   Episode 14 • L3 IRL • Kimberly

   Meet Kimberly Rossini — Macoupin County Board District 5 “I’m Kimberly Rossini, and I am running for Macoupin County Board because I believe that every individual should feel represented in District 5. I am ready to listen to what issues matter to you and to advocate on your behalf.” We recently sat down with Kimberly to talk about some of the issues that matter to all of us here in Macoupin County, what inspired her to run for County Board, and what she hopes to bring to the role. Kimberly is a lifelong Macoupin County resident and a Gillespie High School graduate. She went on to attend the University of Illinois before earning her law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law. Her connection to her community has remained a consistent part of her life. While in college and law school, Kimberly worked for a local factory and completed pro bono legal work for the Macoupin County Public Defender’s Office. After law school, she substitute taught for Gillespie C.U.S.D. while studying for the bar exam. Kimberly has worked as an attorney for the State of Illinois since 2010, serving in a variety of roles that have given her experience in law, government, and public service. She and her husband, Jarrod, have been raising their family in District 5 since 2011. Kimberly has also given back to her community through service on the boards of the Friends of the Gillespie Public Library and the Locust Street Resource Center. For Kimberly, running for County Board is another way to serve the community she has called home throughout her life. We appreciate Kimberly taking the time to sit down with us and talk about her background, her decision to run, and the issues that matter to the people of District 5 and Macoupin County.

   Episode 13: Andi

   𝗡𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬 𝟮,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗗 𝗨𝗣. 𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗢𝗡𝗘. In February, Andi Smith stood alone in the cold in Edwardsville with a protest sign. Then someone walking their dog stopped. The next day, more people joined. And they kept coming. Now, that one-person protest has grown into a weekly Friday gathering—and nearly 2,000 people showed up for the latest No Kings event. She's been talked about by our Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and he counts her as an inspiration. Rachel Maddow has also mentioned the Edwardsville protest on her talk show. 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗱𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗿: “𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝗗𝗢 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁!” So she did. We sat down with Andi to talk about activism, community, protest, and what can happen when one person decides to show up—and keeps showing up. This is the FULL EPISODE with Andi Smith. Get cozy - its an hour long, in- depth conversation with our "small town famous" hero. Turn it up. Let’s go. 💙 #LeftLeaningLadies #AndiSmith #PeoplePower #CommunityAction #Activism

   Ep 11.2 • Left Leaning Ladies IRL: Chi

   PART 2 IS OUT TODAY. And this one is deeply personal. Grief. Loss. Love. Strength. This is a conversation we need to have more openly. Chi Pelo shares a raw, unfiltered look at suicide, men’s mental health, and the profound impact a loss like this can have on the people who remain. The questions. The memories. The love. The grief that can change shape but never simply disappears. This isn’t an easy conversation. But it’s an important one. Thank you, Chi, for trusting us with your story and for being so honest about something that can be incredibly difficult to talk about. Watch Part 2. Listen with an open heart. Check in on the people you love. We don’t have to have all the answers to start talking.

   Ep 11. 1 • Left Leaning Ladies IRL: Chi

   Speaking up in a small town can come with a price. Chi Ebert Pelo knows that price. In a small community, everybody knows everybody. And when you decide to stand up against racism, homophobia, injustice, and hate, suddenly everybody has an opinion about you, too. Chi has never been afraid to speak up. During COVID, she was a voice of reason when people desperately needed one. She stood loudly and unapologetically with the Black Lives Matter movement. She has challenged racism and homophobia and offered comfort and guidance to people who needed someone willing to say, this is not okay. But there is another side to Chi's story. She has survived some of the worst challenges a human being can face—and she's finally ready to talk about them. LLL Episode 11 is OUT NOW. This is Part 1 of a conversation you won't forget. Part 2 drops next week. Same time. Same place. Press play. You may never look at small-town resistance—or the people doing it—the same way again. #LeftLeaningLadies #LLL #SmallTownResistance #RuralResistance #SpeakUp #BelieveWomen #BlackLivesMatter #StandUp #UseYourVoice

   Episode 12: The Governor & The Ladies 🎙️💗💙

   Okay, y’all… THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Standing in tiny Mt. Olive, Illinois, right in front of that BIG BLUE BUS, we got to interview Governor JB Pritzker. We had five questions—about voter energy, staying fired up on the hard days, protecting women’s rights, supporting immigrant families in rural Illinois, and what he wants small-town organizers to know. And he took the time to answer every single one.It was a thrill for all of us—and honestly, one of those “is this really happening?!” moments we won’t forget. Governor Pritzker and his staff could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. They made space for rural voices, rural women, and rural organizers to be part of the conversation. And that means a lot. Here’s our conversation with Governor Pritzker. 🩷 #LeftLeaningLadiees (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/leftleaningladiees?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #JBPrItzker (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/jbpritzker?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #GovernorPritzker (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/governorpritzker?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #Illinois (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/illinois?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #IllinoisPolitics (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/illinoispolitics?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #RuralIllinois (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/ruralillinois?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #RuralVoices (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/ruralvoices?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #RuralWomen (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/ruralwomen?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #SmallTownOrganizers (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/smalltownorganizers?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #WomenInPolitics (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/womeninpolitics?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #ProgressiveWomen (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/progressivewomen?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #IllinoisDemocrats (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/illinoisdemocrats?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #DemocracyInAction (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/democracyinaction?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #RuralOrganizing (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/ruralorganizing?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #LLL (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/lll?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R) #BlueBusTour (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/bluebustour?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZbOd4SEI1JKj8-_2sNUBiONVumPOz_UvamfGB9FGGiMv0Tsj3V5M2ngkPcDxEo_CF_rSjfKECbePVglYqurz1V7q8yf9fAcBUmEJPk_Sasvn3Vgefdo86B-0pVtvJrTqRS6RmyockuAyKh9xR99ul6sAIOxGtczEaQVZtUFDtOUAw&__tn__=*NK-R)

   Episode 9: The Manosphere Problem 🚩

   This week, we’re going deep into the manosphere, misogyny, feminism, and raising better boys. We’re talking Andrew Tate, the rise of the “trad wife,” toxic masculinity, emotional intelligence, bullying, and the messages boys are absorbing about what it means to be a man. But underneath all of it is one big question: What happens when we teach boys that empathy is strength instead of weakness? And maybe an even bigger one… What’s ONE thing you wish someone had taught you about masculinity, emotions, or relationships when you were growing up? Drop your answer in the comments. We want to hear from you! #LeftLeaningLadies (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/leftleaningladies?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #LLL (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/lll?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #Episode9 (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/episode9?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #Manosphere (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/manosphere?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #Misogyny (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/misogyny?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #RaisingBetterBoys (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/raisingbetterboys?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #EmotionalIntelligence (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/emotionalintelligence?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #TeachBoysBetter (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/teachboysbetter?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #Feminism (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/feminism?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R) #ToxicMasculinity (https://business.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/toxicmasculinity?__eep__=6%2F&__cft__[0]=AZZOvozvZaTCtai9EFxtnUjNGb2TwuTfRSk7WYjbdU24XWBzyO0z722DT6QWHdoClBOdt42Je7C-_exFxtggoqCJue2GnIzUA9FNwGArwpMx5gSsjkBEz8iMGTsyXGrt-6BNVlmGu682mWDNUaMcZj2yf0E10H0jGzS1PeIYFmBPgw&__tn__=*NK-R)

   Episode 8: Believe Women ✊

   Some stories are difficult to hear. They're even harder to live. This week's episode of Left Leaning Ladies takes on some of the most important conversations happening right now. We discuss the congressional hearing involving Todd Blanche and the continued fight of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors to be heard. We talk about Graham Platner and the broader questions of accountability, justice, and what happens when women come forward with their stories. Then, one of our own shares something deeply personal. She opens up about her experience of leaving an abusive partner—the fear, the uncertainty, and the reality that walking away is often far more complicated than people imagine. If you've ever asked, "Why didn't she just leave?" this conversation may change your perspective. At Left Leaning Ladies, we believe survivors deserve to be heard, supported, and treated with dignity. We hope this episode encourages empathy, challenges assumptions, and reminds us that behind every headline is a real person whose life has been forever changed. 🎙️ Join us for an honest conversation about survival, accountability, and why listening matters. Content note: This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse and sexual abuse. #LeftLeaningLadies #BelieveTheWomen #ListenToSurvivors #DomesticViolenceAwareness #JusticeForSurvivors #Podcast #WomenSupportingWomen

   Episode 7: Come for the Protest, Stay for the Friend Group 📣💕

   This week we're talking about our fears... and, of course, laughing our way through them. Sometimes you just need a good conversation with women who get it. If you don't have a group of friends to shoot the shit with, volunteer. That's how we found each other—through protesting, volunteering with our local Democrats, Indivisible and showing up for our community. We never expected to find lifelong friendships, but now we can't imagine life without one another. Sometimes activism gives you more than a cause. It gives you your people. 💗💗💗 #LeftLeaningLadies #WomenInPolitics #FindYourPeople #CommunityMatters #Volunteer #Indivisible #Democrats #ProgressiveWomen #RuralResistance #WomenSupportingWomen #Grassroots #CivicEngagement #FriendshipGoals #Democracy #Podcast]

   Episode 6: Whimsy & Weirdness 🔮✨

   This week we're diving into the comment section—the funny, the confusing, the frustrating, and the downright bizarre.

    Episode 4: Small Acts. Big Resistance. ✊💗

    Small acts of resistance add up. ✊💗 In rural America, resistance doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like neighbors helping neighbors. Supporting local businesses that align with your values. Organizing around food insecurity. Funding Free Laundry Days. Showing up for your community in ways big and small. In this episode, we talk about the power of grassroots action and community care with voices from Montgomery County Indivisible and Macoupin County Indivisible — highlighting efforts like Project Third Day Panhandle, which provides take-home food bags for local kids over long weekends, and ROSC Free Laundry Days, helping neighbors access clean clothes with dignity. Chelsa also talks about the importance of supporting local businesses rooted in compassion, inclusion, and integrity — because every purchase, every conversation, and every decision to support good people in our communities matters. Sometimes all it takes is one idea and people willing to organize around it to create real change. Left Leaning Ladies also made a $100 donation to support ROSC Free Laundry Days because community care matters. We are not affiliated with these organizations.

    Episode 2.2: This Episode Got Weird Fast.

    🎙️ LLL Podcast – Episode 2, Part 2 is here! And yes… it gets even more interesting 😏 In this episode, we’re unpacking everything from the wild misunderstandings about Sharia law, to the phenomenon of women going all-in for Trump, to a few very dedicated older men who apparently can’t stop thinking about us… even on vacation 🏖️ 🍸 We’re also taking a look at some of our most popular posts so far — the ones that really got people talking (for better or worse 👀) It’s part commentary, part reality check, and part “how is this even real life? Press play, join the conversation, and as always — we’re keeping it honest, a little spicy, and unapologetically us 💙

    Episode 2.1: They Were Mad About...Charity??? 💀

    This week, we’re diving straight into the comment section… and whew, y’all didn’t hold back 😅 From protesting ✊ to dancing 💃 to literally donating to our local food pantry — somehow, that’s all controversial now. MAGA has a lot to say about what we do, and in this episode, we’re reading their comments out loud and unpacking the wild, the weird, and the “did they really just say that?” Spoiler: they did. Pull up a seat, press play, and come laugh (and maybe shake your head) with us as we sort through the noise and keep doing what we do best 💙

    Episode 1: They Called Us ‘Radical’… So We Hit Record.

    If being loud, informed, and unapologetic makes us “radical”… good. Turn it up. Welcome to Left Leaning Ladies —where the takes are hot, the comments are unhinged, and apparently… we’re “radical left scum.” We’re your hosts — content creators, comment readers, and full-time disappointments to internet trolls everywhere. This is the show where we scroll so you don’t have to. Where we dig through the same recycled memes, the same tired insults, and the same copy-paste outrage…and somehow still find a way to laugh about it. We’re talking: — what it’s actually like to be a woman online — why trans people existing still breaks the internet — how “free thinkers” keep thinking the exact same thoughts So if you’ve ever been called “too much,” “too loud,” or “too left”…you’re in the right place. This is Left Leaning Ladies. Smart women reading dumb comments. Let’s get into it.
