Trump has called the US postal service ‘a joke’. But don’t expect Amazon to replace it | Niamh Rowe https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/26/trump-postal-service-amazon #Trumpadministration #USPostalService #DonaldTrump #USpolitics #Business #Amazon #USnews
A *lot* of small businesses depend on smallish shipments from abroad, either to resell--wherein they don't have enough storage and funds to buy larger amounts--or because they need smallish amounts of essential components of the things they make.
Ending the de minimis exception is already fucking them over; this holiday season is going to bankrupt many of them.
Trump ended the de minimis trade exception, which allowed international packages under US$800 of value to pay no tariffs, on August 29th.
As a result, the volume of mail to the U.S. has dropped by 80% by September 7th.
Droped. by. 80 FUCKING %. in two weeks.
I'm sure it all will be fine for small businesses in the U.S. come holiday season. Just dandy.
ETA: please disregard NPR ending with an asskissing to Trump (fentanyl my ass)

USPS workers sound alarm over Trump efforts to dismantle service: ‘The hounds are at the door https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/24/usps-workers-sound-alarm-over-trump-efforts-to-dismantle-service-the-hounds-are-at-the-door #Trumpadministration #USPostalService #USpolitics #Louisiana #USunions #Business #Wyoming #USnews
Race
In my previous post I speculated on which of the two packages I have shipped over the last few days would arrive at its destination first, thus winning the race. Would it be the USPS package full of 35mm film that shipped out on Saturday or would it be the FedEx envelope with my passport renewal application that shipped out last night?
I have the answer.
The film has arrived at The Darkroom. I can expect my scans to be uploaded to my account in 3-7 business days. In other words, an eternity. Disney and New York on film… coming soon.

A recent audit conducted by the United States Postal Service showed a number of deficiencies in some Houston stations' mail theft prevention efforts.

#PSA: Please be aware that the bullshit effort to "save" money will slow down post delivery in the U.S. starting today, with more changes coming in July. Give some grace to small businesses who are being screwed over on both side.
You may want to call your Congresscritters and demand they save the USPS from privatization.

#BettyWhite now has her own #ForeverStamp from the #USPS , thanks to Boston-area artist #DaleStephanos .
It took him about a year to design and complete. At the request of Betty's family, he included references to her work championing the cause of #AmimalRights , the most obvious symbol being the pawprint earring.
Stephanos' image of Betty brilliantly captures her sense of mischief and fun, by perfectly portraying her joyful smile and sparkling eyes.
#BettyWhiteStamps are now available for purchase through the U.S. Postal Service.

Trump is reportedly mulling over disbanding US Postal Service leadership https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/21/trump-disbanding-usps #Trumpadministration #USPostalService #DonaldTrump #USpolitics #USnews
Per WSJ:
#Trump plans to take over the US Postal Service (USPS) possibly this week. He plans to fire the governing board and place the USPS under the control of the Commerce Department (which, of course, resides in the Executive Branch of the government, so it would effectively be under his control).
