Jon on ICE's Killing of Renee Good and Trump's Model of Compliance for Protesters | The Daily Show

alt text
A YouTube video of comedian and media commentariat Jon Stewart on the killing of Renée Goode and Trump's model of compliance for protesters
Timestamped at 15:19 for the part I wished to share.

I am feeling 1000 things right now. Mostly grief and frustration and impotency. I'm sorry for sharing videos that bring on more stress than happiness. I'm writing and protesting and waking up every day. I'm trying my best and it's really hard.

Being in St. Paul, watching local chat and talking with friends from across town, the main source of hope for me is the sheer numbers of people turning out and the fact that there's real news coverage of these events.

ICE was shouted out of my neighborhood Target store when they stopped there to use the bathrooms. Their goons are doing terrible damage to the people in our city, but every small protest, every act of resistance is helping. There are many videos showing a brave person standing up, and a couple of agents whose heart isn't in it.

Our city is full of good people and it gives me strength:

Every act of care for our communities makes a difference too. Even those not directly impacted. The real point of these assaults on our communities is not to deport undocumented folks, it’s to make _everyone_ afraid and isolated, thus easier to manipulate. Authoritarianism can’t take hold when people support everyone in their communities.

Watching this made me think of this again: https://mltshp.com/p/1QKBW The strategy worked so well for his personal crimes, now he's trying it with foreign policy, er, international crimes.

It is really hard. Don't feel bad for sharing the things you think should be shared. Waking up every day is resistance. 💗
