Summary
On episode 128 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest Gary Chambers.
A mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, was one of the worst domestic violence incidences in recent history. A father of 7 killed his children and their mother, along with one other child. Our hosts are joined by Louisiana native, and civil rights activist, Gary Chambers, to discuss how to break the cycle violence.
FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:
1. During a Pentagon Prayer Breakfast last Wednesday, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, read a fake bible verse that’s actually from the Quentin Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction.
2. GOP Congressman Troy Nehls says Trump is “almost the second-coming” of Christ.
3. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (GA) says America “needs to be healed” after supporting a sex-abuser, Trump, for so long.
4. The Louisiana state House advanced a bill that would force unhoused people to choose between jail or a treatment program (rehab). If they choose treatment, they have to pay for it, and if they can’t afford to pay, they’ll be forced to do unpaid labor for the state.
5. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has shelved the SAVE Act in favor of other legislation that has a better chance at passing. The bill would have disenfranchised 10s of millions of Americans of their right to vote.
6. Tucker Carlson apologizes for “misleading people” about Donald Trump.
7. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted over their alleged use of paid informants to infiltrate white supremecist, and other extremist groups.
8. Virginia voters passed a redistricting measure on Tuesday, giving Democrats an advantage in the upcoming midterm election. 10 out of 11 available congressional seats are expected to go to Democrats.
