THREAD: We know how critical the @USPS is, especially for this election and we know Trump is trying to steal it. Again. But the right-now, can’t-wait issue is medication. A man said yesterday his cancer meds are 12 days overdue! Life-sustaining Insulin delivery is delayed 1/
which, btw, is rendered useless in heat. Cold pack packaging can only stay cold so long. Roughly 34% of Americans get at least some of their prescriptions by mail. 12% are required to use mail-order by their insurance plans. (source: PubMed.gov - unvetted) 2/
Asthma medication, Epi pens, blood pressure meds, blood thinning (cardiac) meds, anti-depressants - much needed medications are now stalled or severely delayed due to Trump’s attack on the post office 3/
Talk to your mail carriers. Call your local branch and discuss preparedness. They are taking actions independently to ensure our votes get through and get counted. But we have to help. Call your local Reps! Buy stamps, envelopes, packaging, cards, swag. Donate. 5/
Meanwhile, the USPS IG is digging into DeJoy and the Constitutional issues. Medication cannot wait. People’s lives are on the line and Democracy is hanging by a very worn thread 6/
Thank you @SenatorTester for helping stop the removal of post boxes west of the Mississippi. And give @APWUnational - they are in the fight -/-#BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica #SaturdayMotivation #USPSsabotage #TrumpFailedAmerica
