Today in Labor History May 19, 2018: William Burrus, president of the 360,000-member American Postal Workers Union from 2001-2010, died at age 81. He was the first African-American to be elected president of a national union by direct member voting. Burrus was born in West Virginia. After serving in the U.S. Army, he moved to Cleveland, where he worked sorting mail and joined the union. He helped the local coordination of the national postal strike of 1970. As a result of that strike, postal workers won collective bargaining rights. He served as president of the Cleveland Local of the APWU from 1974 to 1980. He became president of the national union in 2001.

The #Postal Inspection Service recently joined a federal #TaskForce to locate #undocumented #immigrants using #data from #mail and #packages, according to people familiar w the effort & records obtained by WaPo. #privacy #civilliberties #communications #medicine #healthcare #checks #salary #families https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/04/29/usps-immigration-trump-deportations/?carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F42521bc%2F681150d765013f765d9610ff%2F63878d81c56b124f952f036c%2F45%2F81%2F681150d765013f765d9610ff
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.
#Immigration officials are seeking photographs of the outside of envelopes & packages — an Inspection Service program known as “mail covers” — & #access to the #postal investigation agency’s broad #surveillance systems, including Postal Service online account #data, package- & #mail-tracking info, #CreditCard data & #financial material & #IP addresses….
The #LawEnforcement arm of #USPS has begun cooperating w/federal #immigration ofcls to locate people suspected of being in the country illegally, acc/to 2 people familiar… & documents obtained by WaPo—dramatically broadening the scope of #Trump’s #MassDeportations campaign.
#US #Postal Inspection Service, a police & investigative force for the #mail agency, joined a #DHS task force geared toward finding, detaining & deporting #undocumented #immigrants….
WTAF?!?!?

I just want to put out there that there are real strong virtues to writing letters and sending greeting cards that aren’t necessary “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.
