I know “Read Me My Rights” from the great cover by Ann Peebles from 1992. It was co-written by Jonny Neel and Delbert McClinton who both recorded it.

Fighting back against USPS plan to buy trucks fueled by gas
This was a terrible idea by DeJoy. Many Republicans don’t believe in climate change.
A key House panel announced plans to question senior U.S. Postal Service officials about the agency’s decision to buy as many as 148,000 gas-guzzling mail delivery trucks despite directives from the Biden administration to green the federal fleet https://t.co/PUKxmLQWIc

The Post Office Is Buying Gas-Powered Trucks, Despite Biden Climate Order. The president wants an electric federal fleet, but Postmaster Louis DeJoy is spending billions on gas-powered vehicles. That’s prompted scrutiny and calls for his resignation. https://t.co/TM5pCVYZIa pic.twitter.com/g0qiru5t7x

“Electric vehicles are generally more mechanically reliable than gas-powered vehicles & would require less maintenance,” the report said. “Energy costs will be lower for EVs, as using electricity to power an electric vehicle is cheaper than using gasoline” https://t.co/IH8xSH7sjf

“The President’s comments today made plain that he will manipulate the operations of the Post Office to deny eligible voters the ballot in pursuit of his own reelection. The President’s own words confirm: he needs to cheat to win.'

This is really serious. Trump is blatantly trying to manipulate the election in his favor by crippling the post office, in order to disqualify as many ballots as possible. Democrats need to make a big deal out of this *now*. If it's not fixed soon, we need mass (masked) protests. https://t.co/ZoCB6OcQXo
