"Following the murder of Renee Good, the regime has ordered another 1,000 gestapo forces to join the 2,000 forces already in Minneapolis. The goal is to terrorize Blue states and Blue cities and invoke martial law. We’ve seen this authoritarian playbook throughout history in other countries. It’s shameful this is what is happening in the United States."

I've watched as many videos of Renee Nicole Good's murder as possible.

It's weird how brandishing a gun has become a replacement for the Jim Crow whip or lashing in the minds of White Supremacists.

The body language & word choice is telling.

Fascists respond with rage & violence when their expectations of how the world works are violated.

Renee was not behaving the way Jonathan Ross expected her to behave.

No bending the knee.
No signs of submission.

Bold & brave eye contact.
Speaking cheekily without his permission. Unfearful.
Promises of accountability & backlash.
Warnings of continuing resistance.
Forgiveness & understanding.
Empathy.

A gun is supposed to make people hop to obey, if you're a white man.

A man with a gun is supposed to produce people who cower in fear.

Silence & lowered eyes was what he was expecting. One-sided deference. Tugging of forelocks & kowtowing.

Like the light hearted lippiness of ...

... of Emmett Till, bigots murdered to rewrite a moment of temporary cognitive dissonance.

The hierarchy of patriarchy & racism is that fragile for ICE and its billionaire funders.

Renee Nicole Good responded in the best tradition of American womanhood.

That "I'm not taking your bullshit" attitude in American women is galling to the fossil fuel billionaires funding Trump's fascist movement. A citizen defending democracy & justice.

Jonathan Ross & his ilk have been too accustomed to a world like Putin's peasantry, subjects living in a constant state of fear.

Fear of change. Fear of progress. Fear of regular Americans.

Fear of lippy women defending the rights of all
