Sacha Baron Cohen strikes again! As Colonel Erran Morad, anti-terror expert, he conscripts allies in his quest to arm kindergartners and turn them into kinderguardians! His willing accomplices include Philip Van Cleave (Bushmasters are a blast to shoot with), lobbyist Larry Pratt (anti-gun people have blood on their hands), and legislators Matt Gaetz, Joe Walsh, Trent Lott, Dana Rorabacher, and Joe Wilson. One of my favorite segments is Larry Pratt explaining the proven science behind the program, including the claim that “children under five have elevated levels of the pheromone blink-182 produced by the part of the liver known as the rita-ora”. Laughable, pathetic and infuriating, all at once.
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.
