People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

Haha you remembered the atrocious art from my last trip. I still have nightmares. 😂

Actually, it could be worse. This time around it's African animals.🦓

That's why it's called a Rant Talk, Steve. 😂

I hate work travel. I'm exhausted, cranky, and annoyed with about 3 different work colleagues for being stupid. And the hotel sucks.

Thank you for coming to my Rant Talk.

Oh, a bit better, thanks! ❤️ Tested for COVID and strep, both negative, so that was good news!

They don't believe that immigrants are human beings.

Whether you're in Chicago or any other U.S. city, remember federal agents and military troops are bound by the Constitution.

Know your rights if you're approached by federal forces.
aclu.org/deployment_kyr
White and blue text: "Know Your Rights when interacting with federal agents, local law enforcement, or military troops: If you get stopped, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, walk or drive away.
If you’re questioned, you can say, “I want to remain silent.” In some cases, you may be required to provide your name, address, immigration status, and/or ID.
If an official asks to search you or your belongings, you have the right to say no, but do not obstruct access. They may have authority to conduct the search anyway. If they begin searching you or your vehicle, say clearly: “I do not consent to a search.”
You do not have to unlock your phone or give government officials your password without a warrant. For additional security, turn off biometric identification such as Face ID.
If law enforcement officers arrest you, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say, or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries."

You have the right to talk about and publicize truthful information that you obtain lawfully, including about what law enforcement officers are doing and where they are doing it.
You have the right to tell people their legal rights. If you are a lawyer, make clear you are not giving legal advice.
You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement.
These officials can’t confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant, nor can they delete data under any circumstances. However, they may order you to move a reasonable distance away. If you think a command is unlawful, it’s safest to follow the order, document the interaction, and challenge it later.
You can ask for officers’ names and badge numbers, as well as who to call if there are follow-up questions."
