Twitter has permanently suspended Marjorie Taylor Greene's account over COVID-19 misinformation. I wrote this about her last January: If Trump could give birth, it would've been to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
If the female insurrectionists were footsoldiers of the white supremacist patriarchy who had misread proximity to the power of white men as their own power, then Greene and Boebert are their golden calves.
If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would be in Guantanamo Bay and in shackles. But because she is white, evangelical, and a woman--a rich one at that--she is instead a member of House of Representatives in the most powerful country in the world. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…
Greene was dangerous and vile long before she was elected but because much of her vileness was directed at Muslims, Black people, and Jews, Republicans shrugged and carried on being the craven shits they are, happy to throw their weight behind anyone who brings them votes. Marjorie Taylor Greene wear...
It is imperative to recognize that Greene, like Trump, is not aberration. Southern white women are the nexus of the GOP’s Southern Strategy’s reliance on race, gender, and religion to keep white people in that part of the U.S. resolutely Republican and increasingly right wing.
White supremacist & increasingly evangelical patriarchy has army of willing white women serving as footsoldiers.

The danger is that someone as vile as Greene is normalized by U.S. media. White, blonde, Christian women are afforded privilege of default & audacity of innocence
If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would have been led away in handcuffs on her way to a waterboarding. Instead, she is a white supremacist terrorist who sits at the heart of U.S. power. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…

And when I say that US media normalize vile fascists like Marjorie Taylor Greene, I remind you: see how Elle article described one of the most dangerous people to ever be elected to the US Congress (and that's saying something) to see the fuckery white women get away with Elle magazine headline: The...Image description Text: Mar...

To equivocate as Axios does between Greene and Ilhan Omar and other members of the Squad, against whom Greene has incited violence, is spineless “both sides“ media fuckery that consistently refused and failed to call out Trump’s racism and fascism. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-… Headline: The Mischief MakersText: Several Republican an...

If they were not white, from any other country, or certainly if they were Muslim, the women who stormed the U.S. Capitol on #Jan6, and those who are QAn*n supporters, would be called fanatics, thus is the privilege of whiteness. I wrote this on Jan10, 2021 feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…
Even when they join an insurrection, even as they pummel their way through the doors that held back the mob braying for violence white women are still remembered for the best versions of themselves. Women who joined ISIS were never afforded such an audacious innocence. #Jan6 Text: When U.S. media have ...
White womanhood is privilege sweetened with an innocence and fragility that white women--liberal or conservative, Trump-voting or not--are adept at weaponizing. feministgiant.com/p/white-women-… #January6

#ThisIs54 It's not my birthday but I post these pictures so that you can see a woman in her 50s doing whatever. Every day I try to move more and laugh more.
