there's mean like "rude comments" mean and there's mean like "Palmer raids" mean
it’s fun when centrists complain about “the left” being mean to them online, completely disregarding this country’s 100+ years of specific persecution of communists and anarchists

A breakthrough for gender equality? Not even! @serenekhader.bsky.social would correctly identify the stunt as girlboss feminism. This time, it’s dressed up in matching blue onesies and a jaunt beyond the stratosphere but still caters only to the 1%. Miss me with that mess.
A crew of six women, including pop star Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos's fiancé Lauren Sanchez, is set to blast off today on an 11-minute Blue Origin flight.
It marks the first all-female space mission in 60 years — hailed as a breakthrough for gender equality in space tourism.

Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

Remind yourself, for instance, that the premised association with Tren de Aragua is one of the facts for which the administration has offered no evidence whatsoever - when you read passages like "the lack of specific information about each individual...demonstrates that they are terrorists"
UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!
