No longer asking which episode of the series or section of The Handmaid’s Tale book we’re in. The more unsettling question is whether we’re still in the prequel, watching democratic erosion, normalized cruelty, technocratic obedience, and fear being rehearsed before the real regime fully arrives.

¿Te imaginas si pudieramos vivir como siempre han vivido los ricos, sin la obligación de ganarnos el pan, porque el pan fuera simplemente un derecho? Aixa de la Cruz.
