Here’s your rundown of Leftorium articles this week.
Today’s off-topic thread: What’s a Piece of Pop Culture that Grew On You?
A repost from me to commemorate the new season premiere of F Is For Family: Come And Get Your Love: F IS FOR FAMILY and the value of empathy
And a brief story about Hakeem Jeffries being pushed to defeat Barbara Lee for House Caucus Chair: The Racist, Sexist Dudebros of the Democratic Party are at it again
And other stories in the political and political-like world:
Cindy Hyde-Smith is elected in Mississippi, proving once again that nobody is too racist for Republicans and that Republican-controlled states are really good at voter suppression.
Laura Loomer handcuffs herself to the doors of Twitter’s New York City offices, demanding her account be reinstated. I don’t even know how to describe this story because it’s hilarious from so many facets. I just recommend searching Twitter.
