On episode 103 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are TOGETHER at a studio in Houston, Texas. Starting on November 1st, SNAP (food stamps) benefits will reportedly run out of funding, affecting more than 40 million Americans, or about 10% of the country. This despite the fact that the federal government could easily appropriate funds to continue the SNAP program through November. This is a result of the federal government shutdown which will soon be the longest shutdown in U.S. history. This shutdown is doing damage to American’s faith in our own government. With Democrats poised to take control of the House in 2026, what responsibility will they have to restore the trust deficit? And in the meantime, wtf do WE do?!? Our hosts discuss how to stand in the gap and support our communities even when the government won’t.

On this special SoloPod, Angela Rye and attorney A.B. Burns-Tucker (A.K.A. IAMLEGALLYHYPE) tackle California’s proposition 50, CA reparations measures, and answer YOUR questions. This episode originally aired as an Instagram live stream on 10-23-25. Proposition 50 seeks to redraw California’s electoral maps to give Democrats as many as 8 more seats in the U.S. Congress. It’s the only measure on the ballot for CA voters this November. Recently, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a reparations bill to create a Bureau for Descendents of American Slavery in California. There were five other reparations bills put before the governor by the CA legislature that he vetoed. Angela criticized him for those vetoes and caught some flack online for it , she will respond to the haters.

No Brakes Nu' is back after a two-week break — outside on his unc-tivities but locked in with real perspective. We open by honoring JB on the second anniversary of his passing — remembering who he was, the foundation he laid for this show, and the legacy behind his motto: “Get the A.” No settling. No half-effort. Full life.Then we dig into relationships and purpose: What does it really mean to be equally yoked vs opposites attract? Can you have different beliefs but still align in values and vision? The nuance matters.We also celebrate D'Angelo's life and influence, unpack Stephen A. Smith's political tap-dance and why the apology ain't enough, and call out the racist young Republican email scandal. Jackie puts us onto a heartbreaking but necessary Netflix documentary about racial violence and the pursuit of justice.And hip-hop got its flowers this week with an unforgettable Cash Money vs. No Limit moment — pure nostalgia, pure culture. No winners or losers… just classics, memories, Southern greatness, and two dynasties showing why we loved them then and still love them now.Legacy. Love. Accountability. Music. We're back — and we're getting the A, brick by brick. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Perfect Neighbor debuted this month as the #1 film on Netflix, bringing attention to Stand Your Ground laws through the story of Ajike “AJ” Owens. AJ was killed in 2023 by her neighbor Susan Lorincz, a woman known throughout the neighborhood as “The Karen." This documentary, told through police bodycam footage of the confrontations leading up to the horrific murder, is part of a movement for social change. On this MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum speak with the mother of Ajike Owens, Pamela Dias, and executive producer of the film, Takema Robinson. In honor of Ajike’s legacy, these two co-founded the Standing In The Gap Fund with a vision to transform grief into action and seek justice for those impacted by racial violence. Florida’s first-in-the-nation Stand Your Ground law played a key role in Ajike’s murder. Her killer researched the law BEFORE shooting Ajike and using it as her legal defense. Ajike, Takema, and SO many others are seeking to overturn the law that’s disproportionately used to justify murdering members of the Black community.

On episode 102 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by Charlamagne Tha God, host of The Breakfast Club, to talk about the controversy NLP stirred up with our “anti-intellectualism” episode last week. Our hosts also cover Trump’s grifting, a call for a general strike, and an update on threats to the Voting Rights Act. Trump is seeking $230M in damages from his own Justice Department for investigations into him, the 2016 Russia-election-interference investigation and the investigation into his handling of classified documents. Is it likely that he’ll actually get this money? The mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, has called for a general strike to push back against the actions of the Trump administration. He is the highest ranking public official to do so. We’ll hear his call to action and ask: what does it realistically look like for us to withhold our labor en masse? Are we ready for that?? Charlamagne Tha God has some criticism for our NLP hosts regarding the segment we did on Marc Lamont Hill, Queenzflip, and the Joe Budden Podcast last week. Charlamagne’s criticism mirrors many of the comments we’ve received. Our hosts respond to the critiques!

Native Land Pod hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are LIVE at CultureCon 2025 for a special conversation about where they see politics intersecting with creative spaces. PLUS questions from the audience. CultureCon started in 2016 as a small gathering of Black creatives in Imani Ellis NYC apartment.

Our MiniPod this week is inspired by one of your questions. Should we attend the No Kings protest? How do we maximize our political power through other methods besides voting? We’ll hear some personal testimony from Andrew about what it means to folks like Letitia James and Lisa Cook, and all the folks being unjustly targeted by the Trump administration, about what it means to see folks protesting the same system that’s grinding them down.

On episode 101 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers talk about Ignorance. Some Ignorant young Republican leaders had their group chat leaked, as reported in a recent Politico article. You are NOT going to believe what these 20 and 30-something conservatives in positions of power said when they thought they were in private. Their racist and violent rhetoric illuminates how young conservatives think and how these words become policy, see below– LA county has declared a state of emergency due to the ICE raids taking place there. The Trump administration is nabbing up green card holders and American citizens as they arbitrarily arrest anyone who LOOKS LIKE an immigrant (AKA brown)--a prime example of how racist words become policy. There’s a viral clip going around of Marc Lamont Hill getting yelled at for using “big words” on the Joe Budden podcast. Is this a sign of a broader anti-intellectual strain in our culture? Or do we need to keep an open mind toward folks who slander “intellectual” talk? California Governor Gavin Newsom rejected 5 reparations bills meant to provide the Black community with restorative justice. We’re showing the receipts and holding this supposedly progressive governor to account. He did approve 1 reparations-related bill… Politico Article - Racist Group Chats: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146 If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

On this special episode of Native Land Pod, host Angela Rye is joined by attorney for the Legal Defense Fund, Janai Nelson. Ms. Nelson joins us just after leaving the Supreme Court, where she argued a case which could have radical implications for the Voting Rights Act and redistricting across the country: Louisiana v. Callais. In 2024, Louisiana was found to be in violation of the VRA and was forced to redraw their congressional map. The original map created only one majority Black district out of six total districts, in a state where roughly 1/3rd of the population is Black. Ms. Nelson and the Legal Defense Fund argued in favor of the new map, which created two majority Black districts, in the Supreme Court back in March of 2025. The highest court has called them back to hear arguments AGAIN, a move rarely taken, except for with the most consequential of cases (Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board, etc.). If Louisiana’s original map is allowed to stand, with only one majority Black district, it would effectively gut the Voting Rights Act, and lead to a reduction in representation for Black people across the country.

On this week’s SoloPod, Angela Rye breaks down the charges against New York’s Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James, and connects them to a larger pattern of powerful Black women being unjustly prosecuted. SPEAKING OF DISRESPECT TO BLACK WOMEN, our NLP hosts called out Stephen A Smith last week for his comments disparaging Congresswomen Jasmine Crocket over her lack of “civility.” Stephen accused his critics, including our hosts, of attacking him without substance. Sir, these attacks have substance, and we are happy to explain. The Trump Justice Department has charged Letitia James with mortgage fraud, the same charge they’ve brought against Lisa Cook and other “enemies” of Trump. As New York AG, Letitia James successfully prosecuted the Trump family for financial crimes back in 2022 by showing proof that Trump over-inflated his net worth for tax and insurance benefits.

We are celebrating episode 100 of Native Land Pod!! With our hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, AND Bakari Sellers. Bakari joins as our fourth host of Native Land Pod! Like Angela, Bakari is the child of an activist, and similar to Andrew, he made history when he became the youngest South Carolina state rep back in 2006 (beating a 26 year incumbent). He brings his sharp wit, cutting political commentary, and sibling-like sass. Welcome Bakari!! Native Land Pod has launched a Substack for our 100th episode! Subscribe here and get exclusive access to our crossover show with Joy Reid: https://substack.com/@nativelandpod The federal government is becoming more and more militaristic in its efforts to deport millions of immigrants. In Chicago, they rappelled from Black Hawk helicopters into an multi-family building, going apartment to apartment and rounding up men, women, and children–including American citizens (later released). We are seeing Charlie Kirk-wannabes and Black organizations bearing white messages invade our HBCUs. How do we handle trolls and white supremacists coming on our campuses? Former LSU football star Kyren Lacy tragically took his own life last April after being charged with negligent manslaughter for causing a car crash.

On this episode, we dive into the controversial sentencing of Sean “Diddy” Combs—50 months behind bars for prostitution charges that don't match the time he received. We break down how he's being punished for allegations he was already acquitted of, and how the system is weaponizing public perception, power, and payback—especially after his lawsuit against the liquor industry. It's hard to sympathize with him as a man, but the legal injustice is undeniable.From there, we get into the ugly online feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B—two grown women dragging each other's children into the beef. We talk about how the industry used to keep kids out of it, and why this new era of low blows is disgusting.We also touch on the heartbreaking case of Trey, the young man found hanging at State University. The autopsy confirms he was beaten and strangled before being hung, disproving the lazy and insulting “suicide” claim.Then we look at ICE raids in Chicago, where helicopters and officers terrorized Black neighborhoods late at night, dragging families into the streets over warrants—another example of Trump-era policies resurfacing.On a lighter note, we lighten the mood with a conversation about sex and emotions—how good sex can create feelings that shouldn't exist, how emotionless sex can be toxic, and how negativity during intimacy can ruin the experience.We close with new music drops from Doja Cat, Blxst, and Leon Thomas—and a confession: Parker McKenna is officially my new celebrity crush. She's grown, fine, and grown again. I don't feel bad no more.Plus, the live chat was lit with audience takes all night. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On this week’s MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum are joined by the author who coined the phrase, “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome,” and host of Therapy for Black Girls: Dr. Joy DeGruy.

Or perhaps you’ve seen the back and forth between Serena Williams and Megyn Kelly over cotton plant decorations in a hotel lobby.

On episode 99 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum talk shutdowns, Bad Bunny at the super bowl, and a new directive from Trump to go after “domestic terrorists.” Republicans and Democrats are once again at an impasse on the budget, meaning the federal government is officially shut down. Democrats are making a stand over health care. The Trump administration is threatening to use the shutdown to enact more cuts and layoffs. Our hosts outline what’s at risk and predict what comes next. Puerto Rican super star Bad Bunny has been tapped to perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show amidst a direct assault on the Hispanic community by ICE and the federal government. It recalls Kendrick Lamar’s politically charged performance last year. Do these performances have an impact, and if so, what is it? Why isn’t the media covering NSPM-7? In what could be the biggest change to national security since the Patriot Act, President Trump has directed the FBI, the IRS, and other federal agencies to go after domestic “terrorists.” Non-profits that support progressive causes and shows like ours could now face terrorism charges for “fomenting political violence.” This is probably the biggest underreported story of the year!

Yet again we find ourselves on the verge of a Federal government shut down. The Democrats are staging a fight over expiring health care subsidies that could boost health care premiums for tens of millions of Americans. Trump and Republicans are refusing to negotiate. After a last-minute meeting between President Trump, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and their Republican counterparts, the shutdown looks all but certain. Angela Rye gets an update on the situation from Rep. Maxine Waters and Rep. Jasmine Crockett. With a special appearance from the founder of Win with Black Women: Jotaka Eaddy. Ms. Eaddy was honored with an award last weekend at a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation event, alongside Angela Rye.

Host, Dr. David J. Johns sits down with Jada Capri Ward—social justice advocate, performer, and co-host of the Relentless Love Podcast—to explore what activism looks and feels like for millennials and Gen Z. This is a conversation about being a "Zillennial" straddling two worlds, living with chronic illness while doing the work, and why our generation's digital organizing connects back to ancestral ways of resistance. Jada opens up about the fear, the fatigue, and why sometimes the most radical thing we can do is be still. Plus, she shares why leaders like Angela Rye, Brittany Packnett Cunningham, and Tamika Mallory are the "Angela Davis and Malcolm X" of this generation.

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 this episode of A Pod Named Kickback, Nu and Jacq pull back the curtain and share the real stories that shaped them—growing up in different worlds, facing loss, faith, and constant change, and how those experiences created the voices behind this mic. From Nu's journey of loss, resilience, and being different in a world that punishes difference, to Jacq's life as a military kid seeing life through many perspectives, the Kickback Convo gets raw and personal.Two hangings of young Black men in Mississippi that go unanswered and unexplored. Then we dive into the heavy lifting: calling out Charlie Kirk, boycotting Hulu and Disney, and refusing to let Trump act like a dictator who censors culture. We speak truth on Gaza and Israel—naming genocide for what it is, no matter how uncomfortable. The episode balances laughs with hard truths, and ends with a reminder: the truth can always be questioned, but it must always be told. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

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. And of course we’ll hear from you!

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. Want to ask Angela a question?

On this episode of A Pod Named Kickback, Nu' and Jacq dive into the wild mix of headlines and hard truths. First, we break down the killing of Charlie Kirk — from learning who he was, to unpacking his racist legacy, and why not everyone deserves a “rest in peace.” Then we pivot to the real struggles hitting farmers as tariffs and rising costs push them toward bankruptcy, and what that could mean for the rest of us. We also talk Young Thug's public apology, the leaked jail calls, and why sometimes private words shouldn't carry public weight. Plus, is Bud Crawford officially on boxing's Mount Rushmore after beating Canelo?All that, plenty more, and of course the brand-new drop inspired by Thugger himself: “Whoop-Dee-Doo.” Some things just ain't worth stressing — and we're calling it like it is. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

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.

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, Nu and Jacq kept it light(ish) with laughs, nostalgia, and a little mess. We kicked things off with the Petty Hall of Fame—what's the pettiest thing you've ever done? From there we compared the old Atlanta vs. new Atlanta (and how Nu saw the same shift from the old D.C. vs. new D.C.), from jumbo slices to Waffle House, from go-go nights to trap anthems.Then we got into the culture: Young Thug's court case, pillow talk gone public, and why snitching ain't always what it seems. We also debated Ciara changing her son's last name to Russell Wilson's, what it says about Future, and whether that's parenting or just bitter energy.All that plus plenty more Kickback energy. Pull up, pour up, and let's talk about it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

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. And of course we’ll hear from you!

From breaking down the amygdala to choosing purpose over pleasure, it all leads to Stoicism—mastering your emotions, living in the now, and walking the steady path to becoming your best self.We also get into the wild “WTF Story” of Trump's mysterious disappearance, the snitching chaos in Atlanta's rap scene and YSL trial, and how history shows it could spiral if egos go unchecked. Plus: Coco vs. Naomi at the U.S. Open, the new Magic City documentary, and why locking in for the last month of Q3 is the key to winning the fourth quarter.Tap in, Kickbackers—it's grown talk, real talk, and the mindset shift you need to finish strong. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On episode 93 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are forced to remind all of us that slavery was, in fact, bad. Fitness trainer and TV personality Jillian Michaels was on Abby Phillip’s CNN show recently making some wild claims about how slavery wasn’t that bad, wasn’t just committed by white people, and wasn’t actually that big of a part of the country’s founding because “only 2%” of Americans owned slaves… We have so many questions y’all–like why this person with no journalism or history experience featured on a CNN panel–but first we have to address some of her specific claims and misleading “facts.” We’ll hear from Nikole Hannah-Jones herself (the creator of the 1619 project). Our guest, Sherrilyn Ifill, gives American democracy a “D.” But, she says, our problems started long before Trump. She joins the NLP hosts to identify the weak points of our democracy and what building blocks might remain in a post-Trump era. Then, a deep dive into how integration led to the draining of public funds, and whether or not the courts will hold as a co-equal branch of government. Ms. Ifill is a renowned civil rights lawyer and scholar who served as the President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. Besides her many scholastic accolades, Ifill was also named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine.

Angela Rye is joined by Texas State Representative Nicole Collier LIVE from the state house floor. The Texas House Speaker has directed state troopers to follow Democratic representatives, the ones who fled the state to quash a vote on redistricting earlier this month, until they vote on new electoral maps later this week. For refusing this Republican surveillance, Rep Collier has been detained on the house floor, where she’s been told she must remain until the vote is held, or she accepts police escort. She could be locked in for two whole days. Want to ask Angela a question? Subscribe to our YouTube channel to participate in the chat. Welcome home y’all! —--------- We want to hear from you!

On this week’s MiniPod, our host Tiffany Cross has a story to tell Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum. Tiffany almost got into a fight on a cable news roundtable. We have some juicy behind the scenes details that segues into a surprisingly intellectual conversation about working in media while Black (spoiler alert: the Karens are everywhere). In addition, the hosts answer one of your questions about voter registration. There’s a connection to the redistricting wars, the Shelby vs. Holder Supreme Court decision, and the shockingly recent history of voter suppression.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum would be remiss not to address the crackdown happening in our nation’s capital. The residents of Washington D.C., a city with more than 40% Black residents, are under siege. We hav reports from the ground of federal agents rolling out in overwhelming force and literally showing up on folks’ doorsteps. Trump’s stated goal is to crack down on “crime,” homelessness, and teenagers. Our hosts watch some clips and discuss, featuring friends of the show, Ty Hobson-Powell and Elizabeth Booker Houston. Then an update on the redistricting wars with Rep. Veasey (TX-33), Rep. Cleaver (MO-5), and State Rep Jones (TX-147). Texas Governor Abbot has said he will end the special session he called to redraw Texas’ electoral maps, which Texas Democrats fled the state to protest. What happens next? Will the Texas Dems be apprehended by the FBI? Do they have a path to victory in Texas or is the strategy mutually assured destruction (looking at you California)? We get the facts from the source. Did you know that the Democratic Republic of the Congo supplies much of the world’s cobalt, a vital mineral that helps power your smart phone? While this critical resource should be making the country fabulously wealthy, it has instead been a major driver of violence and exploitation. As promised, Tiffany Cross delivers a report on the DRC after her recent trip there. TAKE OUR SURVEY, WIN A PRIZE!

On this week’s MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum gotta talk more about redistricting. Trump is putting pressure on Republican-controlled states to redraw their electoral maps in order to give Republicans more seats in congress, an anti-democratic practice known as gerrymandering. This practice typically undercuts the representation of the Black community and others, reducing political influence on a state and national level. Our hosts dig into the mechanics of how electoral maps are created, what the rules are now, and what they could be.
