- 36 minutes 10 secondsWhere Are the REAL Allies? | Angela Rye SoloPod
With the Voting Rights Act in tatters, will corporate America reaffirm their commitment to our right to vote? The Congressional Black Caucus thinks they might…
Our second guest, Congressman Jonathan Jackson of Illinois’ 1st district, is calling on Costco, Microsoft, John Deere, Apple, Ford, McDonalds, and others to do more.
Our first guest is Maryam Jazini Dorcheh, Senior Director of Litigation for Common Cause, and one of the lead attorneys challenging Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund.
Trump is setting up a $1.7 billion fund to compensate “victims” of President Biden’s so-called “lawfare,” including folks convicted of crimes related to January 6th. Some Republicans have spoken out against the fund, which faces legal challenges.

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.

29 May 2026, 11:00 am - 1 hour 16 minutesWhat Do I Get For My Vote?
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.
