This is Louis DeJoy. He is the huge Trump DONOR who Trump made the Postmaster General of the United States. He is trying to DESTROY the US Postal Service to help Trump steal an election.

We need to make him famous.
Louis DeJoy gave $2,000,000 to the Republican Party under Trump who rewarded him by making him the head of the Postal Service DESPITE NO EXPERIENCE AT THE POST OFFICE.

The first thing he did was CUT SERVICES & create a MASSIVE BACKLOG of mail delivery.

“The cardinal rule is, ‘don’t delay the mail,’ and we’re in a 180-degree switch where we’re delaying mail every day,” adding that if the system is not fixed before election season, “it’s going to be a catastrophe.”

THIS IS ON PURPOSE.

Some of Louis DeJoy's changes which have crippled the US Postal Service:

- Shutting down mail-sorting machines so workers must do it by hand.

- Requiring letter carriers to LEAVE MAIL BEHIND to avoid extra trips.

- Prohibiting overtime pay.

This has created a massive backlog.
Louis DeJoy’s wife also works for Trump.

Trump has openly LIED for a long time that mail in voting is unsafe. There is NO EVIDENCE of this.

It is very clear that Trump’s plan is to create suspicion around voting while DeJoy cripples mail delivery.

WE MUST STOP HIM.

When I was 15 a homeless man came up to my father and asked for some change. My dad gave him five bucks. The man smiled & walked away.

I said, “Dad, why’d you give him so much?”

He said, “I just made his day for five bucks. How often can you make someone’s day for five bucks?”
Another story: One day when I was in high school, a man knocked on our door. He was selling some kind of subscription service and when my father said we weren’t interested, the man became agitated. He was a big guy, and there was a kind of threat in his voice - an instant anger.
My dad slammed the door in his face and all we could hear was, “Sonofabitch!” echoing down the street.

My dad said, “He just got out. That’s a program for ex-cons. He probably doesn’t know how to act yet.”

I could see the thought working on him.

I've spent a lot of my life studying cults. I was born in one, we escaped when I was very young. We witnessed mass denial, magical thinking, abuse, violence.

And I just want to say for the record there is a cult gathering happening in Tulsa today.
The people saying they'd "rather die" than question the leader, the people attacking anyone who disagrees with the leader, expelling them like heretics, people lost in a bubble of misinformation which they'll defend violently.

Let's just say it's all very...familiar.
The thing about cults is the damage is as often emotional as physical. As kids we were separated from our parents and put in an orphanage.

For those asking here is an excerpt from my book published last month in Time Magazine.

It's called Hollywood Park.

Wow. I'm honored and humbled and excited to announce my memoir, HOLLYWOOD PARK, debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list.

I just want to say, you spend your whole life repeating other's ideas until one day you realize you have your own story to tell. Thank you. Truly.
I haven't talked about this much on Twitter bc, I don't know, it feels like social media isn't the best way to get personal stories across and I'd rather just be a writer and meet you on the windswept plain of page 200 or something. I spent 3 years in this room writing this book.
"A Gen-X This Boy's Life. Hollywood Park is a triumph."
