It's garbage day in Memphis. When you find the trash set at the side of the road for pick-up. #abolishICE #freethe901 #V901 #nokings

Color. Day. The corner of an old suburban sidewalk, coming horizontally from the left and receding vertically to the background in the upper left. A narrow strip of green grass runs along the sidewalk, up the center of the frame. On the right, receding with the sidewalk, is an unassuming suburban lane. In the near foreground, just right of center: two large, black garbage bags, collapsed on each other, just off the sidewalk, at the base of a rusted light pole. In the distant upper-right, two MPD squad cars and then a TN state trooper SUV, parked one behind the other at the burb. In the far distance in the upper-left: a couple of national guard soldiers and MPD officers, on the sidewalk and beside the police cars.

Behold your death, Senator. All that you ever were, aspired to be, and became, subsumed, in your waning, wan days under a pitiful, bewildered cry: “I couldn’t do anything.” So goes to the grave the soul whose birth was wasted time and flesh. #senatorcornyn

While we're dumping the scorn they deserve on Little Prince Pumpkin and his slimy toadies like Blanche and Kegsbreath and Bessent, let's not forget that RFKjr is a lying, sack-of-$#¡& murder clown who glories in others' suffering and death. #rfkjr #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

Color. Day. A small crowd on a sidewalk with the red brick wall of a building in the background. One person, crossing from left to right in the foreground, holds, under their arm, a square of corrugated tin, painted blue and with a solid green circle in the middle. Further back, someone in the crowd has raised a white sign on which is red and blue text: "WEAKER; POORER; SICKER"

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · 2d ago

They say the weasel Blanche has canceled the "anti-gov't-weaponization fund," which was never other than a pro-corruption fund. Let's not forget that ICE is gov't weaponization. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #impeachandremove

Color. Day. A suburban street. A yellow schoolbus in the background. In the foreground, at the grassy curb, a cluster of seven people. Two are Shelby County sheriffs. Two are Border Patrol agents wearing masks—one of which is a complete and total head covering. One is an IRS agent, heavily armed and wearing one of those stupid vests. One is a man with long dark hair, who is mostly obscured behind the abominable Border Patrol goons. The last, with her back turned, is a short woman with long dark har, tied up behind her head. She wears a long, drooping gray sweater. Her hands are cuffed behind her back.

We've become so inured to the idea of citizenship and borders and passports and "us" and "them" that it seems just fine to just tell people they can't move. "National borders" create migration crises. #abolishICE #nokings #noborders #migrationisahumanright

Color. Day. A public plaza. Looking from the back of a crowd turned toward three or four men in the accoutrements of rabbis, in the upper right. A bit out of focus in the near foreground, just left of center, is a man in a cap and a gray shirt, holding a sign so that it shades his face from the setting sun. The sign is white with black lettering and has a hand-drawn, green and blue planet earth at its center: "Migration is an EARTH RIGHT!!"

Not unless the question is: "How do we divert attention from our illegal trove of Epstein files?" People are _dying_ to keep this sack of garbage out of prison, folks. #nowar #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

Color. Day. A suburban lawn. Out of focus in the background, upper-right: a ring of fifteen or twenty people, in folding chairs. Closer, on the left, a carefully design wood sign, fixed into the grass: "Memphis Friends Meeting; Quakers; Worship 11am Sunday; 3387; Visitors Are Welcome". In the foreground, center-bottom, a blue and white sign, stuck in the grass on a wire frame: "WAR is NOT the ANSWER! www.fcnl.org"

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · 5d ago

For a couple of hours, this goon squad crowded up against this guy's gate, deploying all sorts of balderdash to convince him to open it. Simply lying, in seven directions, while observers recorded them. ICE is filled with cretins and crooks. #abolishICE #freethe901 #V901 #nokings

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · 6d ago

They've poured bazillions into a secret police force; ignored military murder on the high seas; backed a nonsense "war"; persecuted the guy who fought COVID; unleashed lettuce plagues; overlooked monumental gov't fraud/graft; and worship a murderous PDF. #abolishICE #nokings #allrepublicansareevil

Color. Day. A city park. A crowd of people. One person at center has their hand on a sign, affixed to a long stick resting on one end on the grass. White posterboard with red and blue, stencil-style lettering: "FUCK THE GOP"

Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne. #birds

COlor. Day. Green grass of a public park receding from bottom foreground to nearly make a midpoint horizon where it meets a wall of dark green trees. Midway out on the grass, a boy in an orange coat jumps backward in startled delight. Several birds flapping their wings and just lifting of the grass in front of him. At the far right, a bit closer than the boy, stands a duck, unperturbed.

No argument from me. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #impeachandremove

Color. Evening. Outdoors. An elderly man, a little bit stooped over, wearing glasses and a dark jacket, holds a white sign with black lettering: "ICE EQUALS GESTAPO."

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · last wk.

Just appoint someone to take McConnell's place, vote "no" on that $%@&er Blanche, and defund ICE, ffs. While we're waiting for Little Prince Pumpkin to die, already, there are things to do to make the USA alive again. #abolishICE #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

Color. Day. A city park. A sidewalk running from downstage-left to the distance in the midway-up-left. A crowd of people on the grass and sidewalk. Many hold signs, including, near center, someone in a full-body inflatable Spongebob costume: "NO KINGS IN AMERICA"; "CONSTITUTION: NO KINGS"; "JUSTICE FOR ALL; NO KINGS"; "NO KINGS SINCE 1776"

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · last wk.

And it's a beautiful day to arrest Jonathan Ross and David Brouillette. #abolishICE #freethe901 #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

B&W. Day. A city street, receding from lower left to upper right. A crowd of young people are crossing the street in the foreground, from upper left to lower right. Just left of center, one person holds a cardboard sign, rotated 90 degree counter-clockwise, in front of their face: "It's a beautiful day to melt some ICE. #freeyasser; no justice no peace"

The moral arc won't bend itself. #abolishICE #freethe901 #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

Color. Day. In the shadows cast by bodies, a sign lying on the concrete of a public plaza, face down, a bare furring strip to which the sign is attached divides the back of the sign in half. Two fliers are stuck to the back of the sign, one on each side of the furring strip. On the left: An image of Rosie the Riveter, over which is white text: "The moral arc won't bend itself." On the right: "RESIST FASCISM."

Amen. Hashtag: ICE OUT OF EV-ER-Y-WHERE. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #impeachandremove

B&W. Day. A park bench. On the left end of the bench sit a boy of ten or eleven, wearing a baseball cap and looking anxiously at the viewer, and an adult woman, leaning back against the backrest, her eyes apparently closed. A sign stands on her lap, consisting of bold black stencil lettering on a white background: "ICE OUT OF MARYLAND". On the right side of the frame sits and elderly man wearing an oddly shaped fedora. A tallit is draped around his shoulders and a tefillin strap winds around his arm. A dark lamppost in the foreground divides the man in half, hiding his face.

"The love of one's own country is a splendid thing, but why should love stop at the border?" —Pablo Casals I'm not especially convinced that love of country is so splendid. But the point is: Abolish ICE. #abolishICE

B&W. Day. At center, the exposed, vertical end of a concrete wall that curves away to the right. On the left, the opening of a hallway that appears to pass behind the curving concrete wall. Several large, framed placards on the hallway's visible wall: "'The love of one's own country is a splendid thing/But, why should love stop at the border?' PABLO CASALS"; "'We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.' DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR."; "STRONG PEOPLE STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES, BUT STRONGER PEOPLE STAND UP FOR OTHERS' UNKNOWN"; "The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe' KAHLIL GIBRAN"; "'Love is our true essence...' AMMA"

Nobody with the sense that god gave a goose wants ICE around. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #impeachandremove

COlor. Day. A public plaza. A crowd of people. In the out-of-focus background, some rabbis intoning to the crowd. In the foreground, turned toward the rabbis in the distance, a few people holding signs. "ICE OUT OF MARYLAND"; "ICE OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS". The tall, skinny person in the foreground-left wears a shiny, emerald green yarmulke.

Okay, the dough-faced soldiers sent to Memphis are just kids who are following orders. It's also true that they all serve a lie and each of them is an anti-American tool. #freethe901 #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

Color. Day. Line of people at the front of a crowd of marchers on a city street. Many hold signs: "FREE MEMPHIS MANE"; "SAY NO TO MILITARY OCCUPATION"; "FREE THE 901"; "OPPORTUNITY NOT OCCUPATION"; "NO NATIONAL GUARD IN OUR BACKYARD"

In Melbourne, Australia. #graffiti #barbershop

Color. Day. On the left, the large, plate glass window of a ground-floor barber shop, surrounded by brick. Through the window, a man under a pale blue smock is being shaved by a woman in an off-white smock. On the right, an alley recedes some forty or fifty meters. The wall at the end of this narrow alley is decorated side-to-side and top-to-bottom with tightly-packed black-and-white art in the nature of panels from comic books and newspaper comic strips. One person stands in the alley and another crouches, both looking at the graffiti.

The Unsafe Task Force in Memphis besieged a home, threw some exploding ordnance through a window, and brought in an armored car with an honest-to-goodness _turret_. For two hours, the neighbors shouted that nobody was home. It turned out that nobody was home. #abolishICE #V901 #freethe901 #nokings

Color. Day. A small, unassuming suburban street. This little lane is choked with large SUVs and trucks, some black, some white, that leave barely enough room between them—in the street—for a body to pass through. In the distance, the top of a tall armored personnel carrier on top of which is an honest-to-goodness turret, from which rises the top half of a man in battle gear, aiming a giant machine gun. In the middle distance, standing in the street inside the press of suvs and trucks, are two men in battle gear.

War for oil would be bad enough. Bombing Iran is nothing more than carnage and death for the PDFs pleasure. #nowar #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

B&W. Day. A city park. Several people in winter wear. In the foreground, a person behind a lectern holding a mic. In the background, people holding signs: "VETS Against the WAR Machine"; "VETS SAY NO"

Did you see the droopy, pants-$&¡∏ing cretin stumbling around the stage, last night? The USA needs to do what FIFA/Spain did... just edit him out. #nokings #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

Color. Day. A sidewalk approaching a major suburban intersection. A small crowd of people on the sidewalk holding signs. The people are mostly elderly. One person on the right raises a tambourine in their right hand. People in the back hold up Ukrainian and USA flags. Some of the signs: "SUPPORT OUR CONSTITUTION; REJECT DICTATORS"; "STOP CRUELTY"; "ANTI-FASCISM; PRO-AMERICAN"; "NO KINGS SINCE 1776"; "IT'S NO LONGER A DIFFERENCE IN POLITICAL OPINION; IT'S A DIFFERENCE IN MORALITY"

Get the U.S. military out of Iran. And get it out of Memphis, too. #freethe901 #nowar #abolishICE #impeachandremove

Color. Day. A public plaza. Tall buildings in the far background. A small crowd, holding signs: "FOOD NOT TROOPS"; "RESIST"; "I MARCHED IN 1968 - STILL MARCHING IN 2025". One person wrapped in a sousaphone. In the foreground, on the right, a person with dark hair and wearing a black t-shirt holds a red-and-white megaphone in their left hand, and holds the megaphone's detachable transmitter to their mouth with their right hand.

He can't win an election, and he's gonna inflict horrors to stay in power. #nokings #handsoffourvotes #releasethefiles #impeachandremove

Color. Day. Street running in front of the National Civil Rights Museum. The NCRM stands in the background. A crowd of people in the street, holding signs, including: "HANDS OFF OUR VOTES".

Given Tyrin Johnson's death, Memphis will have to wrestle with the possibility that national guardsmen in the city are the willing tools of a psychopath and his ICE horde because they've also always dreamed of murdering people. #abolishICE #freethe901 #V901 #nokings

Color. Day. Looking up at the three-story wall of a bar on Beale Street. Neon signs at bottom left and right: "Alfred's" and "Patio Bar." A light pole running up the left foreground with three signs: "Speed Limit 20", "NO TRUCKS OR BUSES", and "ONE WAY." Rising two floors on the wall above, a black banner on which is white and yellow text: "TENNESSEE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD; YOU JOINED TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY; SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MEMPHIS? NotWhatYouSignedUpFor.org"

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · 3w ago

This DEA agent, who'd just helped BP haul someone away, wanted us to accept his claim that "there are some bad people who need to be in jail." Okay, sure. Arrest David Brouillette for murdering Joan Sebastian Guerrero. 'Cuz some bad people need to be in jail. #abolishICE #V901 #freethe901 #nokings

Color. Night. The back of a woman, on the far left. The driver's side of a gray across the center and right. The driver's window is down. Most of the driver's face—dark beard and mustache—is turned toward the woman. The driver's eyes are wide and pleading.

Dave Mason @fatsodoctor.bsky.social · 3w ago

In Memphis: each U.S. marshal, each FBI, HSI, DSS, IRS, CBP, DEA, ATF, DHS, HUD agent, each TN state trooper, each county sheriff, and each MPD officer. Also all state GOP law[m/bre]akers and the "governor"'s people. Each is a soulless tool and an accessory to murder. #abolishICE #freethe901

Color. Day. Looking down the median of a city avenue that is covered by white ice. Bare trees and gray sky in the background. Large, red lettering on the ice covering the roadway: "ICE KILLS".

Luna Park in Melbourne. What they say is the oldest operating wooden roller coaster on the planet. #lunapark #rollercoaster

B&W. Day. Two hills of an old wood rollercoaster, approaching from a distance in the lower left to the upper right in the foreground. At the top of the distance arch in the lower left, a coast car, with riders, just starting its descent.

It's pretty simple, really. None of this anti-constitutional bull-$&¥¶. #abolishICE #freethe901 #nokings #impeachandremove
