| February 24, 1895 José Martí, a Cuban revolutionary, poet, journalist and teacher, began the liberation struggle against Spanish control. He had been forced out of Cuba repeatedly (to Spain) for his opposition to colonial rule, and spent 15 years in the U.S. organizing the revolution just before returning home.  José Martí Cultivate a White Rose By José Martí I cultivate a white rose In July as in January For the sincere friend Who gives me his hand frankly. And for the cruel person who tears out the heart with which I live, I cultivate neither nettles nor thorns: I cultivate a white rose. read about José Martí |

February 24, 1966 Father and son, Tom and Barry Bondhus, united in their opposition to the draft. Photo: Pete Hohn, Minneapolis Tribune Barry Bondhus, classified 1-A (fully eligible) for the draft during the Vietnam War, dumped two buckets of manure in file drawers at the Elk River, Minnesota, draft board. A farmer’s son (one of ten brothers) from Big Lake who acted with the full support of his parents, he was charged with destruction of government property. His father, Tom, wrote a declaration of war on the government over their insistence on forcing his boys into the army. He said he was prepared to die to protect his sons but eager to negotiate. “My opinion is that since our constitution guarantees: Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness; and because the army denies all three; the draft is not lawful.” Barry, sometimes referred to as “the Big Lake One,” who listed his race as “human” on the draft forms, served 14 months in jail and prison for his action. Perspective on the case and the Bondhus family more than 50 years later |

| February 24, 2012 Syndicated talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh began a three-broadcast-day-long campaign attacking Georgetown Law School student Sandra Fluke (rhymes with book) for her testimony before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.  The previous week she had been invited to testify on the subject of federal requirements for contraceptive coverage in health insurance policies before the Republican-controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Instead, Committee Chair Darrell Issa (R-CA) declared her testimony inappropriate (she is past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice), instead hearing from five men. Committee member Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney asked, “Where are the women?” Fluke talked about the high cost of contraception and the non-pregnancy-related importance of such medications for some women. Limbaugh spent six hours on air demeaning her personally and derided her as a “slut” and a “prostitute.” Watch Sandra Fluke’s testimony: |

This videos are hard to watch, I had to fast forward over the part showing the man harassing these people and acting like a deranged gang thug, which maga is. It is going to get worse as more of these vigilantes think they have a right to be enforcers of their own opinions. We need to make sure that every event is punished and made public to stop these people from acting this way. Hugs

WE WERE CHILDREN | Full Documentary | National Film Board of Canada
I got up because I couldn’t sleep. But YouTube in their wisdom of algorithms had this in my feed. I watched it. At one point the man Glen talks of how it stays with you. It does. Always. Now I will try to work. Hugs
Ripped from their families at a young age, two survivors reveal the harrowing truth of Canada’s residential school system.
As young children, Lyna and Glen were taken from their homes and placed in church-run boarding schools. The trauma of this experience was made worse by years of untold physical, sexual and emotional abuse, the effects of which persist in their adult lives. In this emotional film, the profound impact of the Canadian government’s residential school system is conveyed unflinchingly through the eyes of two children who were forced to face hardships beyond their years. We Were Children gives voice to a national tragedy and demonstrates the incredible resilience of the human spirit.
Directed by Tim Wolochatiuk and written by Jason Sherman, We Were Children is produced by Kyle Irving for Eagle Vision Inc. and David Christensen for the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).
Warning: this film contains disturbing content and is recommended for audiences 16 years of age and older. Parental discretion, and/or watching this film within a group setting, is strongly advised. If you need counselling support, please contact Health Canada.

I know it is too late to change the vote, but we can make their vote hang on them and drag them down. They depend on us forgetting what they did.
Thank you Ten Bears for posting this video. I wish more people could have seen it and stuff like it … before the vote. Hugs

How to Know You Are In A Cult (1953)
Just a note with the video. I won’t be around much this morning. Neither of us slept much we were both up needing food for crashing blood sugar in early morning hours. I never slept until after three, Ron said he was more towards four. But we got up at 6 am, got coffee, cleaned all the counters, put away the clean dishes Ron washed before he came to bed, and then we washed Odie’s feet from the cat litter he gets packed in them and his butt / belly because he is too lazy to lift himself up when he pees so he ends up laying / walking in the wet pee litter. Then I showered, Ron is showering so we can go shopping today. It is bitter cold, feels like 40 degrees. Great for you northern types, the frozen Arctic for us in southern Florida. Ron and I are both in not so great health and we find it is better if we do the shopping as a team, watching out for each other. See you all after if I can still function. Hugs
In this newly found film from the 1950s we learn how one can determine whether or not they are in a cult. Does any of this sound like you?
