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.

The SCORE Act Does More Damage to Athletes than the SEC Boycott! | MiniPod May 29, 2026

Show notes

Black college athletes have been asked by the NAACP to boycott—to refuse to play for teams in Southern states that support redistricting, particularly SEC teams. Meanwhile, the Score Act threatens Black college athletes' right to profit from their NIL (name-image-likeness), showing us exactly why we need this boycott. Our hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum explain everything you need to know about the SEC boycott, NIL, and the Save Act.

What Do I Get For My Vote? May 28, 2026

Show notes

On episode 133 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers ask: if Democrats get the majority after this year’s midterms, then what?

We’ve seen Democrats win the senate, the house, and the presidency––and they still couldn’t protect the right to vote (or get an abortion) from future Republican administrations. In this midterms, what will we get for our vote? We need an agenda.

Folks are saying that Texas senate candidate James Talarico has the best chance to flip a Texas senate seat blue in decades, with his opponent, Ken Paxton, covered in scandals. Our hosts are less optimistic and have some advice for Mr. Talarico…

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:

Some good news in the ongoing redistricting wars in South Carolina & Alabama, where proposed maps benefiting Republicans have been blocked.
Meanwhile, in Florida, a new electoral map moves forward…
GA State Senator Rashaun Kemp has called on Georgians to protest redistricting in Georgia at the World Cup game. STAY UPDATED by following Sen. Kemp: https://www.instagram.com/rashaunforgeorgia/?hl=en
The Supreme Court has allowed coach Brian Flores to sue the NFL for discriminating against Black coaches.
Mike Duggan has dropped out of the Michigan governor race. The independent candidate and former Detroit Mayor said he “got into this race to change our politics, not to be a spoiler.”
Texas congressman Al Green has lost his primary race to fellow Democratic congressman Christian Menefee, after Texas’ redistricting combined his and Menefee’s districts into one.

The recent Supreme Court decision on redistricting makes the need for that organizing all the more urgent, not only in Mississippi but throughout the nation.
