MAGA vs. DACA. In a segment on his show following the State of the Union speech, Jimmy Kimmel takes on the DACA issue by trying to make it real. He assembles a small group of DACA opponents and introduces them to a family that is currently struggling with the current unresolved situation. At one point during the discussion, one of the opponents makes the claim that “we live in a most-loving, compassionate, exceptional country”. Jimmy pushes back, stating his disagreement, and his observation that “I think that this country has become cruel.”
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
