Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 09/01/2026I was thinking about this photo today, for no particular reason. A person in a Guy Fawkes mask holds a banner at the “Hands Off” mass protest at the Washington Monument on April 5, 2025. #photography #photojournalism #dc #protest #v 040
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 08/01/2026Despite this, RPD Lt. David Cuffley ordered the assembly to be dispersed under threat of arrest, reportedly at the order of an unnamed city official. The First Amendment doesn’t apply in RVA, apparently. 010
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 08/01/2026This evening at around 7:00, demonstrators began assembling in Richmond’s Monroe Park in protest of the ICE killing of a motorist in Minneapolis earlier today. The group was completely peaceful. Signs indicated that the area was open for use until 8 PM. #RVA #Minneapolis #Protest #FirstAmendment 140

The man, along with members of the Proud Boys and other neo-fascist groups held a march in remembrance of slain J6 attacker Ashli Babbitt. #j6 010

America was built by the ingenuity and labor of white men and blessed by the Christian god. American exceptionalism. More religious undertones. Et cetera, et cetera. 000
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 02/01/2026Amidst almost a mile of pedestrian barricades, a heavy police and National Guard presence, and an elaborate production setup, only handfuls of spectators came and went as an hourly narrated presentation of a revisionist history of the United States played against a backdrop of hastily-animated 100
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 02/01/2026I went to Trump’s “Freedom 250” NYE celebration so you didn’t have to. Billed by the administration as “the opening signature moment … celebrating the nation’s founding and its enduring promise”, almost no one was interested enough to show up. #freedom250 #nye2025 #photography #photojournalism 160

Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 25/11/2025Within the first few pages it becomes apparent that Bovino approached this deposition with the same smug confidence that he’s had during Midway Blitz: believing he’s in control, he can do whatever he wants, and everyone else is a piece of shit. It also becomes apparent that he is out of his depth. 0101

Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 06/11/2025You’re not wrong, friend. There’s a long backstory as to why I left policework, and it involves testifying against other cops who tried to cover up an off-duty assault by another cop. 1150
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 06/11/2025What seems like a thousand years ago, I myself was a cop. If I had a district judge calling me a liar from the bench, I would have literally collapsed into myself in shame so quickly, it would have formed a black hole right there in the courtroom. 3821

I’ll have something more coherent written later. - The demonstration was entirely peaceful prior to the arrival of Greg ... 0103
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 04/11/2025I’m a photojournalist, and was tackled by CBP agents at Broadview while covering protests last month, despite being very clearly identified as a member of the press. I came face to face with Bovino, and reading this fills me with an incandescent rage; I never saw a single person be violent there. 1366
Reposted by Tom HudsonSteve Bowen @stevebowen.bsky.social · 28/10/2025What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event. 33876373444
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025In a sane world, you’re absolutely correct. Given the administration’s attitude towards the courts… Well, I’m less than optimistic. 110
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025The gate closes, the agents retreat inside, and activists continue their vigil… And no one on either side knows how long this campaign of cleaving immigrant families apart will continue. (6/6) 010
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025The gate is finally opened, and after a final embrace, the man disappears. With the opacity of the immigration #detention and #deportation process, it’s unclear when he’ll be able to speak with his family again, where he will be taken, or even what country he may be deported to. (5/6) 100
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025It takes several minutes for agents to open the gate, with its heavy steel crossbars and four large padlocks giving the appearance of a medieval castle gate made to ward off invading armies, not a suburban facility that processes nonviolent #immigrants in 2025. (4/6) 100
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025Suddenly, more than a dozen heavily-armed agents appear at the facility’s fence line and on the roof, significantly outnumbering activists keeping watch. The man and his family approach the fence, explaining that he wants to surrender. (3/6) 100
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025A small group of people appear on the street, stopping to embrace. There are tears, and sobbing; one of the men is apparently subject to a removal order, and wants to surrender himself to protect his family from a potential raid by ICE. (2/6) 100
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025Some of my #photography from Chicago this month: It’s around 9:00 PM at the #ICE facility in the village of #Broadview. It’s largely quiet. A handful of protesters are keeping watch outside the bulding’s hasty fortifications, periodically heckling agents walking in and out of the building. (1/6) 120
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025You’re not wrong. In theory, the Marshals are supposed to answer to the judicial branch, and enforce its orders independent of the executive… How that works out remains to be seen, unfortunately. We won’t know until someone is held in contempt and ordered jailed. 010
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025There are more judges than you think who still hold the idea of a fair and independent judiciary above all else, and are trying to do the right things. Given the behavior of the regime, I’m not sure where the off-ramp is, but I’m trying to believe it’s still there somewhere. The alternative… Sigh. 110
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced war, or violence on a large scale. I have, and I don’t want to “wrap up the pregame” before it’s played out. I imagine that others who have feel the same. 110
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025I suppose because it seemed pretty unambiguous as written? Nobody, including the judiciary, was prepared for what’s happening right now, and they’re having to catch up. 210
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025Of course they are. And it’s fucking infuriating. The judiciary honestly looks like the last line of defense before violent conflict right now, so I’m willing to give the process time to play out… And pray that justice, however slow it may be, is found. 110
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025As infuriating as it is, she has to remove all ambiguity from what’s being ordered, in order to be able to impose sanctions that will survive appeal. 130
Tom Hudson @hudsonimages.com · 28/10/2025She’s carefully articulating every detail because she knows that whatever the outcome, the entire record will be reviewed by the appeals court, and possibly SCOTUS. If you talk to him like he’s 5, and have everything explicitly laid out in the record, there’s less room for them to maneuver later. 161
