Scores of protesters marched on ICE headquarters in Washington, DC on January 11, 2026 to denounce the murder of Renee Good and others at the hands of federal immigration agents.

I was thinking about this photo today, for no particular reason.

A person in a Guy Fawkes mask holds a banner at the β€œHands Off” mass protest at the Washington Monument on April 5, 2025.

Despite 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.

This 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.

A supporter of the January 6th insurrectionists flashes a white supremacist sign at anti-fascist protesters near the US Capitol on January 6th, 2025. 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.

A man is questioned by US Park Police during a rally demanding that the US facilitate dismantling the Islamic Republic of Iran and installing exiled opposition leader Reza Pahlavi as the leader of the country on January 3, 2026.

As anti-war protesters gathered nearby, local kids play soccer outside the north entrance of the White House on January 3, 2026.

Life goes on in the District, even amidst all the chaos.

loops consistent with the manifest destiny, white supremacy imagery they find so appealing.

Christopher Columbus was the good guy. 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.

Amidst 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

I went to Trump’s β€œFreedom 250” NYE celebration so you didn’t have to.

Billed by the administration as β€œthe opening signature moment … celebrating the nation’s founding and its enduring promise”, almost no one was interested enough to show up.

Immigrants kept from Faneuil Hall citizenship ceremony as feds crackdown nationwide Trump administration is pausing naturalizations for immigrants from 19 countries.

BOSTON: As multiple legal immigrants lined up for their swearing-in ceremony, each person was asked what their country of origin was; those who answered with certain countries were pulled out of line and their citizenship ceremony canceled.

Within 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.

Touching grass isn’t enough. I need to fistfight a terrible person in a position of power.

You’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.

What 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.

Tom Hudson (@hudson.images) on Threads First brain dump on what happened at Broadview (suburb outside Chicago) today. I’ll have something more coherent written later. - The demonstration was entirely peaceful prior to the arrival of Greg ...

Some thoughts and my images from 10/3 at Broadview: www.threads.com/@hudson.imag...

I’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.

What 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.

In a sane world, you’re absolutely correct.

Given the administration’s attitude towards the courts… Well, I’m less than optimistic.

The 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)

The 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)

It 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)

Suddenly, 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)

A 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)
