- Reposted by Stephanie CondonYou can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

- Reposted by Stephanie CondonThis is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonDHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonLooking at the list of 19 new CBS News commentators, the median number of times they appear in the searchable Epstein database is 2 and the mean is 100
- Reposted by Stephanie Condon“You cannot be neutral about the dismantling of our democracy and still expect to be protected by it,” Fort told CJR days before her arrest. “If the Constitution fails to protect US citizens, it will fail to protect the media, the free press." www.cjr.org/news/astonis...
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonThe Senate’s top Democratic appropriator Patty Murray faults DHS for “an execution” in Minnesota, and adds: “The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.”
- Reposted by Stephanie Condon218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonEven if you think ICE’s atrocities are just America doing America things why would you want to shut down other people’s outrage about it? Is making sure everyone knows America has always sucked really more important than making America suck a little less?
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonLiam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”
- Reposted by Stephanie Condonkidnapping a 5 year old to bait his father and then shipping them thousands of miles away should put you in prison, yes, but it should also cause every friend and family member you have ever had to permanently reject you in disgrace, and if they don’t, they share your shame
- Reposted by Stephanie Condonbro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonThe labor share of GDP is lower today than it has been at any time since records began being kept in 1947. The share of the nation’s income going to workers has fallen 16 points in that 78-year stretch. The share going to capital has risen by the same amount. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonThese are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonSometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.
- Reposted by Stephanie Condon"Stop calling murderers murderers otherwise they'll murder more people." When they're talking about security forces within a state, how can any sane person not recognize that the US is no longer a democracy?
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonAll blue states should be expanding their statute of limitations on all the relevant abuse of power/corruption crimes. Send the message that we won't forget or let this go. Trump can't pardon you against these state charges.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonAgents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonThe past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonThe “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonIf Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.
- Reposted by Stephanie Condonreally tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonJust woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.
- Meanwhile, back in our own country 😞

- Reposted by Stephanie CondonYou have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

- Reposted by Stephanie CondonI also love America and believe in its stated values. And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.

Measles had been eliminated in the US in 2020 but in 2025 there were a total of 2,065 confirmed measles cases in the US, 88% of them associated with outbreaks.

- Reposted by Stephanie CondonTHIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

- In other news, doing whippets is bringing people a surprising amount of joy
- Reposted by Stephanie Condonthe fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonUtterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonI'm biased here but it strengthens my belief that global scale algorithmic social media is one of the worst inventions in human history. I'd delete it off the face of the earth without a second's hesitation
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonYes. Yes he is. He's extrajudicially murdered over 80 people the South American coast.
- The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders. The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here: newrepublic.com/article/2035...
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonI don’t ever want to hear any Republican anywhere ever complain about someone instigating political violence against them ever again. They are a political violence party. They just object to splashback onto themselves of the environment of political violence they’ve created.
- Reposted by Stephanie CondonTrump is tweeting out violent threats which would get him visited and possibly arrested by the FBI if he wasnt the president.

- Reposted by Stephanie CondonThis absolutely is Jeff Bezos’s fault. I feel sorry for the excellent journalists and other staff caught up in his mismanagement, but this is his doing. And it will only lead to the Post doing even worse, which will then — almost inevitably — lead to more layoffs.
