Authoritarian regimes are notorious for making people think what they perceive to be reality is not actually real. Sometimes this is called creating "unreality" sometimes "gas-lighting." It doesn't matter which label is used, the goal is the same: make people doubt what they see with their own eyes.

The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.

"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

As an English word, "maven" is younger than Michael J. Fox. Here's how it made the jump from Yiddish to English, with a little help from an oddball adman and some pickled herring.

The real color of the '80s wasn't aqua, or purple, or hot pink. It was brown.

Massachusetts AG Campbell @massago.bsky.social works hard to protect everyone, not just the people in MA.
Trump has worked overtime to attack our nation’s health care system, including slashing critical research grants that prioritize the health of women, our LGBTQ+ community & communities of color.

This ruling is a win and a rebuke of the discriminatory actions carried out by this Administration.
A federal judge in Boston declared grant terminations by the National Institutes of Health “illegal and void,” ordering the grants to be reinstated and accusing the Trump administration of racial discrimination.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

The only things the DNC does is raise money for state parties to fund down ballot candidates in general elections & organized by the Democratic National Convention every 4 years. They have nothing to do with primary elections which are run by state & local election officials.

After being told by the Supreme Court to bring Abrego Garcia home, and that it was illegal to send him and others to a foreign gulag without due process, the Trump administration this weekend sent 10 more people to the Salvadoran gulag without process.
