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.

Native Land Pod

There’s a reason a tenth of all Black elected officials in the nation reside in the state of Mississippi. That reason: the power of community organizing. The recent Supreme Court decision on redistricting makes the need for that organizing all the more urgent, not only in Mississippi but throughout the nation.
 
 
 
This is a segment of the Native Land Pod Live Town Hall, which was held in Jackson, Mississippi on 05-20-26.

What Is It With Donald Trump and Black Women Reporters? | NLP Replay

On this week’s MiniPod, Angela and Andrew continue the conversation about what comes next.

Did We Disappoint the Ancestors? | MiniPod

On episode 131 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers field a listener question about whether it's worth voting when the ballot offers no candidate who actually represents her. It’s an especially potent question in light of redistricting, the recent Supreme Court gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and the chaos of states redrawing maps in the middle of an election cycle.
 
FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:
 
GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans laughed and said "yes, yes to that" while a radio host told Hakeem Jeffries to "get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia." Kiggans later claimed she didn't hear the "cotton-picking" line. Jeffries is calling for her resignation.
 
All six conservative Supreme Court justices attended Trump's state dinner honoring King Charles the night before the Louisiana voting rights decision dropped — a ruling that further guts the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
 
A new study found that people who regularly engage with arts and culture — reading, listening to music, visiting museums — may biologically age slower. The effect may even equal regular exercise.
 
A suit has been filed against OpenAI over ChatGPT's alleged role in the Florida State University shooting that killed two people. 
 
Trump is calling Black women reporters names when asked questions he doesn’t like. First he called Rachel Scott of ABC a “b**ch” and then he called Akayla Gardner of MS NOW a “dumb person.” How does one even respond?
 
Also, please join the All Roads Lead to the South event in Montgomery this Saturday! More information can be found here.

Is Integration Costing Black America Its Power?

What Nick Fuentes and the Met Gala Have in Common | MiniPod

On episode 130 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest Elie Mystal. 
 
 
 
Elie Mystal is an author, commentator, and the justice correspondent for The Nation. His fiery prose on the Supreme Court and legal issues writ large are unmatched, and in a seismic week for voting rights America, it’s a good time to welcome Elie home. 
 
 
 
The Supreme Court has fast-tracked their recent ruling which gutted what remained of the Voting Rights Act. They are allowing Southern states to change their electoral maps BEFORE the midterm elections, which will almost certainly dilute Black voting power. Our SCOTUS expert, Elie Mystal, weighs in. 
 

 
FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:
 
 
 
1. Primary Results in Ohio and Indiana test President Trump’s influence on Republican Primaries. 
 
 
 
2. The Detroit News caught a Michigan Senate candidate calling for intimidation at Detroit polling precincts. 
 
 
 
3. Trump’s Medicaid cuts are becoming a reality in Nebraska, where they went into effect on May 1st. It will be the first test of how many people lose their insurance due to new work requirements. 
 
 
 
4. Trump Praises the Confederate General, Robert E. Lee, and says that he almost won the Civil War. 
 
 
 
5. South Carolina State University rescinded an invitation to SC’s Lt. Governor Pamela Evette to speak at graduation. In response, South Carolina Republican officials threatened to pull SCSU’s funding. 
 
 
 
6. On Sunday, a federal judge reinstated New Orleans Court Clerk, Calvin Duncan. But then Louisiana won an appeal with the 5th US Circuit Court to keep Duncan out of office… for now. Calvin Duncan was democratically elected, winning 68% of the vote.
