John's story's familiar to many African-American families. Raised by parents from rural Louisiana who had no more than an elementary education. He finished high school, joined the Navy, then got a job at the #USPS. Today he fears his pathway to the middle class won't be there for the next generation

Postal workers and their supporters rally in Cedar Falls Monday to keep mail service public and affordable. #USPS

Do we want Trump's reported guy in as Postmaster General? It's not too late for the #USPS Board of Governors to change its mind. Send a message here:

We should all feel safe & protected by the US Constitution when exercising our 1A rights. But ICE's actions against @seiu.org CA Pres. David Huerta & workers is just a fear tactic aimed at silencing anyone who dares to speak out against injustice. Find an event near you! bit.ly/FreeDavidEndRaids

"Let’s be clear: privatization would put profits over the people. It would mean slower service, higher costs, & in some cases, no service at all for the rural communities that rely mostly on timely mail, whether it’s for prescriptions, paychecks, or simply staying connected." #USPS #USMailNotForSale

🚨 Don’t let the USPS fall into privatizers’ hands. The Board of Governors is picking the next Postmaster General — tell them: NO privatizers! 📬 Take 30 seconds to act: #USMailNotForSale actionnetwork.org/letters/post...

How do you say "conflict of interest" without saying "conflict of interest"? Here are almost half a million ways to say it. #USMailNotForSale #USPS

From @commondreams.org: As the Trump administration signaled a potential step toward privatizing the U.S. Postal Service with the reported selection of a FedEx board member to serve as postmaster general, new polling on Thursday showed just how strongly the American public would oppose such a move.

Timely & important survey shows Americans strongly oppose privatizing beloved US Postal Service. @jacobbogage.bsky.social has reported that the USPS board is poised to appoint FedEx board member David Steiner as Postmaster. FedEx might be the company that would gain the most if USPS were privatized.

A new poll from @hartresearch.bsky.social and North Star research shows public opposes Trump admin's postal privatization plans 60% to 26%. Majorities of rural voters and independents as well as 41% of Republicans. #USMailNotForSale #SaveThePostOffice #HandsOff

With rumors circulating about what the White House might be planning for the USPS, here's one thing we know for sure - we MUST speak up for our public Postal Service. Will you make your voices heard in Washington, D.C? #usmailnotforsale #handsoff

To everyone struggling against the dark side- May the Fourth Be With You. #maythefourth

Q. Who pays the price if the USPS is sold off for corporate profit? A. All of us, but it would hit some of us especially hard - find out more here. #USMailNotForSale #HandsOff

“Any attempt to privatize the post office or reorganize it would do severe damage to the services that we provide,” DeRidder said. “Every person that lives in this country — we deliver to over 168 million addresses. No other private carrier services, like UPS and FedEx, do that. ”

Have you written your members of Congress yet? We're asking them to sign on the House Resolution 70 and Senate Resolution 147. Send a message! #USMailNotForSale #HandsOffOurPostalService

Don't even joke about it! They might get ideas.

"The Trump Administration has been reviving plans to privatize the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). But many lawmakers don’t like the idea, including some from President Donald Trump’s own party." @sarahanderson.bsky.social #USMailNotForSale #Handsoff

Alarm is right! Check this report from @theguardian.com's @msainato.bsky.social on the threat we face right now. #USMailNotForSale #SaveThePostOffice

Q. Who pays the biggest price for Postal privatization? A. We would all pay the price, but some communities would be harder hit than others. Read @sarahanderson.bsky.social's new report for @ips-dc.org

Happy #EarthDay from America’s unions! 🌎 We only get one planet, and we’re fighting every day to protect it with clean energy union jobs ✊

I love when a package arrives and 2-3 people follow the package across the shop because they want to know what's in the box. In this way, people are no different from cats and dogs. What is it? Is it fun? Is it edible?

A modest proposal! #SaveThePostOffice #USMailNotForSale

Did you know you can support our wonderful, miraculous non-business USPS by purchasing this amazing Betty White stamp pin right now? LOOK AT IT! IT’S AMAZING. *Also available: Betty White stamps, notecards, and bookmarks

Meander twice, consign once! You can't put a monetary value on a Post Office as a community center! #USMailNotForSale #woodworking

You could say it louder but not clearer! Fran joined her local "Hands Off" protest this weekend and had a clear message about our public Postal Service. #USMailNotForSale #USPS

This, right here, is a beautiful thing! #USMailNotForSale

Great to see so many folks at the Hands Off protest in Boone! It was moving to hear from many retired and current federal employees, including retired USPS workers who expressed serious concerns over privatization. Since Virginia Foxx won't offer it, we're demanding accountability.

"Though she doesn’t have any signs, she is here talking to employees to support the union’s national campaign, with the slogan “U.S. mail is not for sale.”

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off the Postal Service! Let's fight together against Trump’s unprecedented power grab wherever it happens! app.sosha.ai/s/Fjq5n6ss

"For rural areas which rely on the post office as their sole means for getting letters, medical prescriptions and equipment through the mail, that means prices may rise to reflect the more distance between deliveries, which cuts profit compared to urban settlements." #USMailNotForSale

Glendo, WY should be able to enjoy its Post Office. If the privatizers get their way, the chances of keeping rural offices are slim to none. usmailnotforsale.org/blog-post/wa... #USMailNotForSale

This is a good stamp. Also consider the Underground Railroad stamp. Your stamp order will be processed and dispatched by a union member with a good postal job. #USMailNotForSale #SaveThePostOffice

The idea that the USPS is better as a private corporation is the worst April Fools con around. #Savethepostoffice #usmailnotforsale #usps

"People think the price of a carton of eggs is too much. Well, if the post office gets privatized, add shipping costs to what we buy online — that will be astronomical" #SaveThePostOffice #USMailNotForSale #USPS

It takes a hero!!! #usmailnotforsale #savethepostoffice

I stopped by The Butler Institute of American Art yesterday after supporting the USPS Rally in the Valley peaceful protest. Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr The Art is on the Wall Not the posters. I've been wanting to see this show for awhile the display ends today.

Wow! The creativity that people are putting into stepping up for our public Postal Service is awe inspiring! #savethepostoffoce #usmailnotforsale

“Evil”? This guy would shut your Post Office, lay off the workers & jack up shipping costs. Not to mention social security cuts, VA cuts, research grants cut for cancer treatments etc. The billionaire crying “evil” because people are’t buying his self-destructing trucks, smells of brimstone!
