The Grange, founded after the Civil War in 1867, is the oldest American agricultural advocacy group with a national scope. The Grange actively lobbied state legislatures and Congress for political goals, such as the Granger Laws to lower rates charged by railroads, and rural free mail delivery by the Post Office.’ (wikiwand)

I went here 10.28.25 to buy 4 stamps. “Don’t have , since yesterday” - like McDonald’s saying they don’t have fries
Why don’t you have a sign, so I didn’t stand in line for 5 mins? “Not allowed “The “broken sign “ / a beautiful one there for months #postmastergeneral

General Postmaster leads the Unsentiment Department, but does so in his own way. As the main antagonist of Unsent, he is driven to ensure Valentine’s failure. Download Unsent to put an end to his authoritative rule! #unsent #unsentgame #indiegame #indiedev #game #developer #indie #postmastergeneral

So who will be the new Postmaster General be or has the USPS been purchased by DeJoy and other millionaires/billionaires who will privatize it? #USPS #PostmasterGeneral #DeJoy
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy stepping down immediately – just days after DOGE deal nypost.com/2025/03/24/b... via @nypost #DOGE #PostmasterGeneral #TheDigitalFreePress
Obama has openings in the #USPS Board of Governors. Sanders blocks Obama's nominations. Obama leaves with vacancies in #BOG.
trump nominates & fills vacancies in BOG, as well as #Dejoy for #PostmasterGeneral. Dejoy destroys sorting machines, limits employee hours, changes routing, resulting in […]
Oh FFS, NOW Dejoy is resigning? This is the chance for Dems to show they have SOME power by delaying any confirmation of a #PostmasterGeneral, for years. Biden had the chance to remove Dejoy, he failed.
‘In “The Washington Monument,” from January 1936, Gregor Duncan mocks the Roosevelt’s expansion of the federal bureaucracy. Shown with Roosevelt is Jim Farley, who was simultaneously his postmaster general and the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As this cartoon suggests, Farley used his influence to dispense political patronage.’ https://www.archelaus-cards.com/store/archives/20090321.php

I applaud U @realdonaldtruump.bsky.social by doing SUCH a great job GROOMING your "best people" in your likeness - image and (most of all) behavior. #LouisDeJoy like little child in the corner having a tantrum unwilling to HEAR the #TRUTH (social) of how much he SUCKS as #PostmasterGeneral
Exactly.
#PostmasterGeneral #BenFranklin assured that as a bulwark of personal #liberty and #communication that we may have what he considered the first prerequisite of a working #democracy, an #educated #plebiscite.
#USPS is #NotForSale at any price, nor is it required to turn a profit.

Oh and let’s not forget #LouisDejoy the Trump (paid to play) pick to be #PostMasterGeneral who did nothing but attempt to destroy the #USPS while raking in millions of “compensation”…
Trump appointed U.S. #PostmasterGeneral #LouisDeJoy pulls an insane stunt when confronted by #Republican #RichMcCormick over Postal Service efficiency concerns spiking under DeJoy's leadership during #HouseOversightCommittee hearing John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson discuss
