Maybe we should go give our local GameStop employees a cupcake or something. Feels like it might be a weird week for them.

Me yesterday: what is the ‘stock market’?

Me today after reading roughly 3 articles about Robinhood, Wall Street, and short stocking:

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is unacceptable.

We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.

As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Gotta admit it’s really something to see Wall Streeters with a long history of treating our economy as a casino complain about a message board of posters also treating the market as a casino

Lost in the chaos yesterday was the fact that Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short was barred from the White House grounds in apparent punishment for advising Pence to follow the Constitution. Indicates the level of paranoia and mistrust inside the White House.

During one of the first demonstrations in May for Dreasjon, a comrade stepped off the curb and police promptly let off pepper pellet balls, kicked and hit folks in the ribs, and arrested the person who stepped off the curb.

The bias is glaring.

Let this be a lesson to you all. Police do not need deescalation or restraint training. They can restrain themselves against certain people. They just not going to restrain themselves against YOU.

Just FYI the right is not watching this and doing a gut check/examining their hearts. They’re watching this and already spreading conspiracy theories that the terrorists overtaking the capitol are actually liberals and socialists in disguise.

The United State Capitol Police has an annual budget of approximately $460 million.

The Capitol Building today:

[Sheera Frenkel @sheeraf]

Journalists who follow the far-right, pro-Trump movement have been warning for weeks that January 6 had real potential for violence. Unbelievable that more wasn't done to secure the Capitol building ahed of these protests.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Wow it’s almost like police forces in the US exist primarily to enforce the race/class divide & not actually to protect public safety

[Beytwicé @lotoysrus]

Why y’all keep asking where the police at? Y’all ask where Miley’s at when Hannah’s on stage?

[BLM INDY @indy10people]

We are seeing the final phase of unchecked white privilege in real time. White nationalist power has stormed the steps and is inside of the Capitol building in DC while Congress meets.

[Carolyn Edgar @carolynedgar]

Listen to @prisonculture. Every. Single. Time. She has been telling you what was up from jump. This was orchestrated and facilitated.

And truth be told, so did Trump. Y'all just didn't want to believe he actually meant what the fuck he was saying

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Donald Trump’s premature claims of victory are illegitimate, dangerous, and authoritarian.

Count the votes. Respect the results.
