Blue - purple states should come up with their own postal service and bypass tfg

dfblank22.bsky.social•1 day ago

Of course trump wants to privatize the USPS, I guess he will seize it just like Gaza.

snakeplissken25.bsky.social•1 day ago

This has to be illegal.

andrewsnarks.bsky.social•1 day ago

It is, hence why the Board retained counsel and are preparing to sue.

And?

He’s such a train wreck!!!

So is this why Lewis DeJoy finally resigned? Did he know this was coming?

I should think Amazon would be upset by this.

Lots of people think it's to control mail in voting. But my girlfriend believes it's also a move towards the Comstock Act. To stop the mailing of mifepristone. The anti-choicers are demanding it. He'll already be in charge to make seizures. Time to stand up and #ResistTrump .

andrearyan.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is going to kill millions of e-commerce businesses all because he wants to end mail in voting. And that includes the trump merch stores.

Joe should have done something...

donny has been dismantling since 2017.

Dems are too nice.

bluefarmgirl.bsky.social•1 day ago

just when you think the USPS can’t get any worse

tinanyc.bsky.social•1 day ago

And what of the mail-in vote? Oh wait, we know.

crystalcleer81.bsky.social•1 day ago

The only reason he is doing is this is to have control over mail in voting.

nanswak.bsky.social•1 day ago

And there’s $$ to be made in privatizing… and more Union busting.

dcslider.bsky.social•1 day ago

Since Trump became President everything is worse.

The VA prescription system is now probably >90% via USPS for established prescriptions.

saltywomanvet.bsky.social•1 day ago

This would crush eBay sellers - my customers expect prompt reliable delivery!

katrinaspeak.bsky.social•1 day ago

A lot of rural folks depend on the USPS to get their prescriptions. If Trump steals control, I worry this will end badly. In 2018 almost 24% of those over 65 mail ordered prescriptions.

aaronsnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm a rural carrier and deliver a LOT of prescriptions.

katrinaspeak.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have a friend who’s worked a rural route before & used to live very rural. So I know for many folks the reliable USPS service is essential for their lives.

He's wants to give it to Bezos and have Bezos pay him handsomely for it. All about money, as with everything our new King does.

blk-rabit.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s obvious, he’s taking mail-in voting out back and kristi noeming it.

dinglegnard.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bezos turn to collect dividends from his investment.

joolsvergne.bsky.social•1 day ago

He wants to control mail-in votes.

@amysiskind.bsky.social Order your Anti-Elon magnets while you can! https://libertyandtruth.etsy.com/listing/1374112699

It sure would be a shame if I decided to mail my federal tax payment after USPS goes down.

lisastr.bsky.social•1 day ago

And there’s the WP making sure that we don’t worry about it. No biggie really.

lyndsay616.bsky.social•1 day ago

Look at him. He’s demented

bradmaddog.bsky.social•1 day ago

202-224-3121 Call Speaker Johnson and tell him #hellno to dismantling the United States Postal Service!

jebnc.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have no idea why democrats are giving any votes to fund the government at this point

zolascola.bsky.social•1 day ago

Paywall.

USPS, Kennedy Center...

President Musk is letting DonOld have all these little vanity projects.

But this one is potentially really dangerous, he can take over ballots. Besides making it impossible to send Grandma a card in a small town.

cg13.bsky.social•1 day ago

Where are the Republicans? The Republicans in Congress, in addition to being corrupt, are cowards and hacks. They are merely servants to Trump and the billionaires. Spineless minions! Shameful and disgraceful! They all must be voted out!

undoubtedly so he can end mail-in ballots

readwryt.bsky.social•1 day ago

There goes our fucking mail service. The first thing he'll do is destroy the already infiltrated and overworked Postal Union.

elisajstewart.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wonder how Americans will feel about not getting their mail?

casey9w.bsky.social•1 day ago

Commerce and the rule of law depend on the USPS. there are innumerable contracts and a great number of statutes that require 'notice' to be sent by USPS. Trump's move only helps him (mail in ballots) and his buddies.

vvinaver.bsky.social•1 day ago

Republicans have always wanted to Privatize the postal service. This is nothing new. But Trump's agenda is all about mail-in voting. He is the only rraud out there.

embeessem.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fuuuuuh

shartar10.bsky.social•1 day ago

I see now why DeJoy resigned. He was giving control to trump.

theresistance1787.bsky.social•1 day ago

If this was legal why didn't Biden do this? We were stuck with DeJoy all four years of Biden.
