Harriet, the move about Harriet Tubman. GO. SEE. IT.

Just back from seeing a matinee.

If you want to feel some righteous anger and some motivation to do what needs to be done to rid ourselves of the traitorous orange menace and all his enablers, then seeing this movie ought to fire you up.

This is not Gone With the Wind.

I'm still pissed that the Treasury has "delayed" releasing the new $20 bill with Harriet Tubman on it, which is just another example of racism and misogyny from the regime of 45.

I hope one of the first acts of the next Democratic president is to put the $20 Tubman into production by the Treasury.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'm glad to hear that it was good. I want Hollywood to make more films about amazing women from history.
