Alexandria got deep into her feelings and recorded a love note to Kira. Sorry not sorry if Kira's embarressed by it.

Alexandria has been HEATED about the way people use the phrase "freedom of speech" to justify saying terrible things. Listen in to hear Kira break down that part of the First Amendment into simple language so we can all learn how to not be jerks.
