Hi everyone! A short #Introduction. Firstly, thanks to @hello for taking in this digital refugee! I've been posting about #Coins, #Tokens, #Medallions and #PNCs (#Postal #Numismatic Covers) for a number of years on my blog: coinofnote.com/ - I've moved over from historians.social as they were closing and I look forward to sharing #Numismatic information and news here, and most importantly - I look forward to seeing what YOU have to share!

Pictured are a couple of examples of pieces I have written about:

The Guardian · Postal services around the world suspend deliveries to US: how will it affect you?By Luca Ittimani

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 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 🤦🏼‍♀️].

Continued thread

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.

Continued thread

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?!?!?
