Early voting begins today in Tennessee. Let's make this one count, folks. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #impeachandremove
Color. Day. Blue sky and tufts of white clouds, above and in the background. A crowd of people, standing on grass and a strip of sidewalk. Most people are turned to the left. Two people—one near center and one at the far right, hold aloft USA flags. Other people hold signs. At center: "RESIST FASCISM." At the right, in the near foreground: "TRUMP FOR PRISON."

As I approached, yesterday, I heard one of these Unsafe Task Farce goons say "camera," and the whole clutch of goons, who'd been terrorizing local businesses, immediately got in their cars and drove away. And I had thought that they were incapable of shame. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #V901
Color. Day. A parking lot in a warehouse area of town. Warehouse entrance with a ramp and a USA flag in the background. Across the center: 8 burly, tattooed mens, standing on the blacktop, loosely facing each other. Nearly all wear sunglasses. All have sidearms in holsters. One on the far left, who is talking on a cell phone and two on the far right wear those stupid vests. Another stupid vest is on the blacktop of one of the burly mens, at center.

Maybe $19 million _per month_. That's the Memphis Unsafe Task Farce bill. TN's governor couldn't even _think_ of putting that kind of money into Memphis's schools, infrastructure, social services, etc. No hesitation for cosplay stasi. #freethe901 #endtheoccupation #nokings #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A public plaza. A small section of a large crowd. People in sunglasses and hats. Many holding signs: "FREE PALESTINE"; "FREE THE 901". A sign at the center of the frame: "POVERTY ERADICATION _NOT_ MILITARY OCCUPATION"

Some Memphis city council folks—contrary to the rules—banned Keshaun Pearson, Justin Pearson, and others who stood up, literally and figuratively, to the council's disregard for Memphians. Potentates always treat _speaking_ of the abuse as the problem. #freethe901 #nodatacenters #endtheoccupation
B&W. Day. Inside the Memphis city hall auditorium, where the city council meets. A large crowd. All standing in the proscenium-arrangement rows of fold-down seats, but all facing inward rather than toward the council dais. Standing on a chair bottom, and up above the others, at the center of the circle is a person in a white jacket, in profile, holding a megaphone in both hands at their waist, and a man in a dark suit and tie, facing the viewer, holding a megaphone to his mouth. On the far left, a second man in a dark suit and tie stands above the crowd, in profile, looking towards the center of the crowd. A few people in the crowd hold small signs aloft: "Public Support or Corporate Puppet?"; "MORATORIUM NOW! VOTE YES!"

Color. Night. A man wearing a stupid balaclava and a stupid vest with all those stupid pockets and doohickies. The vest is emblazoned with yellow letters: "POLICE:ICE." His left hand clutches the top of the stupid vest and his right hand, at his side, is cupped around the barrel of his holstered weapon. His piggy eyes look at the viewer from inside his stupid balaclava. Text above the image: "... practices which had been long abandoned, in some cases for hundreds of years—imprisonment without trial, the use of prisoners as slvs, public cxccvtions, tartvre to extract canfcssions, the use of hastoges and the d3part8t10n of whole populations—not only became common again..." Text below the image: "...but were tolerated and even defended by people who considered themselves enlightened... —Orwell" At the very bottom, a line of smiling faces: Thune, Grassley, Murkowski, Cassidy, Moran, Tillis, McCormick, Paul, Sullivan

This sign is not about Congress, obviously. Most everyone let go of their confidence in their elected representatives, long ago. Nevertheless, a message for whichever Congresspersons still cling to the idea that they are leaders... (cont.) #abolishICE #nokings #impeachandremove
Color. Day. City green space. In the background, several people standing about in the shade of short trees. In the foreground, with his back to us, a man in a black t-shirt and blue cap, sitting on a concrete planter. His right arm is extended and rests on the top of a vertical stick to which is attached a white sign with black lettering: "Y'all are the Leaders you are waiting for." White letters on the back of his black t-shirt: "IT'S ABOUT US."

Memphis city council is gonna meet again today at 4pm. I hear that they're gonna give their attention to a motion concerning the ICE pestilence that afflicts Memphis. And I hear they might try again to to say or do something about data centers that isn't criminal or insane. #abolishICE #freethe901
B&W. Day. Inside the Memphis city hall auditorium. A portion of a dense crowd, all on its feet. In the near foreground, out of focus, a person holds a small white sign—the size that is allowed in the auditorium. The part of the sign that is visible reads: "DATA." Just right of center, a person is up above the crowd, apparently standing on a chair bottom. This person has black hair and wears a white, sleeveless t-shirt. They are facing to the right, in profile to the viewer. Their downstage arm is raised in a fist. Their upstage arm holds a megaphone to their mouth, which is wide open in a yell.

A slim majority of the Memphis City Council abrogated their moral duty to vote in a moratorium on data center development. One council creep yammered on about "tax revenue," apparently unconcerned with who dies. Memphians showed the city council whose city this is. #freethe901 #nodatacenters
B&W. Day. Inside Memphis city hall auditorium. An over-capacity crowd is on its feet. Some people holding small signs: "You can't DRINK data centers, loser"; "Moratorium Now! WATER IS LIFE!" Faces are angry and shouting. Several people standing on chair bottoms to be above the crowd. At center, a person with long, dreadlock-style black hair, t-shirt and light-hued jacket, standing on a chair bottom above the crowd. One leg is poised on the back of the chair. They hold a megaphone to their mouth with their right hand and they raise their left arm, straight out from the shoulder toward the ceiling. One finger of their left hand is pointing.B&W. Day. Inside Memphis city hall auditorium. A small section of crowd, viewed from near the floor. On the far left, the auditorium's public comment lectern and microphone. Just inside the lectern, a man with a shortly-cropped white beard and light-hued cap and light-hued t-shirt. He is facing toward the left. At center, foreground, a small person. Perhaps a young teenager. Their back is to the viewer. They wear a light-colored shirt with a color—the sort that is approved public-school uniform. Over the top half of this person's head is a nearly-transparent, skull-tight mask. At the right, foreground, a person with long brown hair, wearing a white t-shirt on which is printed a large "A+.' Their face is turned toward the center. At center, behind the small person is a person with black hair and wearing a dark shirt. This person's face is tipped back and shouting. They hold a megaphone to their mouth, pointed toward the ceiling.B&W. Day. Inside Memphis city hall auditorium. A section of the standing crowd. A person's back occupies much of the right half of the frame, near foreground and out-of-focus. Further back, to the right of this person's back, just at the right of the frame, a person with black hair and glasses and thinly-trimmed beard, wearing a white shirt and tie. On the left, people standing a pointing, including a person with black hair wearing a shirt on which is printed: "MEMPHIS WON'T BE ERASED."B&W. Day. Inside Memphis city hall auditorium. The out-of-focus forms of peoples' backs on in the near foreground on the left and right of the frame. In sharp focus, on the left, the back of a person with black hair wearing a black t-shirt on which is printed: "IT'S ABOUT US." To the right of this person, a different person's forearm, raised almost vertical. The hand at the top of this forearm has pointed its middle finger at the ceiling. Further back, at center, three Memphis police officers. In the background, the city council's dais. A few people on the dais are gathering papers and vacating the auditorium.

Color. Day. A crowd in a city park. At center, a person in a costume consisting of a human-size taco capped with the head of an ugly man with an orange face wearing a red cap. The person in the costume holds up a stick to which is attached an upside-down USA flag. Off to the right, a sign held up above the heads of the crowd: "No Kings; Stop War; No Ice; Vote"

Quick reminder—or note, for those who are unaware. The town of Mason, TN, allows Core Covic to operate a concentrate camp in its jurisdiction, forty-some miles outside of Memphis. #abolishICE #freethe901 #endtheoccupation #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A group of people standing on the unmowed grass of a public building in a tiny rural town. Tall, green trees in the background. A strip of blue sky, darkening to dusk. In the group, a man in a black cap and black t-shirt holds a large white sign on which is black lettering: "CORE CIVIC EVIL PROFIT"

Oh, look. It's ICE, helping MPD out with pretextual traffic stops. Credit to this driver, who cussed them both out, royally. #abolishICE #endtheoccupation #freethe901 #impeachandremove
Color. Day. Out of focus in the near foreground: part of a black car passing in profile, moving from right to left. Partial driver's window and part of the hood fill the frame's lower half. In the background, apparently at the curb, three men gathered at the back of a black car. On the left of the group, a man in a white and gray shirt points to something on the back of the car. In the center, back to the viewer, a man in a Memphis police department uniform. On the right, facing left, in profile, a man in one of those stupid vests. Behind the group, a wall of greenery.

It's long overdue. #freethe901 #endtheoccupation #abolishICE #impeachandremove
Color. Day. In the background, a temporary concert state erected at the east end of Beale Street. The stage proscenium is marked by Memphis imagery and the text: "901 DAY 2026." A large crowd is gathered in the street in front of the stage. Many people in the crowd hold up signs. Several of those signs read: "FREE THE 901." Also: "NO NATIONAL GUARD" and "OPPORTUNITY NOT OCCUPATION"

ICE agents put flashlight beams down my camera lens... which violates the Constitution. This guy stepped in to block the beams and I didn't see what he was saying to ICE, himself, until I got home. Shout it, Kid. #abolishICE #freethe901 #endtheoccupation #impeachandremove
B&W. Night. A broad city street, angling from downstage left to midway, in the distance, on the right. Standing in the street, some way off, on the right, a cluster of ICE agents in their stupid vests and wearing stupid cosplay military helmets equipped preposterously with moronic-looking cameras alongside several Memphis police officers. In the foreground on the left, a young man with black hair and dark t-shirt, facing the viewer, straight on. Both his arms are raised: upper arms parallel to the ground and elbows at ninety degrees. At the top of each forearm, his hands flip the bird to the ICE agents and MPD behind him.

The Commercial Appeal reports that a judge suspects Memphis Police did violate a standing consent decree when they attacked peaceful activists back in March. Judge, count how many times MPD has violated that consent decree. I've got some pics, right, officer Mitchell? #endtheoccupation #freethe901
Color. Day. A suburban lane. An MPD SUV in front of an unmarked vehicle for federal agents, in the left foreground. At center, just visible to the right of the unmarked vehicle, is a red Vespa scooter, legally parked, up on its kickstand. In the upper right, slightly behind the scooter, is an Memphis police officer in black uniform and black cap. He is looking at a large-ish digital device that he is holding in both hands. Apparently, he is running the scooter's license plate without any suspicion of a crime that has been committed, is being committed, or will be committed. Just illegally surveilling citizens. That's MPD officer Mitchell. To the right of Mitchell is a national guardsman in full Desert Storm Crossing-Guard camo. He is leaning slightly toward Mitchell, so as to see the information about the scooter that Mitchell has called up, in violation of the Constitution and in violation of the Kendrick Consent Decree.

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"

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"

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"

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Color. Day. A museum gallery. On the right, the driver's door and window and the front end of the car extend to center. The car is a 50's model sedan. White. 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.

This "midterm convention" is like a dude with 0.20% alcohol content screaming "GET OFFA ME!!" over and over again while thrashing himself bloody in an effort to fight off the responsible people in the bar who want to take his keys. #abolishICE #nokings #impeachandremove #gopisacult
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. A center, a person in tan coveralls with their back to the viewer. They hold a straight stick that is perhaps six feet long, one end of which rests in the grass. Affixed to the top end of the stick is a white sign with blue and red lettering: "FUCK THE GOP"

Color. Day. The Offal Office's inhabitant's recent stolen valor AI image that construes the maniac as a five-star general, striding forward with grim seriousness, as though he weren't a slovenly pig who's barely capable of remembering his own name. The face in the image has been replaced by my own.

This day of not laboring brought to you by organized labor. #unionstrong #poorpeoplescampaign
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.

Don't forget, everybody. The assertion that MPD does not work with ICE is a lie. #abolishICE #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. The front end, passenger side, of a white Memphis Police Department car. The front passenger door is open and an ICE goon in one of those stupid vests, right hand on the inside of the door, has stretched his eft leg into the car and is placing himself in the seat.

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 didn't treat treason like treason. And the murder-clown is not done treasoning. #abolishICE #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
Color. Day. A crowd of people on the corner of a suburban avenue. Many hold signs: "DEMOCRACY DIES WHEN WE ARE SILENT"; "Jan. 6 was a Trump Inspired Mob Attack; Treason!" "NO KINGS; NO TYRANTS; NO DICTATORS; WE LOVE AMERICA".

"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"

Fight especially the pretense of ignorance. Too many people out there shrugging—_as if_ they don't know—over the cruelty, the deliberate, sadistic barbarity, of the murder clowns in charge and those in thrall to them. #abolishICE #freethe901 #releasethefiles #impeachandremove
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"

Today is 901 Day. I've lived in Memphis for more than twenty years. I don't know whether that makes me a Memphian, but I <heart> Memphis and I want it to be free. #freethe901 #abolishICE #nationalguardgohome #nokings
Color. Day. Looking up from near the ground. Blue sky and pockets of dense clouds. From center, stretching to the right, the bue-and-white arch at the east end of Beale Street. 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". In the forground, looking over the viewer's perspective, a person in a white hat and blue shirt holding a megaphone to their mouth.

Hey, Mayor Young... How 'bout on 901 Day 2026 we free the 901? #freethe901 #V901 #abolishice #nokings
Two images. One above the other. Above: Color. Bright sunshine. In the background, an outdoor stage. The proscenium displays the words "901 DAY 2026". A crowd in front of the stage. In the foreground, among the crowd, several people holding up signs that read "FREE the 901". Below: Color. Night. Three men in stupid tactical vests and preposterous, paramilitary-style balaclavas. 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. A black bar between the two images, on which is white text: "Mayor Young: ICE and MPD are terrorizing Memphis."

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.
