  • I’m here for the lefty news

    Great source for non mainstream media stories. It is a nice have these voices when you don’t have access to them IRL. Occasionally it becomes an echo chamber of bratty leftist platitudes like “Complicity is violence” and reminds me that while you may share the same values of people on the left, they don’t except moderation (which is why the left will always implode on itself). And I swear to god, if Gareth says QUOTE UNQOUTE one more time…..😖❤️🔥🇺🇸🔥
