In its continued attack against social services and workers, the Trump administration has set its sights on the United States Postal Service (USPS). Amid growing threats to the USPS, workers organized with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) staged rallies across the country in defense of their livelihoods and the essential national service.

      I don’t get this rhetoric. Americans started the largest civil rights protests in human history against police brutality in 2020 with the George Floyd protests. And, it included the destruction of a police station in Minnesota.

        The rhetoric is probably because your leadership is backstabbing its allies, allying with dictators and removing rights and dignity for its own citizens. But I’m just guessing.

          and removing rights and dignity for its own citizens

          Yeah, shitty rhetoric. What our “leaders” do and what the people do are mutually exclusive. You’re still not addressing the fact that Americans have a strong history of rebellion and protest that is going to look different than the highly homogenized and concentrated countries in Europe.

            What do you mean they’re mutually exclusive?

            I’m all for you guys getting of the couch, and I’ll be happy to hear about your protests?
