A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propagandatechnique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously"
The Nazis used the term "Lying Press" (Lügenpresse) to discredit and censor all dissenting media, simultaneously targeting journalists, and seizing, and giving their political allies control of news outlets to crush any opposition.

This needs to get more play:
Speaking of giving political allies control of news outlets, here's a fun fact: Julius Streicher, publisher of nazi-era rag Der Stürmer, was found guilty at Nuremberg of crimes against humanity for his influential role in inciting hatred and violence. He was sentenced to death and hanged.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers enter the MLB offseason, the front office has a plan of attack to make sure the team is set up to contend once again next year. Los Angeles is coming off winning a second straight World Series title, and now all eyes are set on going after a three-peat in 2026. While there aren't many holes across the Dodgers' roster, the team does have some areas of concern that need to be addressed.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and often the center of our communities and neighborhoods.
Especially now, as Trump’s tariffs are pushing so many local small businesses to the breaking point, let’s all do our part and shop small for Small Business Saturday.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Measles is often the 1st disease when vaccination rates overall drop.
"When we see measles cases, it signals that gaps are almost likely for other vaccine-preventable diseases like diphtheria or polio, even though they may not be setting off the fire alarm just yet"

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.
We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
