If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would be in Guantanamo Bay and in shackles.
There are no U.S. citizens/women held at that blight on the global conscience, but Greene is reminder that while U.S. obsessively focused “War on Terror” on brown Muslim men outside&inside its borders, this white,blonde,Christian woman inside its Capitol is face of terror at home
In a country where Muslims, including children are profiled & arrested for imaginary violence, no Muslim woman or man could, as Greene has, support executing prominent politicians and incite violence against others and still evade custody. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…
But because she is white, evangelical, and a woman--a rich one at that--Greene is not in an orange jumpsuit locked up in a U.S. prison camp in Cuba. Instead, she is a member of the House of Representatives in the most powerful country in the world.
Soon after the Jan. 6 insurrection, I also wrote this about how dangerous Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are

Fed up as I am with the consistent refusal to take seriously the danger of white women like Marjorie Taylor Greene, I suggest you forget the Bechdel Test & follow my If so-and-so was a Muslim Test: If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim she'd be in Gitmo feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…
If the white women who stormed the Capitol were Muslim, they would have been called “fanatics” and “extremists,” and vilified for the violence they committed, not constantly remembered by loved ones as the best version of themselves. feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…
If Amy Coney Barrett was a Muslim, her zealotry would have been pathologized, not earn her a lifetime post on the highest court in the land. feministgiant.com/p/if-amy-coney…

The ancient Egyptian word for "makeup artist" derives from the word for "to write/engrave."

And the word for "makeup palette" derives from the word meaning "to protect."

“If we could, we would get on a plane and we would be on the front line with them," Argentine abortion rights activist Rosana Fanjul showing solidarity & support w/women of Poland who have been protesting a court ruling imposing near-total ban on abortion
Some protestors in Poland cover 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
“When the fascist fucks in your country use a pandemic to tighten their grip on your body with a near total ban on abortion, the path to freedom must be paved with profanity. Politeness is capitulation.

And Polish feminists know it.”
