“He doesn’t have a lot of respect for women. We might as well be handmaids.”
That was the feeling among of a group of Orange County residents who, as they gathered to mourn the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, also found themselves in shock and fearful of how Donald Trump might fill her seat.
In that spirit, 50-60 O.C. residents gathered at the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and US Courthouse in Santa Ana on Saturday for a vigil, but also to protest. There were kids, teens and adults, about 10 of whom dressed as handmaids from Margaret Atwood’s novel that became the Hulu series The Handmaid’s Tale.
“By next January, we’re all going to turn into Handsmaids,” said one of the event’s organizers, Lulu Hammad, who is founder of co-founder of Yailla Indivisible.
Hammad said that on Friday people she spoke with were “very sad and shocked that we lost RBG.” But, “the reason that we’re coming together,” she said, “is that all the women that I spoke to [on Friday], I heard terror in their voices.”
So they gathered up costumes that had been made for a 2017 post-election event and took to the streets. Little did they know how prescient the move was.
The event consisted of activists and also kids as young as 5, 6, plus some teenagers. They heard a speech from Farrah Khan, the Irvine City Council’s first Muslim member.
“She set the mood,” said Hammad, “reminding us who RBG was and that we shouldn’t despair; She left us with tools and we should continue the fight.”
Other people, including Hammad, spoke as well. There were candles, flowers and readings of quotes from Justice Ginsburg.

Well said.
Females jerks
Where do these people come from and how do we get rid of them ?
Conservatives don’t treat women like this, muslisms do. Take it up with them.
Is it always Halloween for these folks?!
Good. At least they’re not destroying cities playing mock dressup.
And gals doing this, no one wants ya anyways, you’re not at risk forunwanted pregnancies. Admire your misplaced optimism though.
Yup.
Not a good look for Rosie O’Donnell.
Didn’t they break any balloons filled with red liquid to signify their menstrual flow?
Leather thongs and pasties would be better.
Ah...a vigil! The symbol of American snowflakes’ favorite outdoor sport: public fake grieving, tears, supermarket flowers, candles and teddy bears. ’
They might as well dress up as Star Wars, or their favorite Disney characters for their vigil. It would be no less ridiculous.
What is wrong with these retards?
Trump’s nominee should wear that costume to the hearing, and say that Democrat insults have reduced her to the status of Handmaid to Marxism. :)
They live for political street theater as it gives them a sense of accomplishment without any real effort.
Not a lot of people understand what this means
The ones who aren’t too old to get pregnant are either too unattractive or too neurotic,
