One of the top comments on r/wsb’s “moves tomorrow” thread. Oh how far we’ve come.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

The Powell witch-hunt is not about revenge. It’s not about monetary policy. It’s about power. As is ICE. As is Venezuela. As is the fact that he does not intend to give up power in 2028.

As I've been saying, Trump has been running the federal government like an organized crime enterprise. Shocking as this latest development may be, it is but one example. Trump must be impeached and removed if our constitutional republic is to survive.

Tragi-comedy. Trump threatens to block ExxonMobil from investing in a country ExonMobil judge to be 'uninvestable'. I'm sure they will be very worried about this.

This is genocide. Ukraine is not far away.Ukraine is Europe, and in the 21st century people in Europe are freezing after Russian attacks. This needs to be talked about, made widely known. Russia's crimes must be stopped so the horror never happens again.

So many people in Kyiv are still without heating,electricity after the Russian attack No heating means thousands of families (the elderly,the disabled)just freezing in their homes Russia deliberately launched this attack when the weather got very cold 📷a frozen window in one of Kyiv's apartments.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities. This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

According to email documentation in the Epstein files, Bill Pulte’s grandfather allegedly worked with Jeffrey Epstein in 2004 to help broker a real estate deal by which a Russian oligarch disguised a $100 million transfer to Donald Trump.

I honestly think Vance may be worse, unless other people with power relearn the word "no" when he is in charge

Minnesota itself is rejecting these chuds.

you NO LONGER have to be ashamed to say “merry protein”

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the terminations appear to be retaliation for the group's view points re: vaccine safety/efficacy. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

r/wallstreetbets is lit

Maybe the most fascinating belief among the billionaire class, especially the Silicon Valley set, has been their confidence that if they blow up the specific conditions and institutions that put them on top, they will certainly come out even higher on top

Pam Bondi is going to announce tomorrow that Jerome Powell tried to ram Donald Trump with his car

This is your regular reminder that authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large.

Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.

It is, we all have to admit, very funny to respond to Exxon’s statement saying they don’t want to invest in Venezuela by not allowing them to invest in Venezuela. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Despite President Jackson’s pretensions, the Bank War he began was not a mass movement against unelected, usurious elites. It was a president grabbing at power denied to him by the people’s duly elected representatives in Congress, as is Trump’s recent feud with the Fed." (from September)

"It's a thing that tin pot dictators do right before starting a hyperinflation and destroying their own economies." youtu.be/XGYHbCJVQCg

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Rest in piss Erich Von Daniken. Racist pseudoscience charlatan and a model for every flat earth, tartaria, Atlantis etc shithead who came after him

"The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state." —William J. Brennan Jr., joined by White, Blackmun, Stevens, & Marshall, Houston v. Hill, 1987

Sentiment check: r/wallstreetbets is absolutely libbing out, indistinguishable from Bsky.

The essential position is “kiss my ass or I’ll have the most friendless loser your high school ever produced come shoot you in the face, bitch”

Some countries that have prosecuted or threatened to prosecute central bankers for the purpose of political intimidation or punishment for monetary policy decisions: Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

some of these guys feel that they're showing remarkable restraint by passing up murders they're entitled to commit

They keep saying this “didn’t you learn your lesson?” bit like murdering Renee Good was a flex and we’re all supposed to bow to their dominance.

They featured an email I sent. I asked Twitter to refund us when a grad student mistakenly 1-click subscribed to a pricey service. Twitter said no, so I said we’d tell scholars of their bad customer service. Jordan et al said it showed enormous influence of scholars, tho Twitter never gave us the $.

The Trump family is going to be disappointed to learn they have to pay security to keep people with full bladers away from this man's grave.

CLOT CLOT CLOT CLOT CLOT

This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

Just watch this DUI arrest of an ICE agent and the radiated anger entitlement. Rules are clearly for other people. youtu.be/V_t-RWRb4G4?...

WHAT LAW

Congratulations to John Roberts

He said this on Wednesday. It's Sunday now. It's way past time for the full transcript of this interview to be released. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

This is a reminder that there is no reason, none, for you to make your Venmo transaction history public, or to share it with even friends. It's profoundly irresponsible that Venmo defaults to showing it to everyone. Go change your setting to private.

Trump administration is scaring the hoes

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Ronald Reagan’s budget director.

If people don’t stop calling us murderers, we’ll murder more people.

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

Who could possibly have foreseen this? /s (Answer: Anyone whose knowledge of immigration-and-economics, especially through US history, extends beyond Jean Raspail's "Camp of the Saints.")
