Florida Mass Shootings – A Trip Down Memory Lane: When It Was Orlando’s “Turn”

Is it déjà vu all over again? Rubio in 2016 “This could have happened anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, today was Orlando’s turn.” Gov. Rick Scott’s prescription for helping: “I think the biggest thing is pray. … Pray that this never happens again.” Samantha Bee: “Maybe we’re not praying right. Can we check the instruction manual?” Flips Bible to James 2:17 “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Samantha: “Oh sh*t! We were supposed to DO SOMETHING while we prayed?!” [NSFW: language]

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.
