NFL Head Coaches and DEI

DEI in Hollywood

The narrative around DEI has shifted in Hollywood. We have white ladies (Sarah Paulson) saying that they’re not being given the same opportunities handed to their Black male counterparts (Sterling Brown & Courtney Vance). NO Black actors won at the Emmys despite multiple nominations. 

 

Mike Tomlin, one of the few Black NFL coaches, has some words of wisdom for how to refocus our DEI efforts.

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.

Rundown

FYSA Headlines

Surprise Guest

Trump Jr's Russian Oligarch Buddy

Chris Brown Controversy

CTAs

Chris Brown was honored with a congressional record at a concert in Dallas by Rep Jasmine Crockett and Texas State Rep Venton Jones. It has become a debacle after outraged victims of domestic abuse spoke out against Mr. Brown, who infamously beat Rihanna and other romantic  partners. Rep Jones has apologized while Crockett is standing on business–this is an excellent moment to educate about OPTICS (and talk about who deserves forgiveness).  

 

ProPublica has reported that Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding was secretly bankrolled by a Russian oligarch close to president Putin. Don Jr. and his new wife Bettina admitted to everything, and said they don’t understand why it’s a big deal... 

 

Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 149 of Native Land Pod. We are 47 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all! 





FYSA HEADLINES

 

The Supreme Court has blocked Trump’s plan to control mail-in voting through the US Postal Service. 

 

Elon Musk’s America PAC sets up a fake voter registration website to harvest data. 

 

Senator Mitch McConnell returns to the Senate looking like a ghost of his former self. 

 

Employees and CEOs from the big AI companies are saying that we need to pause AI development but Trump says we need to move full speed ahead.

When Honoring Chris Brown Becomes a Political Crisis

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/29355bcc-2144-47b4-91db-b4c70167cc11/transcript

Rep Bennie Thompson on Black Voter Turnout

Southern States Purge Voter Rolls

Millions of voter registrations have been removed from the rolls in Florida and South Carolina since 2022. In Florida, more than 2.3 million registrations were removed between 2022 and July 2026. In South Carolina, nearly 1.2 million registrations were removed between 2022 and 2025.

 

We’ll be joined by Chanae Jackson, Organizing Director for Florida For All, to discuss voter-roll removals in Florida and South Carolina, and what voters should know about maintaining their registration.

 

Christina Cue from the ACLU also joins us to discuss the voter-roll purges in South Carolina.

 

And we’ll be joined by Congressman Bennie Thompson, Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Institute, to discuss the CBC Institute’s Go Vote Initiative and its efforts to increase voter engagement and participation.
