Episode 54: Election Night Reflections
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss the 2020 Presidential Election, which was happening while we recorded. We continue our discussion by pointing out the importance of voting in all elections. We also talk about the murder of Walter Wallace, Jr. at the hands of the Philadelphia Police, how the Trump Administration has used it for further fear mongering, and what it says about our country’s ability to always see Black people as threats—even when they are clearly suffering from mental illness.
