"Decorated Army Veteran Charles Norman Shay, who at 19 saved lives at Omaha Beach on #DDay, has died. A citizen of the #PenobscotNation who was raised in #OldTown, Shay was known for his heroic work as an army medic, and as one of the first indigenous soldiers from the era to share his experiences.

"Born in Bristol, Connecticut, Charles Norman Shay grew up on the Indian Island Reservation, and was one of the first children from the reservation to attend school across the river in Old Town.

"After the United States joined WWII, Shay was drafted into the army. He was trained as a medic, and transferred to the 16th Infantry Regiment — one of the three combat regiments of the 1st Infantry Division that spearheaded the Normandy Invasion, known as D-Day.

"In an interview with Maine Public in 2007, Shay recalled coming out of the water onto Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, and racing to an embankment for cover."

<The teenager allegedly punched a 79-year-old man in the face outside a pre-polling centre in the suburb, which falls within Anthony Albanese's electorate of Grayndler.
The elderly man was taken to hospital in a serious condition with head injuries. He was reportedly wearing a Make America Great Again hat and tried to vandalise a corflute before the attack.>

i guess monique had to play mum in that situation, though a little more outrage would have been acceptable to me

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 that woman who smacked the nazi
and f*** the nazi. there are situations where polite calm is not required.

here is a clip from The Good Fight, not because the nazi-punching message needs amplifying, but because the whole episode is brilliant.
(If you have paramount/ stan it’s season 3 episode 5. the Blum character is a haemorrhoid, but the rest of it sparks joy)

It’s just a weird bag of emotions being so heartened and uplifted by other countries telling mine to fuck off and get wrecked. Fuck yeah! But at the same time, fuck, how embarrassing and frustrating to be the asshole bully finally catching some hands with our own face.

Anyway. Keep #punchingnazis #teslatakedown #uspol #EndRacism #fucknazis #SlavaUkraini
