Marjorie Taylor Greene is dangerous and vile.

Republican Who Endorsed School Shooting Conspiracies to Join House Education Panel edweek.org/policy-politic…
In Sept 2020, Greene posted on her candidate FB page an image of herself holding a gun alongside images of Dem Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, & Rashida Tlaib and encouraged going on the "offense against these socialists." This is how Elle described her in October
If Donald Trump could give birth, it would have been to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, both of whom are clearly created in his image. They are 1st QAnon supporters elected to Congress & are insurrection supporters feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
Marjorie Taylor Greene is dangerous and vile.

Advocacy groups push for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation over report that she spread falsehoods about school shootings washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01…
White supremacist violence is not taken seriously in the US. Its female adherents, consistent w/usual presumption of white women’s innocence, even less so.

That is why I wrote this about 1st pro QAnon lawmakers elected to Congress. They supported Jan 6 feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
And this about the white women who stormed the Capitol. Again and again, the audacity of white womanhood obscures and obfuscates the violence that white women are allowed to get away with.

If they were not white or certainly if they were Muslim, these women would be called fanatics, thus is the privilege of whiteness. White womanhood is privilege sweetened with innocence & fragility that white women--liberal/conservative, Trump-voting/not--are adept at weaponizing
They might not have been among the fanatics who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6, but Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert’s views v much make them fanatics within that same building. I am writing about these women who are feminizing fascism. Sign up here

Pay attention to these GOP women who are feminizing fascism. Trump has left, but Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert et al have just arrived in Congress. And now Sarah Huckabee & probably soon Ivanka via Chief of Staff of white supremacist fascist fuckery himself, Bannon

"When we speak of hell for women, we can also speak of hell for the government. We are going to make this hell for you.”

Protests as #Poland adopts near-total ban on abortion

u.afp.com/UihN h/t @rerutled

Some protestors covered their faces with green handkerchiefs, which are the symbol of the abortion rights movement in #Argentina, which legalised abortion last month in a landmark move #StrajkKobiet #NiUnaMenos thestar.com/news/world/eur…
Protests against the ban in Oct when it was first announced were the largest protests in #Poland since the fall of Communism in 1989. And their core message was “Fuck off” to priests and the far-right govt pic. #StrajkKobiet #AborcjaBezGranic

Like Ashli Babbitt, who was shot dead as she tried to smash her way into the Speaker's Lobby, Jessica Watkins was a veteran of the US war on Afghanistan. She is accused of 6 federal crimes, including conspiracy buzzfeednews.com/article/jessic… Jessica Watkins (left) and ...
"Decked out in full tactical gear, Jessica Watkins appeared ready for battle...

'We’re in the fucking Capitol, bro,' she declared, looking straight into a cellphone camera and flashing a victory sign."
buzzfeednews.com/article/jessic…
At Trump's incitement she stormed the Capitol in full combat gear. She belongs to a white supremacist militia that supports that far-right conspiracy QAnon.

And yet "her boyfriend rejected the suggestion that she’s anti-government or violent."

This essay about James Bennett is a necessary reminder of the misogyny & boys club undergirding US media and how white men protect each other. Bennett - who left the NYT after publishing a fascist senator’s oped - has predictably landed on his feet. jenzerb.medium.com/i-left-my-care…
I was a contributing opinion writer at the NYT 2014-2018. Last time I I spoke to Bennett he told me to stop saying “fuck” on Twitter. So I started #WhyISayFuck. I explain here with background feministgiant.com/p/essay-why-i-…
I understand - because they write to me in private - that many in the US media can’t name shitty misogynist bosses and editors. I work for myself and I started this newsletter because I don’t give a fuck and I am beholden to no one feministgiant.com

Soon after the January 6 insurrection, I wrote 3 essays using a feminist lens to analyze the white supremacist violence that fueled it. This one on white women who stormed the Capitol
And this one on QAnon-supporting congresswomen—who are part of the historic female red wave that flipped seats in the House—who supported the insurrection
And this one on the white supremacist patriarchal violence that drove the insurrection and which will not disappear just because Trump is out of office

Earlier this month, I wrote about how dangerous Marjorie Taylor Greene is.
Every article that comes out about her has to make you wonder when this dangerous and vile congresswoman is going to be expelled and held accountable. h/t @rerutled Tweet by Andrew Kaczynski: NEW: Marjorie Taylor Greene indic
In September 2020, Greene posted on her candidate Facebook page an image of herself holding a gun alongside images of Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib and encouraged going on the "offense against these socialists." feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a vile and dangerous woman. Her racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism is easy to find online and yet look how Elle magazine described her as late as Oct 2020. The fuckery that white women like her get away with!
