Hi Loyal Readers. Thank you for opening this week's issue of Article Club.Today's issue is dedicated to my interview with Gideon Lewis-Kraus, author of this month's featured article, “The End of Children.” I hope you read the article and take a listen to the interview.Yes: This article is about the imminent worldwide population implosion — in other words, how by the end of this century, we're going to start losing people, and fast, and how the human race might inevitably go extinct sooner rather than later.And yes: I was surprised when I found myself interested in this topic. After all, before reading this piece, I would have said two things: (1) Um, isn't climate change what we should be worrying about? and (2) Doesn't this inexorably lead to “childless cat ladies” and The Handmaid's Tale?But let me tell you: The magic of Mr. Lewis-Kraus's writing and reporting, alongside the spirit of Article Club — which encourages us to build our empathy — got me to rethink my perspective on the plummeting human fertility rate.And this was all before getting to talk to the author himself. As you know, one of my favorite things about Article Club is that writers generously say yes to talking with us. The same was true with Mr. Lewis-Kraus. Here's a photo of him, so you know what he looks like, and then I'll write a bit about what I appreciated about our interview.It was wonderful to meet Mr. Lewis-Kraus. More than what's typical in these Article Club interviews, we talked about writing and craft. A significant part of our conversation was about how he structured and organized the piece.His thoughtfulness was apparent right from the beginning of our conversation. I loved learning how he decided to write the story in the first place and why he chose South Korea as his case study of population collapse. Some people told Mr. Lewis-Kraus that South Korea and its 0.7 fertility rate was “played out” and “a cliché,” but nobody from a major magazine had spent time in the country, he said. I was personally grateful that Mr. Lewis-Kraus took significant space in his article reporting from South Korea. If you want to gain a better appreciation of how serious the problem is there, I encourage you to watch this 15-minute video, recommended by loyal reader Peter.I was also impressed with Mr. Lewis-Kraus's awareness of his readers as he drafted the piece. He understood, for example, that his audience (aka subscribers of The New Yorker) are astute readers who mostly lean progressive and who may believe that population decline is a problem only in some countries, like Italy and Japan. Rather than skirting this issue, Mr. Lewis-Kraus decided to tackle it head on:What I realized was, Everyone is going to feel like they've read this story before — like, everyone is going to feel like they've heard this. And so the major thing that I need to do upfront is say to people, essentially directly address the reader, and say, like, You sophisticated reader might think that you know what's going on here, but you don't know what's going on here.Later in our conversation, I asked Mr. Lewis-Kraus how he makes sure not to get ahead of his readers — on the one hand respecting their knowledge, but on the other hand acknowledging that they haven't spent hundreds of hours reporting and thinking about this issue, as he has. I found his answer to be humble. Part of what, what doing this job is, is it's starting knowing nothing about something and then very quickly learning as much as you can — without forgetting what it felt like to know nothing about it.More than anything else, I left this conversation with deep respect of Mr. Lewis-Kraus and his process as a writer. As I've said many times over the years, while I can recognize the highest-quality writing when I read it, I still don't understand how writers are able to pull it off. That's maybe one reason I keep doing this newsletter — so that I can continue to explore this question and share my findings with you. Thank you very much for joining me on this journey.An invitation to our discussion on July 27I warmly invite you to participate in our discussion on Sunday, July 27, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll meet on Zoom. You can sign up below, it's free.Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Le secteur public est en France un terrain de prédilection pour les fictions. On ne compte plus le nombre de séries ou de films dont l'intrigue prend place à l'hôpital, dans les établissements d'enseignement ou encore au sommet de l'État, sans même compter les séries judiciaires qui dépeignent, avec ou plus moins de réalisme, la vie des tribunaux ou des forces de l'ordre.Et si ces fictions pouvaient nous éclairer et nous aider à comprendre davantage les arcanes de la fonction publique et du management public et, au-delà, de la sphère publique dans son ensemble ? Telle est l'ambition du podcast Fictions publiques.Au fil des épisodes du podcast, nous proposons de nous pencher sur des concepts, des professions, des collectifs et des situations propres au secteur public, en nous appuyant sur des formats fictionnels, et en particulier des séries, françaises et étrangères. Quelles relations l'écosystème public entretient-il avec ces formats ? Quelle grille de lecture, quelles représentations diffusent-ils à ceux qui les regardent ? Dans quelle mesure reflètent-ils les évolutions sociétales, et celles du secteur et de ses métiers ? Quelles normes, valeurs, biais transmettent-ils en nous transportant dans un univers que beaucoup de spectateurs connaissent mal ou peu ? En somme, à quels réels, à quels imaginaires, voire à quels fantasmes les fictions donnent-elles naissance ?Il était une fois, dans un futur proche, un régime totalitaire bâti sur les cendres des États-Unis qui s'était approprié le corps des femmes…Parce que la dystopie, en tant que genre, a ce talent particulier, d'exagérer certains traits du réel pour mieux les révéler, elle nous pousse à interroger ce qui nous entoure – sans forcément prétendre tout expliquer. Elle agit comme une loupe. Un peu comme le fit en leurs temps 1984 d'Orwell ou Le Meilleur des mondes d'Huxley.Alors que la série s'est définitivement achevée en mai 2025 à l'issue de sa sixième saison et que nous entrevoyons désormais le sort réservé à June Osborne et à ses sœurs d'infortune, nous vous proposons, dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast Fictions publiques, de plonger dans une fiction marquante, à l'écho vertigineux. Un conte cruel, dérangeant, The Handmaid's Tale – La Servante écarlate, en français.Car la série peut, contre toute attente, nous aider à réfléchir à des questions qui dépassent largement le cadre de la fiction. Des questions de pouvoir, de contrôle et de riposte. À travers un récit extrême, la série nous tend un miroir – certes déformant – mais utile pour amorcer la réflexion sur les organisations de travail, à travers deux notions fondamentales : la discipline et la résistance.Épisode écrit par : Nils Randriamanantena, doctorant en sciences de gestion à l'IAE Panthéon Sorbonne et manager public, avec la participation de Carine Biget, rédactrice en chef de la revue AJFP.Épisode raconté par : Nils Randriamanantena.Podcast créé par : Carine Biget et Cécile Guerbignot.Réalisé par : Laurent Montant, directeur du Studio Média Lefebvre Dalloz et Axel Gable, ingénieur du son, Lefebvre Dalloz.© Lefebvre Dalloz – juillet 2025.Hébergé par Ausha.

Margaret Atwood is a living legend. The Canadian author and poet has written over 50 books and has been published in more than 45 countries. Her 1985 classic "The Handmaid's Tale" garnered acclaim and alarm, predicting a dystopian future in which women had no rights. Now in her 80s, she  released her new book, "Old Babes in the Wood," a collection of 15 short stories. Jenna Bush Hager visited Atwood's alma mater, the University of Toronto, where the two sat down to discuss her childhood, career and upcoming memoir. 

We're joined by Museum Enthusiast and Night at the Museum superfan Renée Iosefa to discuss the second (and best) Night at the Museum film. We've been trying to get Renée on the pod for ages but this woman is always booked and busy, so we're excited to find a time to talk "the greatest film trilogy of all time". Hapless museum night watchman Larry Daley must help his living, breathing exhibit friends out of a pickle now that they've been transferred to the archives at the Smithsonian Institution. Larry's (mis)adventures this time include close encounters with Amelia Earhart, Abe Lincoln and Ivan the Terrible. (Sourced from Letterboxd). Pop corner kernels this ep include The Funeral Parade of Roses, The Company of Strangers, Expelled!, Adults, Lorde's new album Virgin, Heretic and the Handmaid's Tale.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! A lo largo de estas páginas he intentado recuperar la respiración de una mujer silenciada, su costura de memorias rotas, su furia contenida en una oración susurrada. Este diario no pretende explicar nada. Solo dejar constancia de que hubo alguien mirando. Y resistiendo. Gracias a Olga Paraíso, por prestar su voz a las cicatrices. Por no actuar, sino encarnar. Por convertir este susurro en eco. Las palabras sobrevivieron porque alguien las pronunció en alto. L.J. Harlow Autora del manuscrito, aún en voz baja ♍ L.J. Harlow nació en el noroeste de Massachusetts, donde aprendió a escribir antes que a hablar en voz alta. Creció entre cuadernos, libros viejos y relatos susurrados por mujeres que no salían en los periódicos. Desde entonces, su escritura ha buscado preservar lo invisible. Solitaria por elección, rara vez concede entrevistas. Cree que una historia debe hablar por sí misma, y que demasiadas explicaciones debilitan lo que se ha escrito desde la herida. Se refugia en una casa antigua frente al mar, donde cultiva lilas, escucha estaciones de radio desaparecidas y cuida una gata sin nombre que entró un día sin pedir permiso. A lo largo de los años ha escrito bajo distintos seudónimos, colaborando como guionista y narradora en proyectos de ficción sonora, literatura clandestina y archivos documentales. Uno de sus trabajos más destacados es el documental “Las que regresan” (1985), una pieza íntima y cruda que reúne testimonios de mujeres que sobrevivieron a estructuras de control y silenciamiento. El documental fue prohibido en varios países por su carga política y su enfoque crítico sobre las narrativas oficiales. Para quienes han sido obligadas a callar. Para quienes no dejaron de mirar. Escribí esto en voz baja, pero con el corazón en la mano. L.J. Harlow BIBLIOGRAFÍA Este diario se inspira y se entrelaza con el universo narrativo de The Handmaid’s Tale de Margaret Atwood, tanto en su novela original (El cuento de la criada, 1985) como en sus adaptaciones televisivas. Para la construcción de este testimonio ficticio, se han considerado elementos procedentes de los siguientes textos y materiales: Atwood, Margaret. The Handmaid’s Tale. McClelland & Stewart, 1985. Atwood, Margaret. The Testaments. McClelland & Stewart, 2019. Hulu / MGM Television. The Handmaid’s Tale (TV Series), creada por Bruce Miller, temporadas 1-5 (2017–2023). Documentación histórica sobre regímenes autoritarios, teorías del control social y estudios sobre la pérdida de derechos civiles en sociedades modernas. Ensayos académicos sobre género, poder y memoria colectiva en contextos distópicos contemporáneos. Este diario no pretende ofrecer una reconstrucción literal de los hechos, sino una voz íntima e imaginada de lo que pudo ser la conciencia clandestina de una Criada cualquiera.

Bradley Whitford Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson It was a sweet reunion when 3 x Emmy-winner Bradley Whitford of The West Wing was surprised and serenaded by composer Snuffy Walden, with the show's Emmy-winning theme. They share quite a bit of history, having also done Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Last night Snuff and I binged the pilot episodes of both shows and were astounded by how timely they still are. Bradley and I discussed his storyline in that first West Wing, which could've been ripped out of today's headlines. We also talked about Studio 60 and the irony of Danny Trip's confession to Matt Albie, played by Matthew Perry, about his drug slip. Bradley's emotional remembrance of the show, its cast, and specifically Matthew's comedic brilliance, and the pocket of sobriety for Matt that allowed for some of his best work. Bradley ain't no Hollywood fluffernutter. Of progressive Quaker stock, his father, who worked at an insurance company, was the local president of Planned Parenthood before it was political, his mother was an outspoken advocate, and his brother, a conscientious objector. Talk about an unusual childhood, he has an 85-year-old sister. Bradley came from a loving, functional home, and still became an actor. Now that's an anomaly right there. We did a deep dive into the state of the union. Thoughtful, passionate, and in solution, Bradley puts his activism where his mouth is. We talked Trump, Musk, Kennedy, gender affirming care, Biden, Kamala, Hillary, Iran, immigration, how art will not save us, only politics will. And yet much of Bradley's art is political. We spoke about The Handmaid's Tale from innumerable angles. For me, arguably perhaps the greatest show ever on television, and his Commander Lawrence, is probably the most layered, complex character he's portrayed. We talked about Elisabeth and their earlier connection in The West Wing, Anne Dowd, and how her spectacular performance inspired Margaret Atwood's writing, The Testaments, for her. Bradley was far more interested in talking about current affairs and how essential it is that we do more than talk than he was in talking about his work. But we did squeeze in some time to discuss For Worse, the indie feature his bride, Amy Landecker, wrote, directed, and stars in alongside Bradley. His respect, love, and admiration to Amy are adorable to behold. Making the festival circuit and winning awards along the way, I can't wait to see the film loosely based on their romance. I'm a fan. A great, big avid Bradley Whitford fan. The last time we met, it was at a big Hollywood soiree. He was equally as open, personable, unaffected, opinionated, and accessible as he was this day. As much as I adore his work, I'm grateful as hell for his humanity and advocacy. I hope to consider “What would Bradley do” a whole lot more moving forward. And speaking of hope, he has it in abundance… mix that with some fun, his learned recipe's secret sauce, and there's good reason to trust that there are better days ahead. It's up to us, all of us, to make it so. This should be essential viewing for anyone in fear and despair.

In the second episode of our Shapes Series, we'll be moving along the triangle and talking about the Persecutor Approach and how it often manifests into manipulative and abusive behaviors that lead to toxic relationship dynamics.In this episode we cover:A quick reminderReview of the Empowerment EcosystemWhat's at the core of this approachWhat is the Persecutor ApproachThe primary characteristic of someone who is in the Persecutor ApproachWhat's important to know about the Persecutor ApproachSome of the ways the Persecutor Approach manifests in everyday life Examples of Persecutor Approach behaviors The difference between masking and manipulationDARVO and DARVO like behaviorsHandmaid's Tale spoiler alert - timestamp 58:32-1:00:45 Why so many people allow toxic relationships into their livesEpisode References:The Victim Approach episode - Episode 159 - How to know if the way you're meeting your needs is disempowering (Shapes 1) - The Victim ApproachNote: Link for the TikTok paint video: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdktcdsh/Resources:Click here to download the companion PDF to this episode (and the rest of the Interaction Dynamics series): https://theuniversalneeds.com/The-Interaction-Dynamics

It's the end of everything! Welcome back to Part 2 of our season finale featuring Dr. Charles Liu, co-host Allen Liu, and our guest archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. (If you haven't caught up to Part 1, we highly recommend you do before embarking on the next leg of this journey! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!) We pick right up where we left off, with the next question from our audience. Daniela asks, “If a black hole hits the Sun, will Earth be destroyed?” Chuck explains a few ways a black hole can mess with our day, including the fact that long before any actual collision took place, the Sun would start shedding material that would destroy us. He compares that unlikely event to the actual example of cosmic destruction we're watching in NGC 4676 – aka “The Mice” – which are two galaxies swirling together in a death spiral playing out over hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, this leads Chuck to ponder what happens when civilizations fall apart here on Earth, and Hannah brings up the collapse of the Roman Empire. As she explains, “the fall of Rome happened a lot of times, and also, no time.” From 44 BCE and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to the 476 invasion and conquest of Rome by the Germanic tribes denoted by Edward Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the fact ever since nations have claimed to be the descendants or inheritors of Rome. Chuck points out the influence of Gibbon's book on Isaac Asimov's “Foundation” series, followed by a very quick romp through “Decline and Fall of America” literature including The Handmaid's Tale, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Man in the High Castle, and the zombie apocalypse tour de force, World War Z. Then it's time for another question from the audience: Michael says, “I heard that scientists brought back a dire wolf. Could they bring back dinosaurs or animals that could destroy us all?” It turns out, these resurrected animals are just gray wolves that have been engineered to have some characteristics of the extinct predator. It's still a pretty impressive feat, though, and you'll hear how they collected bits and pieces of dire wolf DNA to “resurrect them.” Allen also brings up similar modification experiments they're doing on chickens to make them more dinosaur-like. Allen points out that bioengineered germs are far more likely to cause our destruction than resurrected dinosaurs, regardless of the world envisioned in the Jurassic Park franchise. And speaking of Michael Crichton, Chuck gives us a breakdown of his sci-fi classic, The Andromeda Strain, about bacteria from space that cause a biological outbreak here on Earth. Hannah points out that historically, some of the biggest killers of human beings have been plagues. She gives us a guided tour of the bubonic plagues, from the Black Death, which may have wiped out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, to the Plague of Justinian a thousand years earlier that killed as many as 100 million people, while also name dropping the Antonine Plague and the Spanish Flu!) And that's it Season 4 of The LIUniverse. Stay tuned for Season 5 after the summer.

I once believed that the worst thing that could happen to this country was to have a Conservative Supreme Court. That was supposed to be the end of everything. I would scream those words into the abyss all through 2016 to anyone who didn't want to vote for Hillary Clinton, “THE SUPREME COURT.”I grew up on the Left, after all, and nothing scared us more than Christianity in our schools, in our corporations, institutions, and in our courts. If Trump won, he would appoint Conservative Christians to the highest court in the land, and that would be the end of Roe v. Wade, the end of the feminist movement, and women's rights.Well, it turns out, we didn't need Conservative Christians to do that. The Left did it all on their own, leaving just one right in place, the right to terminate a pregnancy, or, if you prefer, kill our babies. We use soft language like “choice” and “terminate” as though that changes the reality.Now that the Left has been assured that the pace of abortion did not slow down and women can use abortion like reproductive bulimia - have fun now, deal with the problem later - they've moved on to more pressing matters.I don't think abortion should be illegal. But you know what should be? “Gender-affirming care” for minors. That is the most grotesque example of soft language ever invented by my former side. Call it what it is - sterilization. Top surgery is a double mastectomy. Bottom surgery is castration.In all the ways I feared religion and Christianity infiltrating our schools and institutions has now been left in the dust by a dangerous, fanatical, unstoppable cult that has left too many young men and women destroyed and mutilated in its wake.What a fool I was. Now, I am so grateful for Conservative Christians. I'm so grateful to Donald Trump, who put them on the court. I am glad we lost, even if I didn't know that in 2016. Now I do. Now I can see.Because Hillary Clinton lost, we did not get control of the court. And thank God for that. Because if we had, there is no way the bill from Tennessee to ban “gender affirming care” would have been upheld.Like everyone else on my former side, I was convinced Trump's win in 2016 would end everything we held dear, especially the Supreme Court. We'd been fighting with the Right for years to get control of it. We watched Merrick Garland's appointment obstructed, and we fumed.After Trump won, we became an unhinged, hysterical, angry mob of women who felt it was our right to convict Justice Kavanaugh of rape in the court of public opinion.And to demonize and depict Amy Coney Barrett as the Handmaid.But what I know now that I did not know back in 2016 was that when a society excuses and allows for the young to be sterilized, that's when the bottom drops out, whether it's Eugenics or “gender affirming care.” I didn't see the problem. I was comfortable with the soft language of the Left. We were the good people standing up for marginalized groups.It took me years to realize just how insane the Left had become. But it's one thing if it's just about cancel culture, destroying Hollywood, comedy, art, and book publishing. It's a whole other thing if we're allowing irreversible harm to be done to the minds and bodies of children.But thankfully, God invented Conservatives and they rose to do what we could not, just as they did back before the Civil War to end slavery and for the same reason — they believed it was morally wrong. Now, they are back to stop the Democrats from doing something morally wrong. It's the Christian Right yet again that is on the right side of history.I'm not a religious person, though I wish I could be. I imagine there is relief in that connection to something more powerful than yourself, and maybe that is what so many of these young people need, not “gender-affirming care.” This de-transitioner realized she was made in God's image, which helped her find her way out.I always believed religion was dangerous and destructive. But whatever I thought about religion, and whatever the Left thinks about it now, it can't touch what madness has been manifested by the Left. Look at what they've done.Christianity, we all believed, was the source of bigotry against gays and lesbians. We wanted no part of that. I still don't. But today, I am grateful that they have been fighting this fight because I do not think we could have done it without them.Matt Walsh has been relentless. He's not only reported on the horrors of “gender-affirming care” on his show but also appeared in town halls and government, and helped push the fight in Tennessee to ban the practice. He deserves much credit today.It's ironic, isn't it, that it has been left up to many Conservative Christians to state biological reality. Growing up, I was on that side, and they weren't. Now, the Left has pulled so far into madness that the Conservative Christians are the more pragmatic side.They lock arms with independent thinkers who function as the sane middle, like Colin Wright, Andrew Doyle, Gays Against Groomers, Christina Buttons, and Peter Boghossian:The forces that oppose them are powerful, as this statement by the American Psychological Association shows. But the resistance forces are stronger.The Democrats are collectively too stupid to understand that this is not the hill to die on.The Climate of Fear This is a public episode.

“All you have to do, I tell myself, is keep your mouth shut and look stupid. It shouldn't be that hard.” - Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale.Last month, Margaret Hoover lobbed Hillary Clinton with sickeningly sweet softball questions for a lengthy interview about her new book. What book was it? Who knows, and who cares? Whatever it is, almost nothing in it will be the truth.When asked what advice she would give to the first woman president, Hillary paused — a pregnant pause that seemed to say, “Well, why can't it still be me?” as the audience laughed. Then, she said, “Don't be a Handmaiden for the patriarchy,” like all the women on the Right.But she's wrong. Republican women aren't the Handmaids. On the contrary, they've put the so-called “feminists” to shame. They aren't afraid of the fanatics on the Left who tried to force all of us into compliance. They have spoken out without mincing words about scientific and biological reality.Most importantly, they have been the only women in government willing to stare down the cult that seeks to erase women. Not a single Democrat has that kind of courage, male or female. But it's those who call themselves “feminists” who have been exposed as cowards and frauds. They are the real Handmaids.I didn't use to think so. I thought Hillary Clinton fought for the rights of women and girls. That's how she sold herself, anyway, and liberal women like me bought the lie. I even downloaded an audio copy of The Handmaid's Tale, thinking it would resonate with me as part of the “resistance.”But as the story unfolded, a chill went down my spine. It didn't remind me of the Right. It reminded me of the Left, everything that had happened to us after Trump won the first time, and how quickly mass hysteria consumed us and how obedient we all became in the wake of it.As if to prove my point, I knew I could not tell my friends we were the side living the Handmaid's Tale. As I began to pull away from my fellow comrades on the Left and directly challenge the new rules of the Woke, I thought some women who called themselves leaders would rise up and speak out. They never did.When I realized that the transgender social contagion had captured a generation of young girls and boys, and how so many of them were waking up to what happened to them at the hands of professionals, therapists, clinicians, and experts, I waited for strong female leaders to stand up for them, to protect them. They never did.When the fanatics on the Left rewrote the rules of biological reality, like there is no difference between men and women, that “trans women are women,” whether they're competing in sports, Jeopardy, or Chess. I thought the strong female leaders who fought so hard for Title IX would speak up and fight for women and girls to compete fairly. They never did.Hillary Clinton's silence on these fundamental rights to protect women and children has been deafening. Even though her history will be written by pandering sycophants like I used to be, who will never call her out for her silence and complicity, some of us will never forget.She and the other “feminists” leave quite a legacy. A whole generation of young women raised to sell themselves out, women like Olympic athlete Simone Biles, who exposed herself as a Handmaid on X by attacking Riley Gaines in a deeply personal way, calling her a “sore loser.”But imagine if Biles had to compete against biological men. Would she stand by and say nothing? Would she chant “trans women are women”?The real fight for women's rights, and the rights of children, has exposed the so-called feminists like Hillary Clinton, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and every female Democrat in Congress as too weak and ineffectual ever to be real leaders.They've turned a blind eye to stories of girls being forced to share a dorm with a man pretending to be a woman whose visible erection gave him away. They said nothing when a sex offender infiltrated the Wi Spa in Los Angeles and exposed himself to little girls and women, with protesters outside chanting Trans Women are Women.The Democrats haven't just gone along with it; they've gaslighted and shamed any Republican who dares to try to end the madness. They work hard every day to make sure young girls are told they do not have the right to speak up for their own protection, for fairness in sports, because it will ruin their lives if they do.Handmaids don't speak out. They can't. Handmaids do as they're told. Handmaids live in fear. Handmaids bow to their authoritarian leader. That's not the women on the Right, Hillary, that's you.Whatever the feminist movement used to be, it's been hijacked by approval-seeking narcissists who cling to abortion as the only act of empowerment they have left. They do not realize that all that does is further erode the rights of women. If babies don't matter, then mothers don't matter. If mothers don't matter, civilization collapses.The first thing cults do is separate children from their mothers. It's easy to see why. If you break that bond, they can be more easily controlled—both the women and the children.Like Hillary Clinton, Simone Biles might not know what Riley Gaines has suffered when she was trapped in a classroom and held hostage as activists surrounded her, screamed at her, and mocked her fear—all of giving a speech.Instead, Biles and the rest of the Handmaids of the Left have basked in the adoration bestowed upon them by the cult that rewards them for their obedience.But because of their “don't ask, don't tell” strategy of dealing with a problem they can't solve, it's been left up to a growing chorus of voices speaking out - loudly, boldly, and without fear.What does Hillary think that Trump, the man she called a rapist and a misogynist did what she never could, that he signed an Executive Order to protect women in sports.What does she think about his proclamation that it's time to end the madness of “gender-affirming care?” Does it bother her that a man has done the dirty work? Who knows, no one will ever ask her that question. She exists in her own insular bubble, a padded cell that keeps the hard questions out.But the man she insists we should all fear is the one who helped rescue women and children from the clutches of fanaticism.It Takes a Village to De-Trans AmericaThe list of those who have stuck their necks out includes women and men from all backgrounds, on the Left and the Right. Megyn Kelly has become a singular force in the movement. As her media empire has grown, so has her voice. Her videos are seen by millions every day. The story of how this war was won cannot be told without her.The women of the Right that Hillary Clinton smeared deserve much credit, too, for staring down the cult and using their power in Congress to give victims a platform.Many women who still consider themselves Democrats are out there fighting, uniting with Republicans to pass legislation, like Jamie Reed, a former gender clinician who now goes state to state, ensuring bills protecting children from “gender affirming care” are passed.Those the Left shunned and exiled for speaking inconvenient truths are also out there fighting, like Jennifer Sey, who has launched a clothing company called XX-YY Athletics, which celebrates female athletes and points out the differences between the sexes.Here is their latest ad.And then there are the parents who are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore.Outspoken Detransitioners like Chloe Cole and Prisha Mosley have given a face to the destructive effects of social contagion.There are even many in the gay and trans communities who understand cultists have hijacked their movement, and many of them are out there fighting too./// This is a public episode.

In this week's episode we're back with our recaps of The Handmaid's Tale. In its final season, we will recap each and every episode. This week we are recapping episode 609 and 610 of the series. Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.              Host: Angelica Monk and Stacey Yvonne Music by: Sammus Edited by: Jamie Broadnax

A good rule of thumb is that whatever Margaret Atwood is worried about now, the rest of us will likely be worried about a decade from now. The rise of authoritarianism. A backlash against women's social progress. Climate change leading to social unrest. Advertising permeating more and more of our lives.We originally released this episode back in March 2022. But just like Atwood's work, it somehow only got more relevant with time. Atwood is the author of at least 17 novels, including the classic “The Handmaid's Tale,” as well as 20 books of poetry and nine collections of short fiction. When we spoke, she'd just published an essay collection, “Burning Questions.” And she has a new book coming out this fall, “Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts.”Mentioned:Art & Energy by Barry LordBook recommendations:War by Margaret MacMillanBiased by Jennifer L.
