#Handmaidstale
@aral A regular reminder that Ron DeSantis is a fascist #usa #florida #handmaidstale
@cfrangou this is what they think of women’s mental and physical life now in many GOP led states. So dystopian and terrifying. Depending on who wins the election in 2024 may be a further brutal assault on women and their bodies. I can’t imagine having to worry each election that my neighbours vote decides my choices about my body. So scary for our women next door 😞 #handmaidstale
Whenever I watch this scene, I want to scream, "RUN TO YOUR RIGHT!"
@georgetakei Thanks! A pull quote with hashtags, to get more eyeballs on it:
“For this new brand of #Republican #extremism that Trump helped unleash, the Dobbs decision was just one step toward an even larger endgame.
Eradicating #abortion from the nation—imposing their morality on every American regardless of state or individual beliefs—is the true goal.”

@chrisgeidner Florida seems to be rapidly approaching a point that is far beyond the worst imaginings in #HandmaidsTale how long will people endure this? Are they cheering it on? What’s tragic is so many other places seem to be following suit not just in America. This toxic message seems to be out of control.
@JugglingWithEggs The next step in this is ‘dress according to your gender’ and the jobsworths will decide what is appropriate. No women in jeans, trousers, arms to be covered, nothing lower than a round neck. No men in kilts, or djbella etc unless they are priests - then they can wear all the dresses they want. They can shove this sexist nonsense where the sun doesn’t shine. #HandmaidsTale
It's almost like democracy is a block of ice slowly melting in the late winter sun, with a squadron of fascist tinkers chipping away at the edges with hammer, sickel, chisel and awl. #LifeImitatesArt #WakeUp #BeAfraid

#Gilead is coming! Margaret Atwood already knew it 1985. In Idaho rapists can sue abortion providers, "abortion trafficking" is a crime for minors without parental consent, wait until every woman can be convicted for crossing state borders to have an #abortion. #whitesupremacy and #patriarchy want to control biological reproduction for war and wage exploitation, want to suppress #nonbinary #autonomy by state power.

@Coachmark I doubt they care. Being in charge and being total vandals, who can write whatever rules they want seems to be their MO. USA is in dangerous times and what is happening there has a horrible tendency to spread to other places like UK. Sadly, it seems the US Justice system isn’t controlling this madness. Not just #HandmaidsTale but racism, slavery, poverty and more happening. It’s not #Democracy and has no respect for others.
Idaho governor signs 'abortion trafficking' bill into law, 1st of its kind
The new law is the first of its kind in the United States.

https://www.dailysabah.com/arts/dystopian-handmaids-tale-costumes-become-protest-symbol-in-israel/news/amp Margaret Atwood could have imagined but not predicted her story would be so relevant for women across the globe, like this week in Tel Aviv. #women #gender #inequality #handmaidstale
@NataliaArmyOf1 #MargaretAtwood in #HandmaidsTale foretold a lot of where some American States are going; but even she missed this level of control. Apps to check the menstrual cycles of perfect strangers, but those same perfect strangers are never allowed to mention they menstruate in discussion in an educations facility, or anywhere really. How do people purchase tampons, pads etc? Do they have to use code, or mime?
@punko The three books in that Dystopian series are prescient and terrifying indeed. As is #HandmaidsTale. Atwood is an exceptional writer.
@koehntopp sind die jetzt total ausgerastet? Was kommt als nächstes, Schulverbot für Mädchen? Universitätsverbot für Frauen? #HandmaidsTale #Florida
"Women marking the red line."
Israeli women are clear - the takeover of government by right-wing religious extremists is an attack on them and doomed to failure.

CW: Michael Knowles telling people HOW a woman should and should not speak. Also NSFW language
.
.
.
.
I suspect next he'll be telling us WHEN we can speak... just like they do in a #theocracy
From the HuffPost article linked:
That’s not a word fit for a lady,” Knowles said to laughs. “That’s not the way ladies should speak. And we’re going to be talking about how ladies should speak here tonight.”
Margaret Atwood with a flamethrower and the unburnable book---The Handmaid's Tale as well as her new collection---Old Babes in the Woods: Stories.
Absolutely crossed the line. Their “pro-life” line makes no sense when it comes to their desire to murder women.
#handmaidstale 🤦🏻♀️
Just a note to American law makers.
The Handmaid’s Tale is not a how to manual.
#HumanRights
#HandmaidsTale
#politics
#fascism
@MJmusicinears 😳 That is like something from the #HandMaidsTale on #Hulu!
I guess the only difference is that the women volunteered to make babies for the Nazis & willingly signed away all rights to their kids.
@bleakfuture I first read #HandmaidsTale in my early late teens or 20s. All of her books. She shaped my politics, that’s for sure.
My father once told me my politics would change as I got older. Too bad he didn’t live long enough to see how wrong he was. If anything, I become more progressive and left leaning even in my 60’s. Especially since tfg was elected.
And now with all the kooky #ultramaga in Congress.
Unfortunately it’s starting to seep into #canadian politics too.
Now that Kentucky's clear about its intent to violate human rights, expect tourism to really take off!

@vjack only in the USA the not so free for women country anymore. Shameful men creating these barbaric rules that refuse to understand abortion tx is not murder, it’s often lifesaving for mother. Control over women in 2023. #handmaidstale #gilead
Nedávno jsem dočetl Příběh služebnice, teď jsem dokoukal 5. sezónu Příběhu služebnice a čeká mě další kniha ze světa Příběhu služebnice - Svědectví.
Když se do nějakého autorského světa ponořím, tak to musím mít vždycky komplet. :-)

So weird that 2 books published in 1985 predicted our current disasters: #HandmaidsTale and #WhiteNoise
@aBirdieOnaWire
Are they pushing to ban #HandmaidsTale from school libraries because they're afraid of spoilers, do you think?
They came for the trans girls but I didn't do anything because I'm not trans.
Then they came for the lesbians but I didn't do anything because I'm not a lesbian.
Mark my words... the #ChristianTaliban will not stop until they make the U.S. into #Gilead and a version of The #HandmaidsTale
#WomensRights intersect with the rights of #TransWomen and gay women.

If you haven't yet read the Handmaid's Tale, you probably should. That's the future that the cult is moving us towards. We're halfway there. #handmaidstale #GOPSeditiousTraitors
@eosfpodcast @medium the #HandmaidsTale literally just takes the historical reproductive experiences of Black & indigenous women and spins it into a dystopia w white victims. June is straight up a white Harriet Tubman. For some reason, that’s what it takes to get people to care.
Also, #JamesBaldwin wrote some interesting things on why we don’t need fantastical horror in “The Devil Finds Work.” This whole topic was my Cambridge dissertation 😂🤓
@rvawonk under his eye!

@AnarchoNinaWrites @vegetablegremlin
hitler could have won if he did not make tactical mistakes and over stretch.
he had many western sympathisers.
there are intelligent men in positions of power who want christo fascist minority rule backed by billionaires who want low taxes and wage slavery.
i am under no belief that good triumphs.
June: it’s changing, Luke. This country is changing
Luke: no, Canada is not Gilead
June: America wasn’t Gilead until it was, and then it was too late.
Final episode S5 #HandmaidsTale
Ouch!
How will cis-women who can't get pregnant get categorized? Will we all be Marthas or are we automatically un-women.
Basically #science #religion and the battle between them, with #philosophy thrown in - seen through the eyes of 19th century life of women. In some way more terrifying than #HandmaidsTale because this stuff really happened.
If you've watched "The Handmaid's Tale", this should scare the shit out of you.

2. Handmaid's Tale Season Finale was AMAZING!!!
3. Tried the tip to secure the Remembrance Day Poppy and it worked!

Well, #HandmaidsTale is over but I feel like maybe it’s not? Definitely feels like they could come back in a few years and pull a Dexter with a wrap up season. Or maybe a full length film.
@kathygriffin at 9pm i’ll switch over to watch #handmaidstale to get more ideas for resistance.
Still complacent about UK #abortionrights?
If so, wake up. Or NEVER complain if you're suppressed next
Who do you think threw $ at creating #Brexit?
The same US altright antichoice #HandmaidsTale cult that our own #fascistfondlers love
