The dismantling of the USPS is happening at a clip across the U.S. and its territories.
At this rate, we may not have a working mail service by November.
Y’all need to contact your reps by tweet, phone, fax, or text ASAP.
Any loss of communication is deadly to a democracy. https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1294109950604697601

More mailbox removals.
Montana’s pretty sparse. Don’t y’all need all the mailboxes you‘ve got?
Whoops! I almost forgot about ALL THE SWEEPING AUTHORTIARIANISM that’s happening as I write this. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1294299357223833600

They aren’t just deactivating the USPS sorting machines—they’re destroying some and throwing others in the trash, according to postal employees who’ve witnessed these anti-democratic actions. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pkyv4k/internal-usps-documents-outline-plans-to-hobble-mail-sorting
The slowdown started over a month ago when DeJoy took office.
We’re actually playing catch-up, which makes any and all actions much more urgent. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/07/14/postal-service-trump-dejoy-delay-mail/

Public pressure works!
Call your reps; call your reps: call your reps. They have folks in office while they vacay (

Even before DeJoy, our current administration screwed up the UN-run int’l postal system by renegotiating a 141-year-old treaty to make postal shipping rates to the U.S. so unfathomably high that everyday Americans have been *forced* to purchase goods from stateside corporations
who are under no obligation to serve America or Americans in any way whatsoever.
Thus prices for certain common goods have gone screaming through the roof with no sign of abatement.
