Today is the death anniversary of 2 great souls who died for cause of freedom- Udham Singh and Dheeran Chinammalai. Two men from different eras, different regions, different background. Yet both laid down their lives for freedom.
Udham Singh single minded tracked down Michael O Dwyer, responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, killed him and hanged to death on this date.
Dheeran Chinammalai led an uprising against British, in Kongu, hanged to death on this date.
Udham Singh's real name was Sher Singh, born on Dec 26, 1899, to a poor peasant family in Punjab’s Sangrur district. His father, Tehl Singh, worked as a railway gate keeper at a level crossing in the Uppali village of Punjab.

Today was a great start to my week! I enjoyed leading this engaging session about Josiah Henson & the Dawn settlement w/ these insightful young men in advance of their trip to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. A fresh reminder of the imp of Black Ss learning about Black history @WRT_PDSB
What did we do? The focus was to examine Josiah Henson, the real man, outside of the literary text that he inspired. In centering him, we can gain an appreciation of his humanity and agency, gain insight into his perspective and that of other freedom seekers who came to Cda.
Began by starting a K-W-L chart. I showed the last 15mins of a new docu, Josiah, to show when Josiah and his wife Charlotte decided to flee w 4 children to Cda, then a few yrs later helped to establish the Dawn settlement tvo.org/video/document…

British constitutional academic meets the real world. Ireland left the Commonwealth (membership of which foisted on it by the 1922 Treaty (along with imposition of Government of Ireland Act) because of a calculated insult to the then Taoiseach. Bogdanor misses that
misses that the North was set up to be an avowedly Unionist state, misusing religious confession as a binding force. Nothing independent Ireland did could change this. Irish citizens were treated as British citizens not out of generosity but rather
Out of an imperial mindset (Ireland was the first colony, where plantation method of settlement was first used), more dominoes couldn't fall. Particularly India. Also the Tory "Orange card" strategy ignored / abandoned unionists outside of Ulster.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Not a single Israeli was hurt & not 1 rocket launched
Here is my #thread from yesterday about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict & the state of the "only democracy in the Middle East"

(1) Thread: #NorthKorea prisoners hopefully about to be released while Secretary Pompeo is there. I will use this thread for photos and updates over the next while.

#MAGA #PeaceIsThePrize #PeaceThroughStrength #FreeNorthKorea
(2) I feel like I should at least learn the names of the three men who have been suffering under the deadly Kim regime while President Trump and his team work to free them.

>Kim Hak-song
>Kim Dong-chul
>Kim Sang-duk

God bless them & their families.
(3) We value each and every human life in the world. This is what separates us from the totalitarian rulers of North Korea, China, Russia, Iran and Syria. For example.

The fight for freedom will never end, but I'm glad I'm on America's side.
