Leftist Lezzies

Leftist Lezzies

Kelly Wise hosts Leftist Lezzies, a political podcast with a touch of neurospicy flair. Just a red state lesbian, from the South, broadcasting every Tuesday at 2 PM from the dumpster fire that is the Midwest, adding as much humor as she can muster. She addresses internet rumors and untruths, current events, and LGBTQ+ issues, framing everything from the perspective of addressing the same old, tired arguments heard every day. What makes her unique? Other than completely unfiltered quips, quirky humor, foul language, and a touch of passion and love for people, not too much. She does this because she cares about the United States and is disheartened at what we are all seeing occur each day. Feel free to tag along and laugh with her @leftistlezzies on TikTok and Instagram and Leftist Lezzies on Facebook.

KB is out this week, but Kelly Wise interviewed Judson and Adrienne, co-founders of the GUARD PAC. This is very much in its infancy, but the PAC will be supporting politicians who are advocating for changes in the data safety, ultimately giving people power over how their data is collected, stored, transferred, sold, etc. Fascinating interview! 

Here are some links that pertain to the subjects discussed:

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
