One year into this stupid task force and everyone knows still what they knew in the first place: it exists only to show everyone that our racist government can wreak whatever cruelty it likes. #abolishICE #freethe901 #endtheoccupation #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A downtown plaza. Gov't building in the background. A small group of people, facing to the right, a bit back on the right. In the foreground on the left, two people. On the far left, a person in a dark hoodie, reflective glasses, and a medical mask. Their hands rest on the top of a chrome flagpole, just beneath their chin. Affixed to the pole is a USA flag, upside-down. Just to that person's right is a person in a gray cap and black t-shirt, looking at the viewer. In one hand, this person holds a sign: "FREE MEMPHIS MANE; FREE THE 901"

A bus full of kidnapped immigrants sits in the parking lot of Wilson Air, the Memphis FBO that supports ICE flights. Later, the bus would drive onto the ramp and its human cargo would be loaded onto Air Wisconsin’s N465AW for a transfer flight to Louisiana. Cruelty, sponsored by #WilsonAir
A prisoner transport bus with high-security windows is visible in the parking lot of Wilson Air in Memphis. The bus came from a nearby ICE CoreCivic facility in Mason, Tennessee. It’s full of kidnapped immigrants about to be sent to a concentration camp in Louisiana. The sign outside Wilson Air Center, the Memphis FBO collaborating with ICE flights

The Memphis Unsafe Task Farce was rotten the day it started, one year ago. It's even rotten-er, today. #abolishICE #endtheoccupation #freethe901 #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A suburban street. A dense crowd of people approaching. Most of the people are shouting. Most of the people hold signs: "OPPORTUNITY NOT OCCUPATION"; "NO NAT'L GUARD"; "I MARCHED IN 1968 - STILL MARCHING IN 2020/2022/2025"; "POVERTY ERADICATION NOT MILITARY OCCUPATION"; "STOP KIDNAPING IMMIGRANTS"

This wave is coming in the first week of November. Because voters can't wait to bury a fully corrupted GOP, a declaration of "martial law" is almost certainly coming, too. Watch for it at a USA near you. #abolishICE #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A street in downtown Memphis. Tall buildings in the background, on the left and right. Blue sky. At bottom, a dense crowd of people, filling the street, moving toward the viewer. Most people hold signs: "TRAITOR RAPIST UGLY MORON PEDOPHILE"; "IF YOU REALLY LOVE your GOD you'll LOVE your FELLOW MAN!"; "NATIONAL PIG"; "KINGS FALL WHEN PEOPLE RISE"; "You think the only people who are people Are the people who think like you"; "NO KINGS"

Color. Day. Urban park space. Tall buildings and sky in the background. In the foreground, low, a group of people, mostly with their backs to the viewer. One person has dark, long, maroon braids gathered at the back of their head. Another has short-cropped, bright yellow hair. Another wears a long, dark grey cloak and a hat that evokes widards of fantasy literature. On a stick, this person holds aloft a white sign on which are black and red block letters: "NO BLOOD 4 OIL"

ICE didn't come to Memphis to stop violent crime. ICE came to start it. #abolishICE #freethe901 #V901 #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A segment of a dense crowd. Many are holding signs above their heads. "ICE ARE MURDERERS; ICE, CALL YO UBER!!!"; "ICE KILLS; STOP THE VIOLENCE; GET OUT OF OUR CITY!"

Brief press conference by outstanding ACLU lawyers and upstanding plaintiffs. Some folks who won't let a fascist, racist gov't and its Memphis Un-safe Task Force drag us all into a civic cess-pit. #abolishICE #freethe901 #V901 #ACLU
Color. Day. A wide city sidewalk, rising from downstage towards the left. A jumble of people on the sidewalk. Out of focus in the foreground: a person on the left in sunglasses and a blue jacket holding a microphone straight our with their downstage arm; on the far right, a person turned profile to the left, with black hair and wearing a black suit, apparently reading from a cellphone; a stand of news microphones between the two people in the foreground. In focus, on the far left in the background: two tall men facing forward and between them a shorter woman turned profile to the right, holding a cellphone to her ear. In focus at center in the background: six people of various heights, arranged in a loose, inward facing circle. Two of the six—one tall and one short—have their backs to the viewer. The shorter of the two has long brown hair and wears a black, knee-length skirt and black heels. The taller has short black hair and wears a black suit. Facing the camera on the left of this group is a tall person with long brown-blonde hair wearing black and white and sunglasses; a person with long-ish brown hair in a black-and-white dress, and with glasses perched on their head; a person with long red hair, whose head is just visible above the shoulder of the person in the black suit; and just visible over the other shoulder, the face of the past person, with black hair.

Mayor Young cleared everything up. When you see MPD driving ICE agents around, it's not collaboration. MPD is strapped, because of the many police brutality lawsuits. So, says Young, when there aren't any calls, MPD officers are driving for Uber to bring in cash. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings
Color. Day. The midsection of a Memphis Police Department car. An MPD officer is in the driver's seat. An ICE agent, in one of those stupid vests, is in the front passenger seat.

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
You're reading right. An _IRS_ agent, swaggering around a traffic stop that disappeared 3 men in an unmarked van. Must be quite seductive when a racist gov't comes to your cubicle and says, "Put down that marginal tax rate, for now, here's a _gun_." #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A suburban streetside. The front end of a white, four-door pickup, nose at center and extending our the right side of the frame. The driver's door and driver's side passenger door—which opens in reverse—are open. In the gap framed by the open doors stand a TN state trooper in his stupid hat and a tall man in a black cap and a black version of those stupid vests. On the back of the black vest are white letters: "POLICE IRS-CI." Walking around the truck's front end, and facing the viewer, is a woman with lon brown hair, gathered at the back of her head. She wears one of those stupid vests, marked "HSI."

I met a white guy whom the Memphis (Un)safe Task Force pulled over because his motorcycle had no license plate, at all. And he didn't have a license to operate a motorcycle. The agents assured him that they only wanted "criminals and guns."
B&W. Day. A small part of a big crowd of teenagers. At center, a teen holds a big, white sign with black lettering. Her eyes and dark hair sit above the sign: "IT WAS NEVER ABOUT CRIMINALS."

No coordination goin' on. These Memphis police officers wondered about the Rotten Tomatoes rating for the new Paw Patrol movie and Buffalo Bill ICE Guy is just looking it up for 'em. Just another of those silly-a** posts. Right, Mayor? #abolishICE #freethe901 #V901 #mayoryounglies
Color. Day. A parking lot. At center, three men in black Memphis Police Department uniforms, standing in an inward facing arc and a fourth guy wearing a black "POLICE" vest over plain clothes. Their attention is directed to the left and a man in a big, white cowboy hat, with long, curly, dark hair, a mustache, grown and cut to extend out from his face and curl at the ends, and a roughly cut goatee beard. This man wears tight denim jeans buckled at his waist with a large, shiny metal buckle. He has a sidearm in a holster on his belt. He's also wearing one of those stupid vests, marked HSI. While the four MPD officers look at him, this man in the cowboy hat is looking at a phone that he is holding in both hands.

You're not seeing things. That's an ICE agent climbing into the front passenger seat of a Memphis Police Department car. No collaboration between MPD and Ice, my silly-a**. Right Mayor? #abolichICE #freethe901 #mayoryounglies #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A narrow suburban lane, running from downstage right to just left of center in the far distance. The lane is plugged by a double column of Memphis Police Department and TN state trooper cars. A grass-bordered sidewalk runs up the left side of the frame. Four cars back, an ICE agent in one of those stupid vests is climbing into the front passenger seat of a car, behind the open door that clearly displays the word "POLICE". At the same distance, a national guardsman stands on the sidewalk. His full battle-camo get-up looks godawful stupid on this tiny suburban lane.

Pretty much sums it up. #abolishICE #freethe901 #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A major urban avenue running left-to-right in front of an old, empty federal building in the background. The building has four Greek columns at the top of a broad flight of steps. Y'know. That kind of building. Some of the windows are broken. One of the first floor windows is boarded up from the inside. A crowd of people walks on the avenue, from right to left. At center, a person holding up a white sign with black lettering: "IMMORAL CRUEL EVIL"

Mike Johnson leads the GOP out of Congress for the early vacation that protects the alcoholic idiot running the military into the ground. #mikejohnsonblows #hegsethisablitheringidiot #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A crowd standing along a public sidewalk that runs from downstage center to just above center in the far background. Most of the crowd on the right is turned to the street that is just visible, with a couple of cars, at the far right. The left side of the sidewalk is clear enough to allow a line of people, approaching the viewer. At the front of that line, on the left in the near foreground, a man with thin-framed glasses in full court-jester costume, colored purple, green, and yellow, including a kind of harlequin patchwork design on one side of the costume's top and a hat with three large "tentacles," of each of the costume's three colors.

On mail-in voting, SCOTUS wondrously said no, for once, to the murder clown. But we also learn that Offal Office the Hutt has DHS agents—right now—deliberately violating all sorts of laws in the mission of corrupting our elections. #stopthesteal #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. The small street that crosses in front of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, coming from the background left to the foreground, lower-right. A crowd walking in the street. Most of the crod hold signs. On the right, a few people hold a long white banner with black text: "HANDS OFF OUR VOTES." In the lower left, a man with a white sign and black lettering: "GOP = KKK". A person just right of center holds up a light green sign with green lettering: "Unite; Save Democracy". The NCRM's entryway—including its own name chiseled deeply into the brick wall looming above the marchers—is in the background on the right.

Remember that flushed $20 billion? He's nearly bankrupted the Kennedy Ctr, he keeps saying he doesn't care about "affordability," and people really think he's gonna send 'em $5K checks. Altogether, the USA is the stupidest country on earth. #abolishICE #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

A bit of a change of pace, today. We still need to #abolishICE. Also: colleges, including my very own, still stomp around as though autism isn't a thing and harming autistic people doesn't harm anyone. Sometimes, ACAB means: Admins Cherish Autistomisic Bias. #autism #autismintheacademy #thanksrfkjr
Color. Day. A public park. A small portion of a larger group of people. At center: A person with dark, curly hair wearing a light green t-shirt and jeans. Their arms are at their sides, and their hands hold a cardboard sign on which it pink, green, and red lettering: "NOTHING ABOUT IS WITHOUT US."

B&W. Day. A parking area in front of a suburban school. The school is visible in the background. In the near foreground, on the left, a person dressed for winter weather, and with a Mexico flag wrapped around their shoulders is turned 3/4 towards the inside of the frame. They have swiveled their eyes to the viewer. They hold a white sign with black lettering: "Jesus told us to LOVE our neighbors, NOT to DEPORT THEM."

Because it's my namesake, the town of Mason should leave to me the decision to end the town's contract with the folks running the immigrant detention facility. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #releasethefiles
B&W. Day. A gravel paved parking area for an old storefront in a tiny, rural town. Out of focus in the near foreground on the right, and only partly in the frame, and older man in a striped shirt, turned partly toward the viewer and smiling. A woman stands on the far left in a short dress, turned away from the viewer. Just to the left of center: A statue of liberty, standing on a concrete pedestal. From gravel parking to the top of the torch is ten or twelve feet. Behind and to the statue's right is the old storefront, angled so that it's near corner is to the right of center and its far corner is just to the statue's left, in the distance. White lettering on the storefront's large window: "MASON POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICE 901-294-2100 AFTER HOURS 901-475-4300". A small crowd of people has gathered behind the statue at the storefront door.

Color. Day. A brick-paved, elevated walkway, across the lower foreground. A gray pipe-rail along the walk's edge crosses the lower half. In the space behind the rail, several blocky white-and-brown university buildings, jumbled together in a pile that rises toward the background. In the far background, over the tops of the blocky buildings, sharp-edged, snow-capped mountain peaks, crossing the top of the frame. A bit of blue sky and clouds at the very top.

It has been painted with wide reddish-orange squiggles and thick blue dots by Keith Haring. In the driver's mirror: a camera and aman's face squinting behind it. In the upper left is a sunlit hallway extending to the distance. On the left, a bald man is seated on the floor, his back to the viewer. He wears a blue backpack.

Color. Day. A public park. Many people standing around. A couple people on the right wearing the orange and yellow vests of marshals for a march.

B&W. Day. Looking down main street, running from the lower left to upper right in the far distance. Poles with crossbars for trolley cables on each side are close-set, running from the upper left to the upper right in the far distance. Trees above, on both sides. The street is packed tightly with people, most of whom hold up white signs on which is black block lettering: "I AM A MAN"; "I AM A WOMAN"; "I AM A PERSON"; "POOR PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN". With his back to the viewer, one man stands in front of the crowd holding both fists high in the air. In the lower right corner, and out-of-focus in the very near foreground, the head and hat of a police officer, turned toward the left.

The parking area used by Crosstown High School. The head of Crosstown security says to me: "This is just MPD. No federal agents, here." I say: "I'm looking at federal agents while you're saying this." MPD and ICE, folks. It's like they're engaged to be married. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings
Color. Day. A small part of a parking lot. A few large vehicles in the background. One is black. The others are white. Between some stubby shrubs in the foreground and the vehicles in the background stand five people, from left to right: (1) A woman in a dark jacket. Her back is to the viewer. (2) A man in a blue shirt and white cap. His back is to the viewer. He wears a stupid black vest, on the back of which is printed: "MEMPHIS POLICE AUTO THEFT TASK FORCE". (3) A man in a light blue shirt and dark blue cap. He is turned a bit toward the viewer. A lanyard rests on his shirt. (4) A man in a gray shirt and red cap, turned in profile to the left. He is wearing a stupid vest on the back of which is written: "HSI." A shiny badge is on his hip. (5) A man in an army-green shirt and matching cap. He is standing in profile, but his face is turned to the viewer. He wears a stupid vest.

Here’s a true story of the Memphis occupation. Earlier today I find myself on an unremarkable lane in a neighborhood near where I live, looking at a crowd of goons branded by the usual letters of the alphabet. I’m standing on the sidewalk across the street while the crowd is poking around a house.
Color. Day. Two images. On top: Several federal goons with big guns and stupid vests. One goon on the right has a dog on a leash. On the left, an FBI goon has a hand on a marshal goon, directing his gaze to the viewer. On bottom: a suburban lane, clogged with the unmarked vehicles of federal goons. On the left, a man with a weedwhacker trims the grass along a sidewalk. On the right, between unmarked vehicles, a tiny, blue-hatter fed-goon.

"We can't comply our way out of tyranny." ICE is a secret police force whose mission is to end democracy in the USA. On the way to that goal, ICE's steroid-addled goons disappear our neighbors and will trample the law to block November voting. #abolishICE #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A chaotic crowd of people in a suburban intersection. Many of them carrying signs: "ICE OUT OF 901"; "ICE OUT"; "ICE OUT NOW"; "NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND"; "WE CAN'T COMPLY OUR WAY OUT OF TYRANNY"

B&W. Day. From near the ground, several not-white teenagers holding signs and in the act of chanting energetically. The sun, at center-top, sends lens flare between the teens' upraised arms. The sign in the center-foreground: "FIGHT IGNORANCE, NOT IMMIGRANTS"

The "HOME" portion of "Home of the Blues" is visible. Standing beneath the arch, several people with signs: a few "FREE THE 901" signs; "FIRST THEY COME FOR THE IMMIGRANTS"; "OPPORTUNITY NOT OCCUPATION".

Two of these men wear military combat-style helmets. The insignia on their stupid vests is: "ICE". Two Memphis Police Department officers stand with these paramilitary murder-clowns.

3am, August 30. The goons loaded up busloads of zip-tied people. _Busloads_, folks. Thank goodness that Memphis Police officers showed up just in time to protect the heavily armed goons from the crowd of concerned citizens. #abolishICE #freethe901 #V901 #nokings
Color. Night. The front of a suburban strip mall. On the left, the back end of a "Bus Max" white rental bus with Georgia plate EGZ500. at center, crowded against the side of the bus, a group of federal agents in those stupid vests. Visible insignia include "HSI." A line of short, dark haired women—their faces blurred—moves between the stupid agents, apparently into the bus. On the far right, out of focus in the foreground (standing in the street) is a man in a dark cap and balaclava. He wears one of those stupid vests.

Entertaining the troops by showing his @$$ to the camera, is MPD clown M. Lampley, who was _present_ when MPD officers killed Tyre Nichols. The national guard killed Tyrin Johnson, last month. This is the Memphis horrorshow made by MPD, ICE, and the NG. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nationalguardgohome
Color. Day. A small suburban lane. In the foreground on the right, on the viewer's side of the street, a man in a blue shirt holds a phone-camera, directed towards the far side of the street. Visible in this little street are two TN state trooper SUVs, an unmarked SUV, an MPD SUV, and the front and back end of two MPD cars. The vehicles are arranged in parallel lines, blocking more than half of the passageway. In a space between the vehicles, on the far side of the street, an MPD officer bends over to point his ass at the phone camera. Left of the MPD ass is a cluster of two HSI-ICE agents in stupid vests and another MPD officer. Directly behind the MPD ass are two national guard soldiers, laughing broadly. To the right, standing between vehicles so that only their heads are visible, are two TN state troopers.

Per TN's stupid law, the ICE goons yell at a V901 observer to get back 25 feet. "I'm already back more than 25 feet," he says. They tackle him and keep him cuffed for an hour. Someone shows up with a measuring tape: 48 feet. The geniuses didn't know 25 feet by _double_. #abolishICE #V901 #nokings
Color. Sunset. A broad suburban street running from foreground, lower left to close background on the mid-right. A gray SUV at center, just out-of-focus, in the middle of the street, headlights on. The left-rear door is open. A tall-ish ICE agent is behind the door. In the foreground on the left, an ICE goon in one of those stupid vests stands with one foot in the street and one foot up on the grassy curb. She has long, straight, blonde hair under a dark cap. Her body is in profile, but her head is turned toward the viewer. "HSI" in yellow letters is visible on her stupid vest. On the right, a man wearing glasses and a t-shirt sits on the grassy curb with his feet in the gutter. His arms are cuffed behind him. His face is turned toward the viewer. Behind the seated man is another ICE goon with a dark beard. He wears a stupid vest and a brown cap.

Deport hate. #freethe901 #abolishICE
Color. Day. Broad, brick sidewalk. Tall buildings on both sides. A ten-foot information kiosk, shaped like a squat obelisk, rises from the walk. One of the obelisk's four vertical edges is aligned at center. A map affixed to the obelisk's facing side on the right, a photograph or painting of a white building on the facing side on the left.Coming around the stage-right side of the kiosk, in the foreground, two white people, looking at each other with big smiles. The person with long blonde hair is partly blocked by a sign that drops off the stage-right edge in the very near foreground. Some fingers are wrapped around this white sign on which is blue text and cartoon-style drawing of children under a yellow sun beside a green checkmark. The visible text on the sign: "Concen... Camp." The second person on stage-right holds a small sign in one hand. The sign is lime-green with red text and a black cartoon-style drawing of a pig wearing a hat on which the word "ICE" is printed. This sign's text: "ABOLISH". Coming around the left of the kios are several more people. The person in front, with long black hair, wears the garb of an indigenous population of the Americas, including a broad, fantail-type headdress of long, dark feathers. What appears to be a flag of Mexico hangs on their back like a cape. Their stage-left arm is raised and holds what seems to be a second feathered headdress. A person at the back of this group holds a large white sign that is partly obscured by feathers ahead of it: "DEPORT HATE NOT..."

Soooo... national guard person... what have you been up to? More than 100K people without electricity, at one point. Temperatures pushing 100. Food crisis. Traffic lights down. What _have_ you been doing to serve your community? #abolishICE #freethe901 #nationalguardgohome #nokings
Color. Day. Looking up from a sidewalk just off Beale Street. Blue sky and clouds on the left. On the right, the four-story wall of a building on which a giant banner is hung. The banner is black with white and yellow text: "TENNESEE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD: YOU JOINED TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY. SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MEMPHIS? NotWhatYouSignedUpFor.org"

USS LINCOLN SAILOR: “Heartbreaking… I don't know how I can mentally continue working 12-hour days knowing my dad is somewhere possibly being treated like a criminal.” Joshua Aviles’ father was grabbed by ICE. DHS did not dispute he has no criminal record. (From CBS)

The storm demonstrated conclusively that imposing national guard on Memphis was just a fascist circle $#%&. The troops themselves are dupes and tools. Really good at walking up and down Beale St. with their weapons. Useless for anything else. #freethe901 #V901 #nationalguardgohome #abolishICE
Color. Day. A city street. Some trees and blue sky in the background. Several people on the street. At center, someone holding a large cardboard sign, with multi-colored and stylish lettering, in front of their face: "FOOD NOT TROOPS"Color. Day. Looking up Beale Street. At center in the foreground: A traffic barrier on which is a sign that prohibits vehicles including bikes, scooters, and hoverboard. Beside it, a smaller sign: "NO FIREARMS ALLOWED." That sign has the image of a red circle with a bisecting line placed over a handgun. Walking up the sidewalk in the background is a gaggle of four national guardsmen and an MPD officer. All are armed.

More than fifty thousand people in Memphis still without power this morning. Food insecurity rising with the soaring temperature. And I've seen neither hide nor hair of General Gerkoff, here, and his band of weekend cosplay-killers. #freethe901 #V901 #abolishICE #donttellmeitsaboutsafety
Color. Day. Looking down two rows of MPD and unmarked "law enforcement" vehicles. In the space between the rows, a solder in camouflage and a stupid vest holds a phone camera to his eye, pointed at the person making the photo.

These goons swarm like locusts for pancakes, Xmas parades, and terrorizing neighborhoods in the dead of night. But when the power is out to a third of the city and traffic lights all over are down, these meat sacks are nowhere. _Nowhere_. #abolishICE #donttellmeitsaboutsafety #freethe901 #V901
Color. Day. Strip mall parking lot. A phalanx of twelve state troopers milling about their motorcycles. On the left, a Border Patrol SUV is driving away. In the background: storefront of The Pancake Shop.Color. Day. The crosswalk of an intersection. At least ten men and women in those stupid vests, lined up side-to-side. Other people milling about.Color. Night. A crowd of agents in those stupid vests, pressed against the tall gate at the end of a driveway.

While one third of this city is still without power this morning, is the murder-clown's data center operating? #freethe901 #nodatacenters #billionairescanbiteme
B&W. Day. A public park. Several people standing in a group. At center, a sign, resting on the ground in front of someone's legs. White background, black lettering: "DE-MUSK AMERICA". At the center of the sign: a circle with a bisecting line atop a nazi swastika.

Welcome to Wilson Air Center: Memphis's sky gateway! Whether your adventure is a luxury vacation or whisking fifty-seven-year-old Peruvian women away from family and lawyers, we have everything your flight needs—from jet fuel, to hot tarmac, to leg shackles. #abolishICE #V901 #nokings
Color. Day. Dominating the near foreground on the left, a blue and white sign set in well-tended shrubberies, apparently where an entry drive meets a major city street. Beside a charmingly rendered "W" on the sign, simple blue text on a white background: "WILSON AIR CENTER." Just beneath, a horizontal blue stripe across the sign, on which are white block letters: "2930". In the background on the right, between the near shrubberies below and overhanging tree branches above, the back end of a white bus, parked on the entry drive. Various cars and trucks in the vicinity. One end of a large airplane hangar, painted white.Color. Day. Seen from a distance through a chainlink fence about halfway between: the tarmac of a small airport. A squarish, gray airport tower at center in the distant background. On the left of the tarmac, a small-ish white jet, nose almost at center and fuselage stretching back to the left. The front end of a white bus is positioned at the jet's nose. The bus's body stretches horizontally to the right. Jus behind and below where the jet's nose and the bus's front end meet, one can see that the jet's gangway is down. The bus has been positioned to block viewing anyone walking up that gangway.

Memphis police were at this scene, talking with Unsafe Task Force goons, who then drove away in a truck with no license plate of any sort. That's not trivial. Here, MPD—which stops drivers on the flimsiest pretexts and then kills them—did nothing. #abolishICE #MPDfails #nokings #impeachandremove
Color. Night. The back end of a silver Dodge pickup truck, illuminated by the askance headlights of another vehicle. In the background on the right, an MPD squad car is visible. The Dodge truck has no license plate of any kind.

So very, very, very past due. #nokings #nowar #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A public plaza. Several pairs of legs and the feet attached to them. At center, an upside-down sign rests on a set of toes. White block letters on black background: "AMERICAN REGIME CHANGE"
