Oksana Shachko, one of the founders of the Femen feminist protest movement, has been found dead in her Paris apartment, the group has said.

The 31-year-old Ukrainian was found on Monday with a suicide note next to her body, according to Femen activists.

Shachko was one of four feminist activists who founded Femen in Ukraine in 2008. Exiled in France since 2013, she had since left the group and was working as an artist.

Their protests also challenged authoritarianism and racism, with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, a particular target, along with France’s far-right Front National party.

Trump's Bloody Best Friend strikes again.

True Power (for Donald Trump) by Emily Elbert

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Soak up the scandals, honey, drink up the diversion
Ignore the voices of the poor and sick and hurting
Here's to the one percent, we’re clearly more deserving

Almighty dollar is my lover and my savior
Transport my golden throne to 16 Pennsylvania
Do not believe a thing you’re reading in the papers
The only truth is what is written in my favor

True power can’t be bought or stolen
If you build a wall of hatred, prepare to watch it crumble
We will not be silent, no, can’t you hear the thunder
So listen fear monger, your days are numbered

My daddy told me if I want it I can get it
The world’s my oyster and your body is my business
I put my tiny hands wherever I can fit them
Do not dissent or you’ll be fired like The Apprentice

I’m nothing if I’m not a man of family values
But poor kids go get your education in the drive thru
Don’t drink the water, or see the doctor - you can’t afford to
If you’re not rich, white, cis, and straight, then I don’t serve you

True power can’t be bought or stolen
If you build a wall of hatred, prepare to watch it crumble
We will not be silent, hear our voices roar like thunder
So listen fear monger, your days are numbered

Silence the scientists; I’m sick of their sad opinions
Who needs clean air or soil when you’ve got bigly billions
That Mother Earth’s like all those other nasty women
I try to repress; nevertheless, they are persisting

True power can’t be bought or stolen
If you build a wall of hatred, prepare to watch it crumble
We will not be silent, hear our voices roar like thunder
So listen fear monger, your days are numbered

Orange Floyd

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry
