With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show.
But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

In THT (at least on Netflix), liberal women got trapped becuz they didn't take the threat seriously enough.
Absolutely a disgrace to yourselves and your fellow women-kind!
Only education will save this country from the mass ignorant fools!

This threw me off .
Can't wait, (and am a bit scared,) to have my mind blown. 😳
Ignorance & hate is a Choice.
Thank you.
A supposedly FREE Country
that becomes most tyrannical murderous rapist cesspool of inept male politicians w tiny dicks who need control & power to help ease their chronic insecurities & weaknesses
But the SAVE Act will make it harder for women who change their names to vote!
Ask your Rep to vote no.

Your sarcasm wasn’t clear, and I don’t assume anyone is a subject matter expert based off a few flippant lines in a post.
But, you know, keep poking at the people on the same side. Divisiveness is clearly going to help women progress. /s

Rewatching it now is like... being mentally and emotionally disemboweled.
#Project2025 is real.
I thought you might like "The Handmaid's Tale" on Disney+.

Ya know, like right now.
Nothing they're doing is new.
They just join a cushy bookclub and create a show to talk about how horrible it is if it happened.. when it already did.
They just don't listen to the people it happens to.
People have been so demoralized (2) that they don't care until it happens to them directly.
Also, if things go down like the book, crossing the border will face more resistance from the inside. Better to go through the woods than a legal entry point. Employment is a different matter.
I hope everything goes smoothly for you!
They already don't trust any banks in the nation, though, so the Treasury is not on their radar.
And (as a woman, and being a foreigner in the country I call my home) it often made me question if I would know when the right moment to leave would be, or if I would hold on too long.

THINK AGAIN
THE PROPOSED REPUBLICAN "SAVE" VOTING ACT:
discriminates against MARRIED women who adopt their husband’s surname since their (required) birth certificate name will not match their married name (required PASSPORT)
https://historyfacts.com/arts-culture/article/what-your-last-name-says-about-your-history/
Trans people aren't the ultimate target of these actions. Women are.
Good times.
If you want to point a finger, I point it to wyt women
all 13 yr old girls must register for inspection weekend trips at Mar a Lago upon the emperors beckon call
But I guess that says something about how gullible people are to social media.
Mike Johnson is ALREADY THERE with his BIBLE BULLSHIT!
Married women have to carry their revised birth certificates!
All we need now is for that Felon Fuckwad to nuke the blue states and it's GAME ON!
Black & Native women are past exhausted. Many Asian & Latina women who've been in the work for decades are also exhausted. We're not fodder.
I know there are pros and cons to my statement, but it's just too close to home now 😢
bullets, and they realize the coup is complete, the regime is already in place. Life as they knew it is DONE.
We are driving, speeding really, down a road that includes forks where those things happen. Other forks where they don’t.
Jesus! Grab the wheel!
Can be either prayer or explicit command to the complacent.
The descriptions of HOW New Gilead came to be are the most important part of the book. The rest is just narrative highlighting the end result.
I hope teachers can see that. I hope we all can.
the Nile is a river in Egypt 😔
January 6th was practice but we the people cannot let them, just like Koreans protected their Parliament.
The same Congress who was running from his goons are kowtowing to him. But history often repeats itself and this time they might be successful.
OF NOTE: I’m not making light of “rape”, only that we have a rapey drunken White supremacist FOX commentator as SECDEF.
They can seize assets / bank accounts, since everything they are doing is illegal anyway.
They want an authoritarian database of everyone, to track and control us. Because being bllionaires isn’t enough.
Why are we all taking this crap from them?
Musk said he has 11 kids bc he, “walks the walk.” Since the 2023 media takeover that enabled the coup, I saw the “anti-single mothers”/no divorce even for domestic violence argument even in the Atlantic.
I guess it could be they're downplaying it because inside they're terrified.
Take your pick.
In the most extreme cases, these young women have no birth certificates, no social security numbers, & no real education or skills.
It has always been legal to deny bank accounts to trans women in most states. I had extreme difficulty opening one and had to carry around $2000 for awhile. I have also never had a job since coming out.
Nothing like that will happen to cis women.
our man died on us, frequently without warning.
The book was a little easier because I could put it down at the end of a chapter or even at the end of a sentence. Stopping in the middle of a TV episode fucks up the flow.

Can’t see it being made into a movie/series anytime soon.
One of my biggest takeaways from the book was that what happened in their world was completely predictable.
Also, foreign cash, too.
This shyat still fucks with me whoever did it!!!
Please participate 🙏. This will help show the trump administration that the people do NOT approve of his actions, as well as negatively impacting his economy. If you’re looking for a good way to resist, this is it.
Critical thinking skills are no longer encouraged, hence the rise of conspiracies.
So half of the population Believe Americans are unstoppable. 🙄
My suggestion, cut us off. We need to be taught a lesson.
The amount of homeless, poverty, destitute and impoverished Americans about to hit the streets is going to be Sad and a rude awakening for MAGAs voting against their own interests in the name of Anti-Black racism.
