I mean, the 24-year-old 2nd LT on the left and the 19-year-old Spec/4 on the right had very different ideas of what a “lawful order” meant on March 16, 1968, but it was the enlisted one who was unequivocally correct.
William Calley, who ordered and personally participated in the murder of hundreds of Vietnamese civilians in the My Lai Massacre. Lawrence Colburn, who aimed his machine gun at fellow American troops to stop them from killing ten children at My Lai.

Lawrence Colburn was a 19-year-old high school dropout when he risked his life—and court martial—to help end the My Lai Massacre.

This is Border Patrol, not ICE. Just as bad, and just as unaccountable.

Abolish ICE. Break up DHS. Prosecute the abusers. Impeach the leadership. And salt the earth behind them.

That math isn’t mathing.
The poll, released Thursday, was conducted by YouGov and commissioned by the Regional Plan Association, a research and advocacy group focused on land use and transit policy. YouGov surveyed more than 800 Connecticut residents across the political spectrum, asking them about specific policies included in the sweeping housing bill vetoed over the summer, House Bill 5002. The poll showed that 42% of respondents said housing was the most important issue facing Connecticut. Forty percent said taxes were most important, and 27% said inflation. The survey also found that respondents generally supported most of the major policies included in H.B. 5002, including

And if he’d gotten the Straw Hat Pirate’s skull and crossbones instead of the Schutzstaffel’s we’d be fine with it. But there’s a big difference between the iconography of Monkey D. Luffy and Heinrich Himmler.

I know about this one Antifa girl—her dad was a mayor who didn’t like the administration—who totally trashed her college by flinging a bunch of radical literature all over the place.

Bet Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi would like to have a chance to give her some Trump Justice.

YouTube did exactly the right thing by de-platforming a dangerous fascist who was in the middle of trying to stage a coup. Paying him a $24.5 million bribe today—which is exactly what they’re doing—is as cowardly as that was brave.

Today’s grand opening of The Oak, Manchester’s new skatepark, pump track and turf soccer field right on Main Street.

Seven years in the making. I am so damn proud right now.
