AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

🧵It doesn’t matter. We’ve seen almost zero accountability for Trump and his legions of scum bags.

American justice is broken and all you talking heads need to adjust to that and stop with the hopeful rhetoric.

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?

MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

It’s interesting that the politicians that are most concerned with the low birth rates in America never utter a single word about the staggering income inequality, lack of social engagement, and housing shortages.

Basically politicians would rather bitch than solve problems

Ordered some stamps from a wonderful dealer in NY on 12/23/25. The tracking has been updated 5 times with an arrival date. Now they are saying Monday 1/2/26.

Is USPS slower under Trump or is this a one off?

Why are you not on the steps of the Capitol with democrats and the few republicans that know how the Constitution works.

Stop posting and start impeaching
Trump’s actions are blatantly unconstitutional.

There is no dispute that Maduro is a brutal dictator — but only Congress has the power to declare war.

If Congress does not begin reasserting itself — immediately — our constitutional order will be permanently transformed.

Cowards, all of them
Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

I was hugged and told “I love you” often.

Not everyone was so lucky.

Make sure you let those you love know with words and actions. It makes a huge difference and it’s free 😊

I have really enjoyed posting a stamp each day of 2025. It was a nice way to do a little bit of research on historical events and also go through my collection.

I’d love to continue (may a monthly theme ) but I don’t know if folks are like “enough with the stamps, nerd”.

What do you think?
