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.

ICE is Cold: Know Your Rights | Angela Rye SoloPod

If it feels like ALL hell is breaking loose…it’s because IT IS! Trump’s DOJ now has the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, under criminal investigation.
 
You may be asking what does this have to do with me and why should I care… this is another test for the Administration, a test of their ability to go after their political enemies. This is about the Fed setting the interest rate on market indicators and not wherever Trump wants it.
 
And by the way, The Fed cut interest rates THREE TIMES last year.

Trump's DOJ Opens Criminal Investigation into the Federal Reserve | Outtake

For the MiniPod this week, our hosts respond to one of your questions: what would America look like if Obama was never president? Policies aside–Obama was such a powerful symbol for Black America. His presidency also inspired a powerful backlash. Our hosts discuss the legacy of Obama and the symbolism of Obama as they ask: was it worth it?

What If Obama Was Never President? | MiniPod

On episode 113 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers try out a new rapid fire format. We heard y’all want us to get to more topics, well, here we go: 
 
 
 
For Your Situational Awareness 
 

Pastor Jamal Bryant catches heat for his wife’s dress? MAGA-coded CBS news anchor Tony Dokoupil bombs on his first day. Incumbent Tim Walz Drops Out of the Minnesota governor race. Trump accidentally gives Democrats their best ad for the midterms. War in Venezuela? What’s it really about? 
 
What the heck is happening with Venezuela?? Trump has declared that the United States is going to control the country. Whose interests does this supposed occupation serve, how did we reach this point, and where could we be headed? Random as they may seem, there is a throughline through all the global conflicts the US gets involved in… 
 
 
 
Is it AI-generated? Our hosts play a game to see if they can detect which video is AI. AI content and devices in general had our families in a chokehold this holiday season, especially our elders. How about you? Let us know in the comments!

It’s All About the Oil

On this week’s SoloPod, we mark the 5th anniversary of the attack on the US Capital building by a mob of Trump supporters–the infamous January 6th insurrection.
 
 
 
At the start of his second term, Trump issued a blanket pardon to the J6 insurrectionists, releasing them from prison. The pardons are a part of MAGA’s ongoing effort to rewrite the history of J6 and downplay the violent actions of those involved. Check out how the White House is “commemorating” January 6th: https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/
 

 
Today's guest is one of the Capital Police officers who defended the capital building and fought with the rioters. He testified to Congress about what he saw that day, wrote a memoir about his experience, and run for public office in Maryland. His testimony is vital now more than ever.
