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.

Our host Bakari went viral last week for comments he made about Angie Nixon. Are these content creators twisting Bakari’s words to fit their narrative? Or does our host need to be checked? We’ll have influencer Nikki Freestyle on for a friendly debate.

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.

How Not to Be the Ops | Angela Rye SoloPod

Hakeem Jeffires and other “establishment” Democrats have been working hard to distance themselves from the DSA platform. Here’s the thing: DSA candidates themselves don’t subscribe to the more radical parts of the DSA’s official platform. Is it fair to hold DSA candidates responsible for the DSA platform, and what is the messaging strategy for the general election?
