Native Land Pod — News
Native Land Pod

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.

Flock Cameras: Are We Trading Privacy for Safety? | Cite Your Source Oct 24, 2026

Show notes

Are Flock Safety cameras keeping us safe, or is AI-powered mass surveillance stripping away our constitutional privacy rights? In this episode of Cite Your Source, Angela Rye investigates how automated license plate readers (ALPR) are tracking drivers across America, the history of government surveillance and COINTELPRO targeting Black communities, and whether public safety justifies a digital surveillance state.

Together we explore who controls our data, unauthorized police searches, racial profiling risks, and whether cities can hold surveillance tech companies accountable.

Mississippi’s A.G. Says 1-Year-Old Shot by Police was Justified | Angela Rye SoloPod Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, and her office have cleared the Senatobia police of wrongdoing after one of their officers shot and killed a 1-year-old in a Walmart Parking lot last summer.

The A.G.’s office said the use of force was “justified” since the officer felt threatened, alleging that the child’s mother was in a vehicle driving toward them. The Senatobia police have not released any footage from the event.
