Russian feminist protest and performance art group Pussy Riot briefly hung a 45-foot banner from the Texas State Capitol building's third floor that read "Matriarchy Now!" Thursday to fight attacks on reproductive rights in the U.S. The group was able to pose for a photo with the banner, with their fists held high and masks covering their faces, though it's not clear how long it remained. In a press release, they said the "gopnik" tracksuits and green scarves they wore were popularized in Latin America during protests for reproductive rights.
