The narrative around DEI has shifted in Hollywood. We have white ladies (Sarah Paulson) saying that they’re not being given the same opportunities handed to their Black male counterparts (Sterling Brown & Courtney Vance).

Chris Brown was honored with a congressional record at a concert in Dallas by Rep Jasmine Crockett and Texas State Rep Venton Jones. It has become a debacle after outraged victims of domestic abuse spoke out against Mr. Brown, who infamously beat Rihanna and other romantic partners. Rep Jones has apologized while Crockett is standing on business–this is an excellent moment to educate about OPTICS (and talk about who deserves forgiveness). ProPublica has reported that Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding was secretly bankrolled by a Russian oligarch close to president Putin. Don Jr. and his new wife Bettina admitted to everything, and said they don’t understand why it’s a big deal... Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 149 of Native Land Pod. We are 47 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all! FYSA HEADLINES The Supreme Court has blocked Trump’s plan to control mail-in voting through the US Postal Service. Elon Musk’s America PAC sets up a fake voter registration website to harvest data. Senator Mitch McConnell returns to the Senate looking like a ghost of his former self. Employees and CEOs from the big AI companies are saying that we need to pause AI development but Trump says we need to move full speed ahead.
