Week in Review 9/19/20 Let's Be Better

Welcome to Let’s Be Better! A podcast where we have the hard conversations about politics, minority communities, and our world at large. This week in review we will be covering the United State’s TikTok ban, Trump's 1776 Commission, and the whistleblower complaints against a GA ICE detention center. Then after that, we have the question of the week: “Why do we have the electoral college?” Thanks for joining me.

00:40 TikTok Ban

33:04 Whistleblower Complaint
50:19 Electoral College

(Also my cat was playing with a toy in the background so if you’re hearing some chirping you’re not crazy. I didn’t think my mic would pick it up, sorry)
