I have watched the numbers rise and it has gone up over 20 thousand followers just since posting and retweeting.

This movement is starting to get traction, keep retweeting and let your friends know!

DU rocks!

Any problems they encounter as attempts to slow mail. This way it's clear evidence for Congress, ACLU &States AGs suing this corrupt admin.

Medicine not being delivered to Vets, etc...this is getting traction and is about to blow up on social media. Trump and DeJoy may not have known what they were doing when they messed with a 200 year old agency that knows the names of EVERY American citizen and most people in the US know their letter carrier.

I am so hoping this keeps exploding.

This is all on Trump.

This will not go well for them at all. The USPS serves all Americans. It is not a business, it is a service.

I agree we have to get him out of office. I will crawl over broken glass if I have to.

Here is a link to a cheaper alternative to a scuba suit if you want...lol My wife made me buy one for if I have to vote in person.

It's a small thing--Twitter isn't going to solve this problem--but I feel as though the decent people of this country are starting to pull together.

I still feel helpless and utterly disbelieving that our country is being kneecapped like this by its own leaders--inconceivable at one point but life as we know it now--but at least the administration's crimes are happening in plain sight.

A big K&R for this information and I've shared this post to my political group on Facebook. We have been wondering what could be done.
