Welcome home y&rsquo;all!

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.

Intro

FYSA Headlines

More Epstein Files

Republicans Defending The Ape Video

America's STILL Racist

Letters from ICE Detention

CTAs

On episode 118 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host Kevin Ortega-Rojas. 

 

You may know Kevin from his prolific social media presence, breaking news for more than half a million followers. He’s a writer, commentator, and host of HeresWhyKevin. 

 

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:

 

– Megyn Kelly’s Bad Bunny rant on Piers Morgan

 

– Kid Rock calls JZ was a “DEI Hire” 

 

– DHS and ICE chiefs (refuse to) answer questions at a Congressional Hearing

 

– Trump’s Tariffs cost American families $1,000+ in 2025

 

– Congress reviews unredacted Epstein Files and Ghilaine Maxwell testifies. 

 

President Trump brought in Black History Month with the now-infamous “Ape Video,” a clip he posted to Truth Social of the Obamas’ faces superimposed onto apes… The public was understandably outraged but NLP was not surprised, this behavior is nothing new for Trump, America, or Republicans. What never ceases to amaze are the skin folk (not kin folk) who rushed out to defend the president’s heavy-handed racism. 

 

Our hosts close the show by reading letters from the Dilley Immigration Detention Center in Texas, where young children are being held.

Bad Bunny Super Bowl Recap

Wes Moore Shut Out of National Governors Assoc

Vast Majority of People Arrested by ICE Have N

Host Bakari Sellers recaps Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, the Puerto Rican singer gave a performance entirely in Spanish against the backdrop of a brutal deportation campaign occurring across the United States. 

 

The Trump Administration has said from the start that deportations would target primarily violent criminals, and Trump himself frequently claims that they’re deporting “the worst of the worst.” The reality looks far different, as revealed in a report from the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. 

 

AND Governor Wes Moore suggests that racism is the reason why he was singled out and uninvited to an annual meeting of governors at the White House.
