On Sunday, March 23, NALC branches are hosting local rallies to say "Hell no!" to dismantling the Postal Service. With branches holding events nationwide on the same day, we are sending a clear, unified message: Hands off USPS!

“ #USPS reached an agreement with #Musk ’s team allowing it to help in “identifying and achieving further efficiencies,” Republican megadonor/Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said in a letter to lawmakers on Thursday.”

Another travesty!

"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress in a letter Thursday that the USPS aims to eliminate 10,000 jobs using a voluntary early retirement program over the next 30 days to reduce costs at the financially strapped U.S. Postal Service."

Millions of Americans depend on the USPS for access to critical information, benefits & life-saving medical care..., esp. in rural areas.

#PSA for you all: Going forward, expect glitches, outages, and other shenanigans from federal websites. I just pulled up usps.com to look at my informed delivery for the day, only to be greeted with the message that “this service is not available at this time.” I’ve seen other people posting about similar problems on other government websites. I fear we have now reached the time that the powers that be were wanting all along. They want people to not be served by the federal government and thus demand something different like, oh I don’t know, privatization. It’s just astounding to me how quickly it all happened and how little pushback there was. #USPS #GOPIsEvil #USPolitics

#Republicans, National mail service is in the Constitution. Don't privatize it.

Also, people get their medications in the mail. Don't hamper critical deliveries!

From Democracy Docket:

"Trump Bid to Take Over Postal Service Could Threaten Mail Voting"

https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/trump-postal-service-executive-order-mail-voting-threat/

“Taking over the Postal Service just kind of opens up a whole Pandora’s box of mischief,” said Barbara Smith Warner, the executive director of National Vote at Home Institute, a nonprofit which works to increase voters’ access to and confidence in mail voting.

“NEW: #Trump plans to sign an executive order to overtake the #USPS by dissolving its leadership and placing it under his administration. This move would grant them immense power over mail-in ballots, a key target in Republican election fraud rhetoric.”

Yup. The #USPS is pretty much a dead duck. I ordered something from Oregon. It took one day to get to Grand Rapids. Then it went to Kalamazoo! Holy crap! That’s quick! Hahahaah fuck me. Went off to Grand Rapids again. Hahahaah. They got it to Kalamazoo and then… fucked it up. Anyhow, don’t use the United States Postal Service kids. They are broken.

i'll defend the new usps trucks until i die
