Trump is now talking about taking over the Postal Service.

Just imagine what this will do to Mail-in voting.

Comments

I called it the day DeJoy claimed he was leaving. I said he would be back after trump privatized our postal service and let DeJoy purchase it. This cannot happen.

Same. I said it'll be privatized and don't be surprised if it's DeJoy's company running it.

I realized the same thing! They tried before to control & dissolve USPS and failed. When DeJoy stepped away, I KNEW they were next!

The USPS belongs to the people. Not to Oligarchs.

madison8.bsky.social•22 hours ago

They must never get control of the USPS!

Voting from abroad is already hit or miss. Trump wants to remove that right as well.

and my job. I work at an RMPO. Rural Post Offices barely make any money.

It seems we the average people need a raise vs Billionaires and Corporations needing a tax break. We need a real raise. Many of us were the essential workers who put our lives on the line every day during Covid? Republicans need to stop blowing up our debt with give aways to the Ultra Rich.

Said that for ages.

It just happened in Iceland. Privatised packages.

No more free delivery, they open every package and Google the highest price, you pay a 20% tarriff and LOADS of handling fees. No gifts.

Letters are still handled by the National post.

This is the 1st step in privatizing the whole thing.

Good luck with that rural America.

I live in OR. Mail in is all we do. As a retired mailman, I find this horrifying. When I think of all the discussions I had w GOP voting coworkers about why they shouldn't vote for GOP, I wonder if they believe me now.

bigcat6.bsky.social•1 day ago

They will out of jobs in a year. Also a retired USPS employee - rural carrier.

columbiariverwitch.bsky.social•1 day ago

I started out as a rural carrier. I have ADHD & setting all day made me crazy(er). I loved being a mailman then, I think i would hate it now.

I’m sure that’s the plan. I bet there’s a shadow Project 2025 with more than we’ve seen in the posted version.

I live in the UK and do absentee ballots. Plus elmo is fixing the elections so we need a fix for that.

xojake.bsky.social•1 day ago

I truly think the ultimate goal is to privatize everything. post office, parks, health, everything.

dswan1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yup. Or mailing anything

everlily24.bsky.social•19 hours ago

To stop mail-in ballots is THE reason he wants to take over the USPS. To suppress the vote.

Ok, people, you have to decide, let this madman and his henchman destroy our lives and the country we live in, or f—king fight back. I don’t mean be keyboard warriors, I mean #nationalstrike

garrison1979.bsky.social•1 day ago

You can’t successfully protest on a schedule. The time is now. #nationalstrike We may not have a country in 4 weeks.

I thought it was bad with his plant, DeJoy, in there. He will ruin it completely. On the other hand, they will have to admit that its part of the govt and not a profit making private company. How to work around having no postal svc? Some things you cant do online. Many companies require mail in.
