Disgusting as it is, she has a job to perform and has no authority to determine what mail is sent. This shit needs to be stopped at the source, not by a mail carrier. Either do you job or step aside.

Whenever laws get broken, it’s constantly “I was just doing my job”.

The Postal office can find someone else to do that delivery.

You don’t know how long they’ve been working there. And that directly puts their family at potential harm.

It’s her job to deliver the mail. The only law broken here is her refusal to deliver it. You don’t get to cherry pick the mail system.

If she won’t deliver the mail, she needs to be fired. Period.

She could argue it’s self defence technically. As we all know what shitfuckery advertising like that leads to…

She’s probably been delivering the mail for decades. Just not some bigoted advertising.

It’s not my job to pull down Nazi sticker crap or clean it up, but I do.

Yes management should reject that delivery, but she also has a right not to put her family in harm’s way.

You’re on the wrong side of history on this one, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about this. People who would otherwise agree on most things can have disagreements. That’s what is so great about democracy.

People in positions of leadership and power should stand up to fascists. We are heading into a crucial election on November 5th where a christo-fascist movement, known as MAGA, is attempting to overturn our democracy. Anyone in the position to say no to fascists who has the inclination to do so should should stay in that position for the upcoming election and say no to fascists.

No matter a person’s job, everyone should reject intolerance. This was a disinformation campaign designed to ban gender affirming care, a collection of lifesaving medical treatments. Such a ban would deny trans people the fundamental right to exist. Postal workers should make the strategic decision to defend life and liberty by not spreading such disinformation campaigns.

If you cannot perform the job, don’t apply for the job. If it is going to contain things you disagree with- stay away and get a safer job.

It’s not other people’s problem what someone else can or cannot tolerate.

It has nothing to do with competency. We as a society should reject intolerance. It is very much the fascists problem that we do not tolerate their intolerance. The fascists have broken the social contract of tolerance and thus, in this case, their speech should not be protected by the social contract of tolerance.
