    It’s from The Handmaid’s Tale. Great TV show based on an amazing book that is all too relevant.

    If you haven’t read or seen it, you should. Like right now. Before January 20th at least. Margaret Atwood made sure that everything that happens in the story is something that has happened (to women) at some point in history. Because she knew there would be men saying that it’s sensationalist, and would never happen… turns out all of it has happened.

    Beware: it is harrowing. Very very very bad stuff. But sometimes it’s necessary to not turn away from these horrifying things. Especially when they’re happening again.

    It’s like the authors of Project 2025 read it and used it as an instruction manual, rather than a warning.
