I have zero patience for fucked up questions during Q&A at my events. I will shut you up and I will tell you to sit down. Here’s video via @Alexoby4
Background
As I keep saying: the real profanity is rape and sexual assault, not my saying “fuck.” I am an intentionally profane woman and my political use of profanity often illuminates the hypocrisy of misogynists: that they’re more outraged at “fuck” than at assault

“posturing feminist firebrand.”

I especially relish garbage publication PJ media’s claim that my beating the fuck out of a man who sexually assaulted me in a #Montreal club was “apocryphal.” His face and my knuckles would disagree. #IBeatMyAssulter

h/t @rerutled
Remember that just 10 days ago, same garbage PJ Media wrote another piece about me in which they actually - tellingly - called feminism a “terrorist movement.”
“misandrist waffle”

I should put together an anthology called “Men Terrified of Mona.” This is from a couple of days ago from “Conservative Woman.”

“Purity exams” aka “virginity tests” are still@legal and possible in the year 2019 in the USA. Fuck the patriarchy huffpost.com/entry/new-york…
“Our hymens are not ours. They belong to our families.” In my first book Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution (2015), I connect obsession with hymens & virginity in the Middle East w/the USA because patriarchy is universal.
How the actual fuck are “purity exams” still on the books ANYWHERE??! It’s TwentyFuckingNineteen!!

Fuck the patriarchy and its obsession with our cunts, vaginas, pussies and wombs.

My sister-in-law - OB/GYN physician - just told me and my parents - retired medical doctors - about this and parents asked “Don’t they understand science?”
This is a procedure that does not exist in medical science. This is dangerous and willful ignorance theguardian.com/us-news/2019/n…
This is misogyny. This is barbarism. If you’ve ever wondered how far these misogynist shits will go to control women’s bodies: they will go even further than you’ve imagined. FUCK THE PATRIARCHY.
Remember this when you read about women in El Salvador imprisoned after miscarriage and when you read the constant news articles about misogynist horrors subjected onto women in Afghanistan. The white men who rule the USA are happily competing in the Patriarchy Olympics.

D's in Congress have eagerly anticipated Obama appointee, Georgetown U alum's second IG report complaining that President Trump’s appointees believe there exists a #DeepState among the unelected career staffers that is determined to thwart the president’s agenda. #CoupCabal
2. State Department IG holdover's "urgent" briefing on the Hill is currently said to be devised to set new alarm narrative of "retaliation" against #DeepState Department D's. Cong Staffers are starting to exit the "classified briefing" w #Linick IG. #Anon
3. @AdamSchiff @RepCummings are trying to bully & intimidate @StateDept workers contacting them directly & telling them to not have lawyers (right out of McCabe handbook). @SecPompeo also confirms phone call. The D's are unhinged. #DeepState #PresidentialHarassment. #Linick #Q

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

During transit strike, Amsterdam opens up car-only tunnel (1968) for cyclists.
In the process providing glaring evidence of how great this would work for the entire city if made permanent...

(video via @wolthuizen)
No cars. No transit. Just bikes.
No chaos, the city keeps functioning and society thrives!

Traffic engineers, urban planners, politicians around the world: take notes!

If you still (know people that) are shocked when car traffic just seems to evaporate when road capacity is limited, this is a valuable thread:

So it appears @RepMarkMeadows and company have gathered enough evidence to suggest that the FBI, under the Obama completely ignored a major lead in the HRC email scandal, according to leaked transcripts of closed-door testimonies of several current and former bureau officials.
@RepMarkMeadows The ICIG Charles McCullough informed the FBI in 2015 that a forensic review of HRC’s emails showed anomalies in the metadata of the messages. The evidence in the metadata showed that a copy of every email HRC sent during her tenure as the SoS was forwarded to a foreign 3d party.
@RepMarkMeadows McCollough appeared before congress several times, here's @jasoninthehouse questioning him

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory
