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"

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Also, Doritos cost like $6 unless you get a buy two get two free coupon deal... when is the man murdering and kidnapping people going to get serious about Dorito costs?"
Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

as your constituent, I’m concerned that you may not realize that what the Republican Party wants is to literally kill Americans. do you understand that?
this is not “we all want what’s best for everyone, we just disagree on how to achieve that”, so I’m disturbed that you’re still talking like it is

Egg prices vs implemenying the Insurrection Act ?
@markwarner.bsky.social
This shouldn't be a toughie, but apparently it is.
1. Get focused.
MN is more important than egg prices.
2. Get Ds on TV to speak against the lawless ICE activities.
Both Ds & Rs are 🤬, make the D case!

Nonviolence is not weakness.
It is disciplined resistance to injustice, rooted in courage and care.

Insurrection act explaned
So with everything happening in Minnesota, I feel like some people need an explanation of what the Insurrection Act is and isn't, along with martial law (which isn't the same and is very nebulous) from someone who knows what they're talking about. Buckle up.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

You know, it's funny. They're doing this to a lot of people and they're not winning. But I really think that because they are so corrupt, they believe everyone is that corrupt. Of course it's part projection as well and part admission, but they just think everyone is as bad as they are
