Sisi was head of military intelligence when the military sexually assaulted #Egyptian women activists by subjecting them to “virginity tests.” Women who support Sisi are like women who vote for Trump: footsoldiers of the patriarchy
I wrote about Trump, Sisi, and patriarchy here, published day of Trump Inauguration google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
There are women who support patriarchy bec they accept its crumbs of power. In #Egypt the military - fascists w/guns - & Muslim Brotherhood - fascists w/religion - are not friends of women or feminism. Both have female supporters. I am an enemy to patriarchy & its footsoldiers.

Glad to see Loujain recognized - and by extension the incredible #Saudi women’s rights activists imprisoned along with her by the cowardly and misogynist Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman since May 2018. Loujain and the women’s rights activists are heroes time.com/collection/100…
A #Saudi court on Wednesday postponed a fourth hearing in the trial of the women rights activists. RELEASE THEM ALL. This is an utter disgrace that must forever shame the Saudi regime google.com/amp/s/mobile.r…
Release them all: this is an utter disgrace.

These #Saudi women’s rights activists are heroes. They should be celebrated not subjected to electric shocks, flogging, sexual assault, and waterboarding.

#FF @maitelsadany on #Egypt constitutional amendments. And invite her to speak at all hearings on Egypt. I am sick and fucking tired of seeing just Egyptian men speak about Sisi and his fascism. There are women in Egypt. There are Egyptian women who are experts on our country.
This is why I wrote my 2012 essay Why Do They Hate Us? & my 1st book Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution: as with almost every revolution, regardless of risks we women took, it would crystallize into one group of men fighting aother group of men.
And ICYMI, patriarchy being its universal self: one group of men fighting another group of men is an apt way of describing US election coverage: mentions of male candidates have been consistently higher than women & women candidates receive disproportionately negative coverage.

Release these #Saudi women’s rights activists who have long fought to end the male guardianship system. They have been detained since May and tortured at the orders of Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman. They should be free. Remember them apnews.com/eed99fd06b9442…

BREAKING: #Trump said that a military invasion of #Venezuela is an “option”. Let’s remember this was supposedly the president that was against war.

Now, I'm not saying Trump is currently heading to the Middle East to visit troops. BUT...

There's been some interesting aircraft movements the last couple of days. Some I've already tweeted... And a VC-25A has been reported over the UK earlier today.

Watch this space! 😌
Reported over the UK earlier today. Callsign & unknown hex confirmed on my own receiver logs. 👇

RCH358 left Joint Base Andrews around 0500 UTC & pinged up on my own receiver here in the UK around 1100 UTC. 🤔

1. In 1987 it is believed that #Trump was recruited by #SovietUnion, specifically recruited by Kryuchkov head of First Chief Directorate, a division within the #KGB who's primary responsibility was to gather foreign intelligence

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
