It’s March MADNESS: From Basketball to Ballots | Native Land Pod 124

Описание: On episode 124 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by friend-of-the-show, Cari Champion!

Cari Champion is a broadcast journalist, co-host of Flagrant and Funny with Jemele Hill, and host of NAKED with Cari Champion on Black Effect.

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:

1. Trump admonishes Congress to pass the SAVE Act, “Do it for Jesus.”

2. Breonna Taylor’s mom criticizes DOJ’s request to dismiss charges against officers

3. Afroman wins defamation lawsuit.

4. Syracuse loses to UConn, Syracuse Head Coach Complains.

5. United Airlines Announces a new ticket-level for “relax row” (it sucks)

6. Delta Airlines suspends perks for members of Congress over airport delays

There is a connection between the manufactured chaos at our airports, Project 2025, and Trump’s efforts to manipulate the midterm elections. Far-right strategist and conspiracy-podcast host, Steph Bannon, has said the quiet part out loud: ICE is being groomed to police the polls. The viral propaganda that Bannon pushes has empowered folks like CA Sheriff Chad Bianco to pursue phony election investigations; he’s confiscated hundreds of thousands of ballots that will be used to produce more conspiracy content, and boost the sheriff’s gubernatorial campaign.

Meanwhile, Republicans struggle to pass the SAVE Act, which would curtail millions of Americans' right to vote, and the Supreme Court seems ready to put restrictions on mail-in ballots. If voting weren’t important, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to keep you from doing it!

The show ends on a lighter note, our hosts share their brackets for March Madness, college basketball.
