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, Tiffany Cross, 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, Tiffany 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.

NLP Town Hall | MiniPod

Healthcare CEO murdered, China hacks US phones, Trump DOJ overreach, Syria debrief. 
 
 
 
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum process the recent shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The response to his death by the public has been callous, at times even celebratory. Our hosts dig into the reasons why. 
 
 
 
We’ve launched Stories from the Ground on nativelandpod.com, a place for you to share news and events with our NLP fam. Check it out! 
 
 
 
The Inspector General for the Department of Justice announced that Trump’s DOJ collected the phone records of members of Congress. We’ll get into what the report says and why it matters. 
 
 
 
More reasons to be careful around your phone: Federal Authorities have warned U.S. citizens about an ongoing Chinese hacking campaign. The hackers are harvesting metadata from major telecom providers (AT&T, Verizon, etc). What exactly are they collecting and what can we do? 
 
 
 
And finally, a debrief on the historic events unfolding in Syria. Syria’s 13-year civil war is over?? 
 
 
 
And of course we’ll hear from you! If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/
 
 
 
We are 691 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all!

90 Million Problems… | MiniPod

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum address the drone sightings in New Jersey and the reaction to them. What does this mystery say about the state of our national security, especially considering the very real threats that mainstream media is NOT talking about. 
 
 
 
Why is it that folks got all the time in the world for their lashes or their favorite TV show, but not for getting informed about the policies that directly affect them? Are people just dumber these days, or what??
 
 
 
AND how to keep your peace and sanity in an increasingly insane world; some tips on how to safeguard your mental health during a 2nd Trump term. 
 
 
 
And of course we’ll hear from you! If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/

Are You Tireddd? | MiniPod

Holiday joy, sunshine and pain. Safe spaces and getting deep with loved ones
 
 
 
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum share personal stories from the holidays, a time of year that can be full of joy and strife.
 
 
 
And we’ll replay a couple of our favorite philosophical segments: 
 
 
 
Is this show a safe space? What is our obligation as a show to create a safe space for ourselves and for the audience, and what does “safe space” mean, anyway? 
 
 
 
AND: is it safer, in life and in relationships with others, to go deep or to stay shallow? We all choose the moments where we reveal our depth to others, or even to ourselves. How do we make those choices?

We are 684 days away from the election. Happy Holidays y’all!

NLP Resolutions

Vote for Native Land Pod at the NAACP Image Awards: vote.naacpimageawards.net/#Cat901
 
 
 
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss Meta’s turn towards “free speech.” Mark Zuckerberg has decided to end Facebook’s fact-checking program. What are the real motives behind this pivot–more at play than just kissing Trump’s booty??
 
 
 
Monique Worrell was reelected as Florida’s Attorney General despite Governor DeSantis removing her from office in 2023 over political differences. Now DeSantis is cooking up yet another ploy to subvert the will of the voters and remove Worrell from office again. 
 
 
 
Americans are isolating at record levels. It’s so bad that the US Surgeon General has issued an official report on “the epidemic of loneliness and isolation.” What’s behind this epidemic and what can we do to re-connect? 
 
 
 
AND one of you asked: Where is the Black intelligentsia these days and what role do they have to play in our politics?
