#BettyWhite now has her own #ForeverStamp from the #USPS , thanks to Boston-area artist #DaleStephanos .

It took him about a year to design and complete. At the request of Betty's family, he included references to her work championing the cause of #AmimalRights , the most obvious symbol being the pawprint earring.

Stephanos' image of Betty brilliantly captures her sense of mischief and fun, by perfectly portraying her joyful smile and sparkling eyes.

#BettyWhiteStamps are now available for purchase through the U.S. Postal Service.

Per WSJ:
#Trump plans to take over the US Postal Service (USPS) possibly this week. He plans to fire the governing board and place the USPS under the control of the Commerce Department (which, of course, resides in the Executive Branch of the government, so it would effectively be under his control).

' [Trump] often claims to care about lost American jobs, and to speak for Americans who live in the heartland... Why, then, is he considering sacrificing hundreds of thousands of good jobs ordinary people across the country are relying on to provide for their families? And why would he want to put basic mail delivery in low-volume rural areas in jeopardy by tossing the keys to corporations for whom this would be unprofitable? '

jacobin.comPrivatizing the Post Office Would Be a DisasterYesterday Donald Trump confirmed that he’s considering privatizing the US Postal Service. That would be a big step in the direction of a libertarian dystopia.

#USPostalService
The postal service is established by the US Constitution and isn't supposed to be profitable but provide service to all people and all areas.
