Cruel and contradictory: a “Do Not Travel” warning, while 350,000 Haitians with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) are forced to return. Families will be separated, key industries will lose essential workers, and the U.S. economy will suffer. #TPSjustice now! https://seiu.co/4pyzL2x
Opinion | 350,000 Haitians are being sent home. That’s cruel.
The Trump administration is rescinding temporary protected status for 350,000 of them on Feb. 3.

So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

The reason the U.S. is full of masked secret police dragging people to foreign torture prisons and women are sent to prison for seeking abortions, and the reason the UK is a wreck collapsing to fascism is because of neoliberal centrists who hate the left more than they hate fascists.
