sounds more like they're trying to quibble and prevaricate. They did not deny that this is their policy, nor did they say they would change the policy.
It sounds like the slide was completely accurate and they will still ban their employees from wearing "Blue Lives Matter" but allow "Black Lives Matter"
they are refusing to acknowledge what they admit indirectly in their own post: they allow advocacy and political expression "for racial justice and equity issues", while denying it for issues like supporting law enforcement.

This is a clear example of a "have your cake and eat it too" response to a controversy. They want to pretend that the folks calling them out are wrong, while admitting they are right


also they're so confident in how their response will be received that they disabled twitter responses to it lmao
didn't even know that was a thing

But other Twitter users debunked both posts in comprehensive threads. “This is my post office. These mailboxes are open on the other side, you just have to get out of your car to mail them. It’s been this way for months. This isn’t part of the purge,” one user replied to former NBA player Rex Chapman’s tweet. She then went to the physical location to show the mailboxes were still in use.

A news article from 2016 shows that the local post office had retrofitted the boxes to keep people from breaking into them.

“We do this where we have had incidents, or there is a problem where the box may be out in a not very well lit public place. The boxes have been retrofitted all over Southern California,” a USPS spokesman said at the time.

Photojournalist Gary He also explained in a comprehensive thread why the Hartford, Wisc. post was inaccurate. “They have been there for years,” he explained, saying he spoke to the company which owned the lot and has a government contract to refurbish mailboxes. “Hartford Finishing Inc. powder coats and refurbishes the old mailboxes.” He also criticized Reuters, which took photos of the mailboxes, for labeling their caption “as just an ‘industrial lot’” without providing additional context about the company’s longstanding work salvaging old mailboxes.

I'm used to seeing no-fun-allowed youtube comment sections but I didn't even know twitter had a coward feature

Yeah, sure, a rogue employee...

The key sentence is unambiguous:
"We ask that associates refrain from [...] political campaigning for a party or candidate, as well as similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of racial justice and equity issues."

In other words: supporting political campaigns for racial justice and equity issues (read: liberal issues) is allowed, advocacy for all other types of political issues is not. The controversial double standard shown in the screenshot is thus confirmed, not disproven.
