On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, 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.

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.'

Are Flock Safety cameras keeping us safe, or is AI-powered mass surveillance stripping away our constitutional privacy rights? In this episode of Cite Your Source, Angela Rye investigates how automated license plate readers (ALPR) are tracking drivers across America, the history of government surveillance and COINTELPRO targeting Black communities, and whether public safety justifies a digital surveillance state.

Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, and her office have cleared the Senatobia police of wrongdoing after one of their officers shot and killed a 1-year-old in a Walmart Parking lot last summer. The A.G.’s office said the use of force was “justified” since the officer felt threatened, alleging that the child’s mother was in a vehicle driving toward them. The Senatobia police have not released any footage from the event.
