Today we held a small demonstration in Jim Thorpe to support the U.S. Postal Service. About 20 people stood along 209 by the Courthouse Annex with signs. We pointed out that Ben Franklin started the Post Office, but now Louis DeJoy was wrecking it. We noted that vets and seniors got their medicine by postal delivery. We pointed out that many seniors receive their checks through the Post Office. We noted that the slowdown was deliberate.
The response was heartening. People waved, gave thumbs up, honked their horns, and spoke to us. After the demonstration we took flowers and cupcakes down to the Jim Thorpe Post Office to thank the postal employees for their hard work and service.
It is truly amazing that the Trump administration is doing its best to wreck an American institution as beloved as the Post Office. Maybe it isn’t amazing.
