Tucson, AZ drone photographer.
January was crazy busy. Here is a compilation of all of the protests I covered. Quick reminder and for the new folks, I don't get paid for this. I do it for the love of the game.

Local Tucson, Arizona, businesses to close on Jan 30 for ICE out day of protest. Several Tucson Unified School District schools will also close due to high volume of projected staff absences.

I traveled to 2 different events to document them last night. One downtown and one that was a march from Freedom Park to the Swan gate at Davis Monthan. Here are the photos from the latter. Downtown photos coming later.

I was hoping to have a chill Saturday. But then ICE murdered another person. Hundreds of Tucsonans showed up at two different protests. #tucson #protest #ice

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Some ground photos of the protest in front of Target near El Con Mall. I think I heard that this event was in support of the general strike in Minnesota #protest #tucson #tucsonaz

I was mostly focused on drone footage, but I did pop off a few ground photos. #tucson #protest #nationalwalkoutday

There is now a TFR that disallows drone flights anywhere near a very broadly defined "anything DHS related". I can only think of one reason why this was implemented.

It's gonna take me a hot minute to make a video, but here are two photos from the protest today in Downtown Tucson. #protest #ice #tucson #tucson #tucsonaz #NationalWalkoutDay

Someone got the party for national walkout day started early today. The sign hung on from the Jim Glock Bypass (across 4th ave downtown) says "WE RUN THIS COUNTRY, WE CAN SHUT IT DOWN" #protest #nationalwalkout #tucson #tucsonaz

One of the top 3 regurgitated "talking-points" I get on the protest photos are variations on "why aren't these people protesting [thing that I care about] instead of [thing that they care about]".

People marching down 4th Ave last Saturday evening. #protest #tucson #tucsonaz

Trump is already trying to back out of giving the $2,000 stimulus checks, which no one is getting anyway.

“When did I say that?”

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country.

'It’s the most American thing to do: not to be scared of people trying to scare you...

This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?"

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

Funny story from last night. I launched near enough that people heard & watched it go up. A group of people nearby yelled "there's a drone" & started to boo. I shouted over to them, "It's OK, it's a nice drone!" Any guesses as to what they heard me say? LOL. From now on I will say, "a GOOD drone"

Stumbled upon this March in downtown Tucson tonight. After I rehydrate, I have a lot of photos and videos to go through.
