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

9/11’s 25th anniversary should be about the victims, their families, and reflecting on an event that altered the course of our history. 
 
 
 
Of course, Trump is using the anniversary to aggrandize himself, and Republicans–especially former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani–are furious at NYC’s current mayor Mamdani for attending the 9/11 memorial because Mamdani is muslim. 
 
 
 
Mamdani just released a report showing that NYC officials lied about how many toxins were left in the air following the collapse of the twin towers, toxins which killed thousands of people. No wonder Giuliani is so mad. 
 
 
 
Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 148 of Native Land Pod. We are 54 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all! 
 
 
 
FYSA HEADLINES

–A Missouri state rep nominee plots to plant cocaine on his Democratic opponent. 
 
 
 
–GOP officials in Oklahoma have been paying state prisoners –$2 an hour to make calls on behalf of a Republican PAC, the Make Liberty Win PAC. 
 
 
 
–A Black woman who fatally shot a white man in a North Lauderdale Walmart parking lot this Summer will not have files charged against her due to “Stand your ground” immunity.

Who is Telling the Truth about 9/11? Mamdani v. Giuliani

Rula Jebreal, Palestinian activist, called Rep. Hakeem Jeffries an "AIPAC Monkey" on a podcast. Rula is a woman of color who apologized profusely, but when you say "monkey," everything else you say afterward can't be heard. Author and journalist, Michael Harriot, tells us what to do when allies trip up. 
 
 
 
Before we get to Michael: BET Digital has deleted their archive of articles--years worth of reporting gone forever. Philip Lewis joins us to explain what happened.

Was Bakari Wrong About Angie Nixon? | NLP Replay

Apparently, we’re The Ops for supporting bipartisan politics...
 
 
 
On last week’s show, NLP defended House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries after he met with Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. As a leader, you have to talk to the other side. 
 
 
 
Many of y’all were calling NLP “bought and sold,” “AIPAC,” etc., and others had more serious critiques. We’ll respond to all. 
 
 
 
Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for a conversation about political tactics and bi-partisanship.
