25th Anniversary of 9/11

NYC Lied About Toxins After 9/11

CTAs

9/11’s 25th anniversary should be about the victims, their families, and reflecting on an event that altered the course of our history. 

 

Of course, Trump is using the anniversary to aggrandize himself, and Republicans–especially former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani–are furious at NYC’s current mayor Mamdani for attending the 9/11 memorial because Mamdani is muslim. 

 

Mamdani just released a report showing that NYC officials lied about how many toxins were left in the air following the collapse of the twin towers, toxins which killed thousands of people. No wonder Giuliani is so mad.  

 

Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 148 of Native Land Pod. We are 54 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all! 

 

FYSA HEADLINES

 

–The White House has released a series of arcade games, including one called “Rio Run” where you play as a border patrol agent and collect migrants.

 

–Confusion over what electoral map Missouri will use just weeks before ballots go out. 

 

–A Missouri state rep nominee plots to plant cocaine on his Democratic opponent. 

 

–GOP officials in Oklahoma have been paying state prisoners $2 an hour to make calls on behalf of a Republican PAC, the Make Liberty Win PAC. 

 

–A Black woman who fatally shot a white man in a North Lauderdale Walmart parking lot this Summer will not have files charged against her due to “Stand your ground” immunity.

 

–A woman brings a great dane as a “service animal” onto an airplane.
