Native Land Pod
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.

The Supreme Court just fast-tracked its latest ruling striking down a key part of the Voting Rights Act, opening the door for southern states to redraw their electoral maps BEFORE the midterm elections. The new electoral maps will almost certainly dilute the voting power of southern Black Americans.

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has called on the left to embrace MTG (Marjorie Taylor Greene), Candace Owens, and other MAGA who have disowned Trump. On its face, it might seem like a bad idea–MTG in particular has made racist remarks toward Omar on the House floor–but Rep Omar’s logic is hard to argue with. 34:50

After a politician has done something wrong, when do we say they are redeemed? When do we let them back in? Of course it’s different if it's a public figure like a politician vs. just a friend, but are there red lines where we never allow them back again?

Viral-comedian Druski’s video mocking conservative women, particularly Erika Kirk, was spot on. It certainly caught the attention of viral-idiot Jake Paul, who mused on Theo Von’s podcast that he ought to do a blackface version of Druski’s skit.

Even Conservatives like Tucker Carlson, Majorie Taylor Green, and nut-case-...
