Awww SNAP, The ‘Handmaid Army’ has arrived in Minnesota to help protest ICE deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
“Who dat Harpo?” you say…
The “Handmaid Army” refers to decentralized protest groups, inspired by Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, where members wear the iconic red robes and white bonnets to demonstrate for women’s rights, bodily autonomy, and against perceived authoritarianism, fascism, and threats to democracy, often targeting conservative events or institutions like the Heritage Foundation. These groups, including Handmaid Army DC, organize silent marches, protests, and rallies to visually symbolize oppression and resistance, advocating for issues from reproductive rights to immigration policies. The Handmaid’s Tale is a renowned 1985 dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood, later adapted into a popular Hulu television series, set in the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian, patriarchal, and theonomic regime that has replaced the United States. It depicts a,, world suffering from plunging birthrates, where fertile women, known as Handmaids, are forced into sexual servitude to bear children for the ruling elite, the Commanders. SPOILER ALERT.…The Handmaid’s Tale series finale concludes with a, violent, successful, Mayday-led, liberation of Boston, with June instrumental in destroying Gilead’s leadership. In short ‘ The Handmaid’s Tale’ is similar to what is happening today.
What does this all of this mean, not sure, but it looks like The Handmaid Army is standing ten toes down with Minnesota ‘Praise be, Sisters. Stay safe and take care of one another.’
