If you’re a registered voter in the USA and you think the USPS shouldn’t be just another Trump tool for election interference, you really should consider lodging your objection to this proposed rule during this public comment period.

However, something else to consider, something you should take as a serious, credible threat to your safety:

In order to register a public comment, you must provide your name and address.

Mail or deliver written comments to Director, Product Classification, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW, Room 4446, Washington, DC 20260-5015. Email comments, containing the name and address of the commenter, may be sent to: [email protected], with a subject line of “Ballot Mail.” Faxed comments will not be accepted.

By making your opposition to this rule public, you are providing the Trump regime with everything it needs to know that you oppose its fascist bullshit and where to find you.

If the recent Prairieland convictions and sentencings—as well as the new indictments against 15 protestors in Minnesota—teach us anything, it’s that this government absolutely will attempt to imprison and/or murder all dissenters.

Stay safe, fam.

Is Dallas City Hall Plaza protected park land? That question may lead to a legal battle

“City Hall Plaza is not a commercial real estate commodity. It is a voter-funded public park & the preeminent public square for community assembly in Dallas.”

Texas Local Government Code 253.001(b): Prohibits the sale of any public square or park unless approved by a majority of Dallas voters at an election.

Artist behind Dallas’ Whaling Wall mural calls new paint job ‘shameful’

“They absolutely, disrespectfully, destroyed it. And it's shameful.”

“I'm looking at the big picture. I want to protect all public art, because it's important. Great cities have great public art, and to go in there and deface them, it's not right on any level. They should be embarrassed.”

When Texas was fertile ground for prison bands

"[T]he most moving lyrics are about loneliness, heartache and how incarceration strains families."

“The musicians skated around problems. The officers treated us better. Every song you did on the albums, you’d get $10 for writing it, and if you played at the rodeo, you got $5.”

When Texas was fertile ground for prison bands

Until the 1980s, an annual prison rodeo offered a chance for men inside to perform and sell albums. Now The Marshall Project is making them available to you.
