On this day in 1859 Robert E Lee—who would go on to break his oath to the United States and commit treason by taking up arms against the country he swore to defend—hung John Brown for following the Golden Rule, and attempting to free the enslaved humans that monsters like Lee brutalized.

Another Thanksgiving thankful post; the highlights:
- Thanksgiving is a collection of myths
- Thanksgiving as an Abolitionist holiday?

At our launch party, people spoke from the heart about history, allyship, and showing up.

Liz is "mad as hell about what's going on in our country.

This is an opportunity for folks who are feeling helpless, horrified, and hobbled to speak through a larger platform than their Zuckbook page.

Think of it this way: if you’re too busy to make your own documentary film— you can be a part of ours.

If John Brown told knock knock jokes:

Knock knock.
Who’s there?

Howard.
Howard who?

Howard ye sleep, knowing thy neighbors are chained?
