#Saudi feminist Loujain Al-Hathloul has been in solitary confinement for more than 7 months. The #Saudi regime detained her in 2018 for her fight to end the ban on women driving & male guardianship. Support her nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize.

Loujain Al-Hathloul, 29, has been waterboarded, subjected to electric shocks and threatened with rape. We remember you, Loujain. #FreeLoujain
Here is a thread with background that I have been posting since Nov 2018 when reports first surfaced of the torture that Loujain and other detained women’s rights activists have been subjected to #FreeLoujain
The #Saudi regime considers feminism a form of “extremism.” Saudi Arabia calls feminism 'extremism' in video, deletes it amid anger insider.com/saudi-arabia-s…

I have lost count of how many articles The Australian have written about me.
“Bossy ‘feminists’ are the new patriarchy” 😂😂😂 Does The Australian do satire too?
And OMG I got them to talk about radical rudeness and Dr. Stella Nyanzi and footsoldiers of the patriarchy! I’m a fucking boss, as the youth say!

How many men must we kill until men stop raping us? I will continue asking that question. It ignited a firestorm after I asked it on #qanda on Australian TV & I will keep on asking it. Half of rape victims drop out of cases even after suspect is identified theguardian.com/society/2019/n…
On that #qanda episode and in my book I quote feminist psychiatrist Judith Herman: “The legal system was designed to protect men from the superior power of the state but not to protect women and children from the superior power of men.”
And I will keep on asking that question until there is more outrage at the second half of my question as there is at the first half.

I’m about to board to start my journey home. #Australia it has been an intense and wonderful week of seeing good friends, making new ones, speaking at @UNSWCentreIdeas #unswideas, @wheelercentre #broadside2019, and appearing on #qanda. I stand by everything I said.
It is fucking ridiculous that the ABC has pulled the show from repeat views & that the government is involved via a ministerial statement & parliament inquiry. Such censorship & govt interference are dangerous & sinister esp in light of raids against the media in #Australia.
It is instructive that outrage over daily and actual violence against women and gender diverse people does not warrant such swift investigations or govt action. Instead, asking “How many rapists must we kill until men stop raping us?” terrifies white men into action.

Thread for my white #feminist friends (of all genders)

Content: Sexual violence, racism

There is a racial divide on social media regarding #SurvivingRKelly
Most black folks I know have posted about the docuseries in the last few days (thankfully black people in my networks are expressing support of the victims of sexual abuse & coercion though their posts suggest to me that is not the case with their entire friends network)
In contrast, nearly all white folks I know are not even acknowledging the docuseries, the #RKelly conversation, nothing. This divide/contrast reminds me that white people are not required to know what’s happening to and among black folks.

BREAKING: #Saudi prosecutor confirms death of Jamal #Khashoggi.

Pre-planned scapegoat Deputy Chief of Intelligence General Assiri has been dismissed as well as MBS Adviser Saud Al Qahtani. Saudi investigators have detained 18 suspects in Khashoggi's murder.
@Joyce_Karam #Maddow
The Saudi Prosecutor claims a heated discussion between Jamal #Khashoggi & Saudi agents in Consul in Istanbul turned into quarrel and fist fighting which led to his death. Doesn't explain why the Saudi kill team brought a bone saw, though, does it?
#Maddow
A "fist fight" in which Jamal Khashoggi was accidentally decapitated & dismembered with a bone saw the Saudi agents just happened to bring along for a simple interrogation and/or rendition? Trump & Jared Kushner will totally go along with this BS.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

Thread on #Saudi meddling in #Yemen's internal affairs. Listed and in chronological order. Keep this in mind, next time some nutjob on the news rants about supposed "Iranian meddling" in regards to Yemen.
- Saudi-Yemeni War of 1934, dispute over regional ownership ends with #Saudi Arabia annexing the Yemeni provinces of Najran, Jizan and Asir. Saudi Arabia held Hodeidah city occupied and threatened to cut off food supplies as blackmail.
- Saudi support for the Kingdom of Yemen during the 1962 Republican revolution. Imam Ahmad bin Yahya was dethroned because of corruption and for transforming the legitimate imamate into a monarchy. What followed was 5 years of brutal civil war.

How gender identity politics is endangering #WomensRights masquerading under the guise of “progressivism”- or in other words, as I said to this @notokyriarchy fatherfucker, an #MRA’s dream come true
- (thread)
I shouldn’t have to explain the realities of sex-based oppression in 2018! #Female is a biological sex. #Gender is the roles and norms that are imposed on those with female bodies to subjugate them to males for free sexual, domestic, and reproductive labor.
No matter how many genders a given culture had or recognized, somehow, the half of the group with a cock and balls (males) knew which other half of the group to forcibly impregnate (“#NonMen”, according to some). 🤔🤔🤔
