota following the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

 

–The Trump administration will delete an anti-corruption database used to prevent rich individuals from money-laundering.

 

–A surrogate mother has fled to Texas after refusing to abort their pregnancy at the biological parent’s request. We’ll have more details in FYSA. 

 

–Northwestern University is ending its historic, 80-year-old program of African studies. 

 

–Actress Hayden Panettiere, best known for her role “Heroes” and “Nashville,” dies at age 36. 

 

–Trump’s new Attorney General Todd Blance is starting an initiative to restore felons’ gun rights.
