iHeartPodcasts and Reasoned Choice

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.

America’s 250th Birthday Party: Are Black Folks Invited? | Minipod

Yung Miami’s “Spend Dat” is the hit of the summer, a song that glorifies scamming. Does music like this set a bad example for the Black community or do older generations just need something to complain about?
 
 
 
Plus, our hosts debate if the Democratic “big tent” is big enough for socialists after the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) takeover of NYC’s primaries. Will socialists sabotage Democrats in the midterms? Heads up y’all, this one gets heated! 
 
 
 
Join hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum for episode 138 of Native Land Pod. 
 

 
FYSA HEADLINES
 
 
 
1. SCOTUS finished this session with everything from Trump’s executive authority to birthright citizenship. Folks are asking why so many opinions at once?
 
 
 
2. 50 Cent will perform at Donald Trump Jr.'s members-only MAGA club on July 3rd. 
 
 
 
3. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announces the establishment of "The Office of Gun Violence Reduction." 
 
 
 
4. Former NFL star Chris Johnson on Good Morning America opens up about his ALS diagnosis. 
 
 
 
5. The Trump family’s crypto gains have topped $2 billion. That’s about the same amount of money that investors in Trump’s crypto ventures have lost.
