Does political representation actually lead to real power for our communities? In this episode of Cite Your Source, Angela Rye is joined by former Florida State Representative Angie Nixon to break down the reality of political power versus people power. We examine whether changing who is in office actually shifts systemic control, what it truly takes to transform grassroots momentum into lasting, enforceable change, and who really controls American politics—the voters, the politicians, or the money.

Angie Nixon – Florida Leader & Former State Representative
Rep. Justin Jones – Tennessee State Representative (District 52)
Maurice "Mo" Mitchell – National Director, Working Families Party
Dr. David J. Johns – CEO & Executive Director, National Black Justice Collective; Editor, The Black Papers

Now that we’re past election day, it’s time to address some drama.

A content creator who we’re calling “Content Creator B” made waves on election week for claiming that Angela Rye got her disinvited from an Abdul El-Sayed watch party. This is a lie.

Content Creator B surfaced some old comments from Angela that folks understandably took as “elitist.” There’s accountability to be had here.

But where is the accountability for Content Creator B, who engaged in a campaign of harassment against Angela, and spread lies?

We’re setting the record straight.

Join hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum for episode 157 of Native Land Pod. We are 726 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all!

Now that election results are in, Haley Stevens’ decision to betray her party and endorse the MAGA candidate, Mike Rogers, for Michigan’s Senate seat is all-the-more laughable and confounding.

She endorsed Mike Rogers over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed at a Black church, the Perfecting Church led by pastor Marvin Winans. Y’all gotta stop letting them use our community as a prop!!

Angela Rye has some choice words for all involved…

Who really profits from the GENDER WARS? On this episode of Cite Your Source, Angela Rye investigates whether gender is being politicized as a distraction, the real history of non-binary identities, and if traditional gender roles still exist.

While data shows trans and non-binary people make up around 1.6% of the U.S. adult population, hundreds of millions of dollars are poured into culture-war messaging, political campaigns, and viral debates. With everyday issues like the economy, healthcare, and education topping national concerns, why has gender discourse taken center stage? Angela serves as resident fact-checker alongside an expert panel to separate manufactured outrage from reality, bringing the data, historical context, and receipts.

• Shaheem McLaurin – Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Therapist, and Mental Health Educator
