  • A lot of strengths, one major weakness

    The conversations here are wonderful and fleshed out and relevant to the Black community for sure. Lately however Angela’s habit of interrupting, speaking over, or just disregarding the other two’s opinions and thoughts are becoming untenable as a listener. Even small interruptions such as correcting the pronunciation of “Colorado” disrupts the cadence of conversation for no point other than correcting someone for the sake of doing it. It’s seeming more and more like Andrew and Bakari are the on... more

    Native land is the crème de la crème of news! The cultural awareness and commitment to community engagement, empowerment, and elevation is just what we need. I love Angela, Bakari, and sorely miss Tiffany but as a rattler for justice I must say Andrew is my favorite.

  • Native land pod

    I love the show and hosts, it’s my weekly go-to for information on politics and culture. I do miss Ms Cross, I really enjoyed her perspective on most topics. Lastly, I think there needs to be a feel good segment, with so much negativity going on it would be nice to hear something positive. That being said, I’m definitely a BIG fan.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rooting for Everyone Black in the Primaries ft. Joy Reid
Q: Hey again, Native Land family. My question is about the Supreme Court. So every time that a case goes to the Supreme Court, I get nervous and very anxious because of a lot of the judges that are on the Supreme Court. So my question is, what is it going to take or what needs to be done to remove some of the people on the Supreme Court? And do you all think that that's even a possibility?
The hosts discuss impeachment, adding seats to the bench, and tightening ethics rules as potential paths, while highlighting political realities and the need for strategic democracy to address concerns about integrity and balance on the Court.
Everybody Profits From Black Culture. Do Black Men? | Angela Rye SoloPod
Q: What is your highest hope for how this data should be used at the local government level?
To adopt state-level and local commissions for Black men and boys, implement dedicated educational and workforce strategies, and actively engage communities to translate data into actionable programs that increase enrollment, retention, and economic opportunity.
Everybody Profits From Black Culture. Do Black Men? | Angela Rye SoloPod
Q: Given your background in political science, why is it important to bring data into conversations around policy?
Data grounding policy discussions helps move beyond anecdotal impressions to targeted, effective interventions; it also guides where resources and reforms will have the most impact, such as education, housing, and workforce development.
The Rise of the Working Class Candidate
Q: Can you explain the difference between Democrats, Working Families Party, and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)?
The Working Families Party is a grassroots third party focusing on everyday working people and building pipelines from local offices to federal representation, often using fusion voting where available to cross-endorse candidates. The party emphasizes practical majoritarian policies and broad coalitions rather than strict ideological labels; meanwhile, Democrats and DSAs are part of the broader political ecosystem, with WFP aiming to expand participation and address power imbalances, particularly in local contests.
From Presence to Power ft. Rashad Robinson | Angela Rye SoloPod
Q: What criteria do you use to choose where to show up and how to mobilize others for a campaign with leverage?
Robinson explains identifying campaigns with real leverage, using research, power dynamics, and a calculated approach to ensure that efforts lead to meaningful, winning outcomes.
