"The machines are wrapped in yellow caution tape after having been decommissioned and broken down into parts within the last month, according to the #USPS employee who took the photos, who requested anonymity because they are not permitted to take photos inside the facility." https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1296144915303407618">https://twitter.com/kylegriff...
"The delays were particularly tragic for live animals, including baby chickens, that are transported through #USPS. Usually, mail handlers can hear the birds peeping and rustling around in their boxes …
Instead of hearing the gentle sounds of baby chicks, she heard nothing."

“By statute @USTreasury was made responsible for providing the Postal Service with a line of credit.
Treasury was using that responsibility to make demands that I believed would turn #USPS into a political tool, ending its long history as an apolitical public infrastructure.” https://twitter.com/arappeport/status/1296549269529341953">https://twitter.com/arappepor...

Former vice chairman of #USPS Board of Governors: “I expressed concerns after each of the interviews with Louis DeJoy. I urged that a background investigation be conducted.
When I resigned, I cited it as one of my reasons for submitting my resignation to Chairman Robert Duncan.” https://twitter.com/arappeport/status/1296549269529341953">https://twitter.com/arappepor...

In addition to the life-endangering delays of medication + economic hardships caused by late checks and payments, how many millions of dollars& #39; worth of food and merchandise has been destroyed due to Trump& #39;s #USPS sabotage? https://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1296519964589993985?s=19">https://twitter.com/AriBerman...
For decades, #USPS postal carriers have delivered day-old chicks, ducklings and all manner of plants and animals to small farmers and families with backyard hen houses.
Under DeJoy& #39;s "reforms," thousands of them are now turning up D.O.A.

“This is an attack on a tried-and-true service that rural America depends on,” said @ChrisRGibbs, a farmer in western Ohio.
"It pulls one more piece of stability, predictability and reliability from rural America. People don’t like that.” https://twitter.com/Otpor17/status/1296908162348482560">https://twitter.com/Otpor17/s...

"The post office is the only institution mandated to serve them at a flat cost, no matter the weather or how remote they were.
Like a hospital, school or grocery store — all of which have closed across rural America — a post office anchored a town’s survival." #USPSisEssential https://twitter.com/Otpor17/status/1296908162348482560">https://twitter.com/Otpor17/s...

"The #PostalService has yet to provide the family with a reason for the delay … Postal Service officials also did not respond for a request for comment."
