    I'm just glad I'm finally on a social media platform where I can say stuff like "BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) was the best DCEU film" without attracting a bunch of trolls.

    A prequel to Spielberg’s movie Lincoln, called Thaddeus Stevens, covering from the start of the Civil War to the Emancipation Proclamation. Time for a new hero.

    A depiction of the famous photograph of "Whipped Peter" who was also known as Gordon, was a runaway slave with whip markings on his back and the scars spell out: AMERICA WAS NEVER GREAT The movie "Emancipation" with Will Smith is a great way to learn his history... #BlsckLivesAlwaysMatter

    It's time for Margot Robbie to use her movie clout to make a sequel to Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, and this time add Poison Ivy to the mix. Do this, Margot. For me and my friends.

    A picture is worth a 1000 words. My friend @normajeen.bsky.social posted this picture & it was labeled self-harm. The photo, 'Whipped Peter' was documented by Union soldiers of a slave. Whoever labeled this photo should read a history book or watch the movie, "Emancipation". DON'T erase history.

    A small price to pay so we can all talk about the masterpiece that is BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN). No, I'm not being facetious. I love that movie like I love a bacon-egg-hash browns-and-cheese sandwich with ketchup and spicy mayo from my local corner store.

    19. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn - Cathy Yan. Aside from incredible action sequences, the level of catharsis this movie exudes is simply stunning. Obviously Margot Robbie is great, as she is in everything. The acting and dialogue are top notch.

    I'd love to see something that basically starts at the Emancipation Proclamation and culminates in Juneteenth, though it would be a lot for one film. Basically the legal and practical end of slavery in the Union and how much had to happen in between.

    “Glitter” & “Charmbracelet” by Mariah Carey. Both were negatively reviewed and hated by critics and fans, but in actuality both albums are fire. I think the hate came from the movie glitter flopping & her nervous breakdown. Mariah had the last laugh though w/The Emancipation of Mimi 🦋

    Let's note that in Germany, the second Harley Quinn film "Birds of Prey: The Emancipation of Harley Quinn" had to be renamed "Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey" in 2020 due to poor box office results, and let the conclusion slowly roll off our tongue: Men are afraid of emancipated women. That’s all.
