What do you do when family members ask you for money? It can become a real problem, particularly if you’ve “made it” in their eyes, and they start hitting you up like an ATM. On this week’s MiniPod hosts Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum navigate money and family.

On episode 98 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum address the selective application of the first amendment, the right to free speech. 

 

Our first guest, Karen Attiah, was (until recently) an op-ed writer for the Washington Post. She was fired last week after writing a post on social media that said she wasn’t going to mourn Charlie Kirk, a white man who promoted violence and vitriol. She did not celebrate his death or condone political violence. The Washington Post fired her for having a hot take, which is LITERALLY HER JOB as an opinion writer. 

 

Our second guest is a White House Correspondent for AURN (American Urban Radio Networks), Ebony McMorris. In a viral clip, Trump refused to answer a question from Ebony during a press Q&A, and repeatedly insisted that she was “obnoxious,” reminiscent of previous incidents with Black female reporters like Yamish Alcindor, who seem to trigger the president simply by existing. Is this what the first amendment looks like for Black women? 

 

One of you submitted a question about Jimmy Kimmel which ties nicely into our theme today, and tied to all of it is the sanctification of the life of racist rightwing commentator, Charlie Kirk. There was a House Resolution honoring Kirk that passed this week which many Democratic lawmakers voted “yes” on, including those in deep blue districts. Representative Jasmine Crockett noted that there were only two white Democratic representatives who voted “no.” Is this the return of the Dixiecrats?

On episode 97 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum address Charlie Kirk’s murder AND the collective response to it. 

 

We are all in agreement that Charlie Kirk’s assassanation was gruesome and horrible. But can we also agree that pre-emptively blaming Black folks for it, sending death threats for criticizing Charlie, and Attorney General Pam Bondi promising legal action against “hate speech” is also gruesome and horrible? Our hosts talk about their personal experience with Charlie (and his supporters) and discuss the fallout from his death. This is not a right v. left issue y’all, this is racism, plain and simple. 

 

Sergio Hudson, renowned fashion designer, went viral after calling out “Black A-listers” at New York’s fashion week for skipping out on shows by Black-owned clothing brands, such as his own. He joins our hosts to explain why he felt the need to speak out and clarify the importance of Black solidarity at events like NYC fashion week.

On this week’s SoloPod, Angela Rye speaks with Michael Harriot about white-on-white crime. 

 

In the last few months we’ve seen Charlie Kirk murdered, children killed at Annunciation Catholic Church, and a Minnesota state lawmaker assassinated by a psycho in a Michael Myers mask. White-on-white crime is upending our politics and making people afraid to gather in public. Enough is enough. 

 

Read Michael Harriot’s data-driven piece on who commits the most political violence and hate crimes in the USA: https://www.contrabandcamp.com/p/are-leftists-coming-for-you-heres?r=c0yw&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true

 

When a Black person commits a violent crime it’s often spun to be a reflection on the whole community. Why don’t white folks get the same treatment? Angela asks Michael Harriot, award winning journalist and NY Times best-selling author for his book, Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America.

Afeni is an activist and community organizer based in Washington D.C. who was recently brutalized and detained by her city’s police just for filming. 

 

Afeni joins our hosts, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross to tell the story of her arrest and what federal control of D.C. means for the resistance to Trump’s crackdown. We get a peak inside the life of an activist and a critical perspective on the city’s current governance.

On episode 96 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum take a look at Kamala Harris’ new tell-all memoir, the possibility of a Trump 3rd term, and the extrajudicial killings by the U.S. and Israeli militaries. 

 

In Kamala Harris’ new memoir, she speaks candidly about her relationship with Joe Biden, his staff, and the 2024 race for President. She holds nothing back and our hosts speculate her criticism of Biden will NOT be taken lightly by the establishment.   

 

Trump has not explicitly said that he’s going to run for a third term, in violation of the 22nd amendment. However, his team is selling “Trump ‘28” hats, and he hasn’t ruled it out. Knowing Trump, why aren’t those in power taking this possibility more seriously? 

 

Israel tried to kill Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar (a close U.S. ally) while those leaders were meeting to discuss a proposed Gaza ceasefire, eliminating the possibility for peace. Meanwhile, the U.S. military blows up a boat in the Caribbean that the Trump administration claimed was running drugs without providing evidence. These extrajudicial killings undermine international law and American prestige. 

 

This is not the first time Israel has sabotaged U.S.-led negotiations with airstrikes, eliminating the possibility for peace and straining U.S. relationships with its Mid-East allies.

The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on I.C.E. this week, allowing agents to profile people for arrest based on things like speaking English with an accent, work location, and race/ethnicity.

 

On this week’s SoloPod, host Angela Rye is joined by attorney and political correspondent at the Shade Room, A.B., and the executive director of BAJI (Black Alliance for Just Immigration), Nana Gyamfi.

On this Native Land MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross are joined by the founder of Black-owned social media site FanBase, Isaac Hayes III, and TV producer Tamisha Harris. 

Black folks cannot be liberated until we control our own media. Social media companies are shaping the way we think, we need to have a conversation on how Black folks can mitigate the harm and boost the help on Black-owned platforms like Fanbase.

On episode 95 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum take us to D.C. for updates in the Epstein saga PLUS unbelievable statements of SUPPORT for Trump from D.C.’s mayor. 

 

A group of sexual assault survivors testified in Congress this week, the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghilaine Maxwell. Democrats have said that the government is complicit in Epstein’s crimes and that the blame goes “all the way to the top.” They have support from across the aisle in a rare moment of bi-partisanship. 

 

D.C.’s Mayor Muriel Bowser has had a change of heart when it comes to Trump’s occupation of the nation’s capital. She issued an executive order welcoming the federal troops and agents patrolling the streets to stay LONGER! Among other baffling details, the Mayor’s order calls for a “Safe and Beautiful Emergency Operations Center.” 

 

Rapper Cardi B kept it classy when the judge read the “not guilty” verdict in the civil lawsuit brought against her by a former security guard. She did lose her cool literally seconds after leaving the courtroom though… We’ll recap the trial that nearly awarded Emani Ellis 24 million dollars in damages.
