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.

200 Years of Blackface vs 1 Druski Skit | MiniPod Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

Viral-comedian Druski’s video mocking conservative women, particularly Erika Kirk, was spot on. It certainly caught the attention of viral-idiot Jake Paul, who mused on Theo Von’s podcast that he ought to do a blackface version of Druski’s skit.

Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers along with guest-host Errin Haines for a conversation about the white desire to do blackface.

Easter Came with War Threats | Angela Rye SoloPod Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

President Trump has made headlines across the world for doubling down on threats to “send Iran back to the stone age” and bomb ALL of their infrastructure: railways, powerplants, bridges, etc. Destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions (which apparently doesn’t mean anything anymore).

Even Conservatives like Tucker Carlson, Majorie Taylor Green, and nut-case-in-chief Alex Jones have expressed alarm at Trump’s threats. In today's episode, host Angela Rye takes us on a journey into the mirror world of conservative media, to see how they’re responding to Trump's war with Iran.

Iran has promised to retaliate against attacks on its infrastructure by attacking the oil and water infrastructure of neighboring gulf countries, which would likely cause a global humanitarian and economic catastrophe.

US Citizenship on the Chopping Block | NLP Replay Apr 05, 2026

From Birthright Citizenship to Balloon Boobs Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

What a week it's been!

On episode 125 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host, Brittany Packnett Cunningham.

Known for her prominent role in nationwide protests and policing reform, Brittany Packnett Cunningham hosts the hit show UNDISTRACTED, your weekly guide to the revolution. Vote for her in the Webby Awards below!

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:

Reparations Vote in the UN
General Michael Flynn gets a settlement from the DOJ
Kristi Noem’s Husband Caught Cross-dressing and messaging sex workers
IOC Rules Against Trans Women in Sports
Trump signs EO directing creation of a national voter list

It’s been a busy week in court for Trump: a federal judge said the ending of PBS/NPR funding was unconstitutional. Another Judge ordered him to halt construction on the White House Ballroom. Yet another Judge ruled that the Trump administration must restore legal status for thousands of detained/deported immigrants.

In addition, the Supreme Court heard arguments from the Trump administration this week to end birthright citizenship, the automatic granting of US citizenship to anyone born in the USA. Their argument centers around the 14th amendment, which was originally created to guarantee citizenship for formally enslaved African Americans.

What do we do when our favorite artists show conservative? Chilli, from the legendary girl-group TLC, was outed recently for donating to Republicans. She’s denied being “MAGA” but her online activity shows otherwise. How do we hold Black artists like her, Nick Cannon, Usher, 50 Cent, and others accountable without discounting what their work means to us?

Don’t Paper Over Icons | Angela Rye SoloPod Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

A promoter in Seattle was caught RED-HANDED covering a Black Lives Matter mural of Rahwa Habte with concert posters. Local community member (and our guest for today), Omari Salisbury, confronted him in a video that’s since gone viral.

Our host, Angela Rye, will talk to Omari about the confrontation, and why seeing Rahwa’s mural covered struck such a nerve, as part of the larger gentrification happening in his neighborhood.

Check out the original video: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWcPlQcAXgl/\

PLUS a state senate bill in Kentucky is threatening to end Kentucky State University as we know it, the state's only public HBCU. Kentucky senate candidate Charles Booker will join us to discuss this evolving situation.

This California Sheriff Has Lost His Mind | NLP Replay Mar 29, 2026

Show notes

California Sheriff, and candidate for governor, Chad Bianco, is chasing clout with Republican voters by launching a phony investigation into California’s 2025 election. He’s confiscated more than 500K ballots from his own Riverside county.

California’s 2025 election saw the passage of Prop 50, which redrew electoral maps in Democrats favor. The Sheriff says the confiscated ballots will show vote-count discrepancies. More likely, all they will show is how normalized undermining democracy has become amongst Republican candidates chasing viral fame.

Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Cari Champion, for this segment from episode #124 that aired on 03-26-26

Show notes

Solange’s son Julez Smith (21) was seen in a social media post on a date with reality star Tommie Lee (41). It has revived an age-old conversation: how young is too young? Is it any different for young men dating older women than vice-versa?
