The #Postal Inspection Service is primarily tasked with maintaining the safety of the #mail system, investigating threats & attacks on postal workers & mail facilities & keeping illegal items — such narcotics & child pornography — out of the mail [because they’ve done such a great job at that 🤦🏼‍♀️].

The #postal #collaboration is a significant escalation in the #Trump admin’s #immigration *crackdown*. #DHS officials [& #Musk’s #DOGE] have previously partnered with #tax, #housing & #PublicHealth authorities. But the involvement of the Postal Inspection Service, the nation’s oldest #LawEnforcement agency, means efforts to pursue #undocumented #immigrants have expanded into one of the most mundane govt activities: delivering the #mail.

One sad aspect of the advertising industry's switch from dead-tree postal spam to email, online ads, and in-app paid placements...

Once upon a time, when businesses sent postage-paid reply cards with their spam, if they were truly obnoxious, you could cost them (real) money by putting a rock or a brick in a box and taping the reply card to the outside. Some people just taped the card to a literal brick, no box.

I pity the postal employees who had to handle and deliver these, but I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the mailroom at the offending companies' offices.

🚫🥔 Wow, what a #groundbreaking #exposé on the elusive art of sending tubers via #postal #services, only to be thwarted by a #digital #gatekeeper. Apparently, the only thing more forbidden than #potato #mail is actually #reading about it! 🔒📦

I just want to put out there that there are real strong virtues to writing letters and sending greeting cards that aren’t necessarily “present” in emails.

• They get you off line.

• They help you craft thoughts carefully and purposefully in ways email can’t because you have to manually write it without “deleting” it.

• They’re fun to receive.

• They physically exist and will continue to do so if collected and cared for even after you’re dead.

• They can be pretty if that’s your intent.

• They’re more personal and meaningful than email because you took the time to engage in the process of penmanship on paper instead of typing it out.

I highly suggest trying the art of correspondence someday. Because it can be just that if you let it. Try unplugging and decompressing with a nice pot of tea and your favorite pen & stationery. Try contemplating a rough outline of what you want to say or include. Then simplify.

Maybe do some fun doodling on the paper. Make it an extension of yourself that you’re sharing.

Enjoy it.
