A few rays of sunlight penetrated the curtains of a tiny, dingy studio apartment. There were tall stacks of moving boxes against one wall. Two women lay together on a couch in their pajamas. Their hair was unkempt and their faces were haggard. One was sketching in a notebook. She was sketching a portrait of the other woman, who was scrolling on her phone, watching videos clips on Bok Bok, a video sharing platform.

“Ophilia, my love.” The woman drawing said. “You’ve spent the last three days on Bok Bok. Just… put the phone down. I’m worried about you. You haven't slept or ate or done anything. The move is coming up. I know the things happening in our country have taken a toll on your mental and emotional health but… we’ll be out of here soon. You have to stop doomscrolling at some point and focus on the good things ahead of us.”

She set her notebook aside and hugged Ophilia. Ophilia put her phone in her lap and hugged her back.

“Asher, I’m sorry but I can’t put my phone down. I can’t ignore what’s happening! Yes, we’re moving and yes, things will be better but what about everyone else who can’t leave?” Ophilia’s voice broke and she started sobbing. ”What about all the women and children we’re leaving behind to suffer? I know there’s nothing I can do but it just kills me inside to see that this shit is actually happening. Like, we must be living in some sort of fucked up alternate dystopian timeline! I fucking hate how powerless I am. How powerless all of us are against this fucked up system. I fucking hate how I’m just running away!”

“Babe…” Asher let out a big sigh and stroked Ophilia’s messy hair. “I completely agree, the things happening are absolutely awful. Things have been getting worse and worse the last couple of years. It seems like every few weeks some program that helps women and children is getting defunded or one of our rights is being taken away or some stupid law is being passed to control us. I mean…” Asher let out another sigh. “All we can do is leave. We have to take care of ourselves first and get out of this country. It fucking sucks that millions of women and children are suffering-”

“I’m sorry. Please stop.“ Ophilia interrupted Asher. ”I’m way too angry. Just, please leave me alone for a while. I hate this country, I hate our President, I hate all the rich and powerful cunts that are doing this to us. I hate all the people like us that do nothing and allow this to happen. I hate all the people that voted for this. I want everyone who is supporting this to die, they are shamelessly allowing crimes against Humanity to happen. I hope even worse laws pass and they get a taste of their own medicine.”

“Ophili-”

“PLEASE.” Asher said and started sobbing again. “...I just don’t want to talk right now. I’m sorry. I need to do my own thing. Just respect my decision and leave me to doomscroll.”

Asher gave Ophilia a gentle kiss on the forehead and went back to her drawing. Ophilia continued to scroll on her phone.

“Hello beautiful people, it’s your favorite drag news reporter, Chrystal Methany from Channel 69 news.” Chrystal pauses and takes on a somber expression. They take off all their drag attire.

“This is now Chrys and we have some serious news. This week, over 200 million people across the country have been protesting the new set of laws that were put into effect by Dumpublican President, Johnson Dump. These series of laws, titled ‘Give Unmerica a Baby Boom Again,’ specifically targets women AND children. These laws are ‘a precautionary measure due to the birth rate dropping and Unmerican family values rapidly declining.’ Since Dump came into power three years ago, the birth rate has dropped dramatically, going from 54.4 per 1000 people to 0.04 per 1000 people.”

*scrolls*

The video shows a woman was sitting in her car, crying. “I’ve had fears about being a mother but I’ve never felt fear like this before. I have three girls and after hearing the laws that were just passed… I’m so scared for them.” The woman heavily sobs. “I’m too afraid to let them out of my sight. Like what the actual fuck has happened to our country, our society, our moral values?”

The woman paused and looked into the camera, ”Child marriage is now legal and the age of consent have been removed.” She gave another long pause, ”Rake and SA have been decriminalized.”

She shook her head and held her face in her hands. “Like what the fuck?! How mentally deranged do you have to be to think this was a good fucking way to bring the birth rate up?! Why are so many people in this country ok with rake and SA of women and children??”

*scrolls*

“Johnson Dump is the stupidest leader we’ve ever had in Unmerica. Instead of providing benefits and incentives for families, mothers and children, he’s been progressively taking benefits and freedoms away and he’s blaming the dropping birth rate on women! Our country, society, economy and even our neighbors have become extremely hostile towards women and YOUNG GIRLS as a result of his actions. What’s even more concerning is that a large portion of the population just dumbly agree with him!

Dump’s solution to force women to have children by any means necessary is the most idiotic and inhumane thing ever heard of. He is turning women and girls from humans who are finally gaining rights into breeding factories with absolutely no rights. We need to collectively take action. We need to do a French Revolution and overthrow these disgusting men in power.”

*scrolls*

“Buckle in everyone. Here are the Give Unmerica a Baby Boom Again Laws:

SA, rake and domestic violence are decriminalized.
ALL child marriage laws have been abolished. So child marriage is now legal…
All age of consent laws have been abolished.
All abortions are federally illegal. This even includes cases of rake, incest and medically necessary abortions.
All pregnant women are required to be registered on a ‘Pregnancy Protection List’ and must submit to wearing a smartwatch 24/7 that basically monitors their every move and their vitals. So basically an ankle bracelet for pregnant women. We are now turning pregnancy into a prison sentence.
Women who miscarry or who have stillbirths will now be charged with third degree murder.
The sale of items such as condoms, spermicide and Plan B pills is now banned.
The possession of certain herbs and vitamins that are used as ‘natural birth control’ is illegal.
Publishing, distributing, and sharing information on ways to prevent pregnancy or to induce a miscarriage is illegal. Any persons or entities found spreading this information will face fines and jail time.

We’re not even halfway done; it gets so much worse. Please swipe right to see part two of the Give Unmerica a Baby Boom Again Laws. I need to take a moment.”

*Ophilia swipes right*

“Here is part two of the Give Unmerica a Baby Boom Again Laws:

All women are required to complete a monthly fertility survey to remain eligible for employment. Women who are not fertile, will not be eligible for employment.
Men and women have separate wage guidelines, guess what? Wages for women are 50% less than men’s wages. It’s written right here in the bill, plain as day for everyone to see.
If a woman wants to make a major purchase over $1,000, they will require a male signature.
All girls, let me repeat that, ALL GIRLS who are over the age of 14 and unmarried are required to attend bi-weekly ‘Wife and Motherhood Training classes…’ Which are essentially conversion therapy classes to groom young girls into thinking that being turned into a mindless slave and birth factory for men is okay.
All women over the age of 21 who do not have at least one child will be sent to a ‘Women’s Reformation Group.’ Women’s Reformation Groups ‘strives to keep Unmerica’s families strong by helping relocate them with the most compatible male who is seeking a wife.’ This is literally trafficking… our government is now trafficking women as a ‘solution’ to the declining birth rate and the male loneliness epidemic! Oh, it gets even worse. Here’s the next one:
All unmarried women over the age of 25 who have not had at least two children will be sent to ‘Women’s Fertilization Care Facilities… where ‘specialized doctors will assist women with in vitro fertilization and collection of eligible eggs to be used for the population regrowth efforts.’ So basically, women will be forced to become pregnant and have their eggs harvested. They have no choice.”

A skit between a citizen and the President plays.

Citizen: “Mr. President! There's a male loneliness epidemic and our birth rates are plummeting! What should we do?”

Mr. President: “Alright we need to fix this. Let's encourage men to rake women and children."

Citizen: “...uh whAT?”

Mr. President: “We’ll decriminalize rake and SA, make child marriage legal and we’ll remove that pesky age of consent rule. Babies for everyone!”

Citizen: “uh, um…”

Mr. President: “We’ll then limit the unnecessary things women can do, like work and buy things and having rights and bodily autonomy. They don’t need those things, they’re just a uterus. The only reason they exist is to please a man and make babies. If they don’t want to, we’ll traffic them and force them to marry a random man. Boom! Male loneliness epidemic solved!”

Citizen: “I BEG YOUR PARDON?!”

Mr. President: “Don’t worry guy. If the bitch still refuses to give us babies after we gave them to a perfect, loving husband, we’ll kidnap them, force them to become pregnant and harvest their eggs. We’re getting babies no matter what it takes!”

Citizen: *jaw drops*

Mr. President: “Relax, it’ll be ok. We’ll brainwash little girls into thinking this is normal so the newer generations will just accept this as normal.”

Citizen: “This is violating human rights on so many levels! We cannot-”

Mr. President: “Alright, the bill is signed and passed! Male loneliness epidemic and birth rate solved. Man, I am the greatest President ever! I deserve the Noel Piece prize for being such a great person.”

Citizen: “FUCK NO! YOU DON-”

Mr. President: “I’m doing God’s will over here. I’m even better than the Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King and Jesus Christ himself. I’m basically the second coming of Christ withl all the people I’m helping.”

The video shows an aerial view of Freattle, Warshington. The camera then cuts to the Cosmic Nettle. The streets are packed with people for miles. As the camera zooms in, it looks like everyone is sitting in neat and orderly rows. In front of the Cosmic Nettle, is a stage where a group of female police are standing around three professionally dressed women of color. One of the women on stage speaks.

“I am the Governor of Warshington State. With me are the Freattle Mayor and the Freattle City Police Commissioner. We came here today to lend our support to the women and children, human beings we vowed to serve and protect!”

The crowd roars. The Governor handed the microphone to the Freattle City Police Commissioner.

“Freattle! Our women and children are having their rights taken away by a tangerine who seeks to take their rights away, enslave them, control them, and turn them into breeding factories. Women and children of Freattle, we will protect you! We will not allow anyone to kidnap you, traffick you or to do anything against your will. We will drive out any Women’s Reformation Groups that try to set up in our city. We will shut down any Women’s Fertilization Care Facilities that try to take root here. We will resist! We will protect! We will bring down this patriarchal, misogynistic tyrant!”

The crowd roared even louder. The Commissioner handed the microphone to the Freattle Mayor. “Pardon my unprofessionalism.” She cleared her throat. “Fuck the Baby Boom laws, fuck this administration, fuck our President and fuck everyone supporting this bill.” Thunderous cheers and applause shook the city.

“We will continue to protect our citizens and keep real criminals locked up. We will not recognize any of these laws. I’m calling upon people in power across the country, in every single city and town. Business leaders, police, mayors, governors, Senators, Representatives: protect our country’s women, protect our country’s children, protect our country’s-”

A young man who hosts a popular talk show is interviewing an older woman. The woman is a retired CEO of a multi-billion dollar company.

Young man: “On your Y account, you recently made a post stating ‘Our fearless leader is doing everything within his power to protect our population. We must accept, stand united and stand strong. Let us all Give Unmerica a Baby Boom Again.’ How can you still support our President after all the laws he just passed that take away the rights and freedom of women and children?”

CEO: “Well, our population is declining. Our young women aren’t having children and it’s alarming. I mean, they’re off doing selfish things for themselves and they’re not being responsible. Our population is suffering due to them dodging their duties as women. Who else is going to replenish the workforce or take care of the aging population?”

Young man: “The birth rate has declined rapidly over the last three years. It is currently at 0.04 per 1000 people. It actually decreased ever since Dump became President and has sharply declined each time a benefit, assistance program or right has been taken away that helps families, mothers and children. Don’t you think the decline is due to all the support being taken away rather than women just being ‘selfish and irresponsible?’”

CEO: “Absolutely not! There are plenty of ways to successfully raise a family today. Just get a job and be smart with your money. There is absolutely no need for anyone to be relying on government assistance. It’s all just a bunch of bologna! The younger generation of women have become so lazy and entitled. They’re always looking for handouts. They need something to motivate them to be a contributing citizen.”

Young man: “Do you think these laws that make rake, SA, trafficking and forced pregnancy legal are a good way to motivate women? Do you support women and children being forced into pregnancy? Do you REALLY support all these laws that are taking rights and freedom away from women? That take away their bodily autonomy, turn pregnancy into prison, miscarriage into a crime?”

CEO: “Well, I mean. We’re facing a population decline here! Sometimes drastic times call for drastic measures. We need to strengthen our country and workforce-”

Young man: “So you support these laws that encourage men to rake and SA women and children. You support a woman being kidnapped by the government and trafficked to a strange man where she’ll have no rights, no escape and will be forced to become a slave.”

CEO: “Look, what else is going to motivate women to start families again? Logically, this is the only way-”

Young man: “STOP. Just stop. You are dancing around the question and coming up with excuses. I need a yes or no response.”

CEO: “I’m just trying to explain-”

Young man: ”Yes or no. Do you support the Give Unmerica a Baby Boom Again Laws?”

CEO: “Well. What else are we supposed-”

Young man: “It’s a simple yes or no-”

CEO: “You need to stop interrupting me you misogynistic little twa-”

Young man: “Misogynistic?! You support women and children having their rights taken away and being turned into slaves and breeding factories!”

CEO: “I never said I supported it!”

Young man: “You’re not denying it either! DO YOU SUPPORT THIS BILL? It’s a simple yes or no question! Just give me a one word response! Yes or No?”

CEO: “Due to the circumstances of this country-”

Young man: “YES OR NO?”

CEO: “Fuck you, you pig! I wish you were a woman so you could suffer like all the rest of the cattle feed out there!!”

Young man: “I’m not doing this interview anymore.” The man stands up and walks off. “Get this piece of shit out of here. What a disgusting piece of shit.”

CEO: “Excuse me?!” Two security guards come to escort the woman. “Keep your hands off me you filthy immigrants! I’m going to sue the shit out of all of you! We are facing a population decline and our younger generations are being poisoned with all this woke crap on the internet. We need to bring another Baby Boom to Unmerica again because all you kids are lazy pieces of shit that want everything handed to them-”

A video shows a man with pink hair and a blue beard sitting at a table in front of a garage filled with guns. He is cleaning and loading one of them.

“We as a society have come so far in creating equality, equity, inclusion and justice. It’s just baffling to see that we are regressing and taking away protections from women and children. We’re basically creating a paradise for men to run rampant and do whatever they want without any consequences-”

“Hello, I’m the Prime Minister of Niceland. We understand that the living conditions and freedoms in Unmerica have been degrading over the last few years and there is a new bill that will further impede the rights and protections for children and women. The government of Niceland has decided to extend citizenship to any Unmericans who wish to escape. The conditions? Well, you will have to move to Niceland. That’s it.

Universal healthcare, college and childcare are included in your citizenship. We offer 24 months of parental leave for mothers and fathers, $300 monthly allowance per child to help pay for expenses and our educational system is considered #4 in the world so your child will receive the world’s best education.

We have a basic universal income of $1,500 a month per household and if you want to work, you can meet with our career placement specialists who will assist you in finding a job that will work you 30 hours a week max. All jobs are required to give yearly cost of living increases and you’ll be forced to take 38 days of paid time off per year. Awful, ain’t it?

Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s 100% true! The government of Niceland actually knows how to take care of its citizens and doesn’t treat them as less than human. We care about what is happening in the world and cannot stand to see what is happening in Unmerica. This is just Phase 1 of the ‘Remove Unmerica from Existence Plan that the United Nations has enacted.’ Anyone who does not leave will see the effects of Phase 2. Trust me, it will not be pretty and there won’t be much of an Unmerica left.

So, what are you waiting for? Become a citizen of Niceland today!”

“An organization called The Welcoming Committee has gone viral over the last few weeks after posting a video of members bulldozing the houses of known government officials who support the new Baby Boom Bill. Their boldness has inspired many people across the country to take action and do similar things.

The Welcoming Committee is a group whose aim is to ‘welcome any foreign powers to take over Unmerica.’ They believe that the President and most of the governing body of Unmerica is no longer fit to run the country and we should be occupied by a ‘wiser country who knows how to take care of its people.’ They started just under two years ago and have rapidly gained members.

The largest congregation of The Welcoming Committee is in Porkland, Oregano, with over 850,000 members. Yesterday, the Porkland Congregation held a protest where members re-enacted a scene in the movie Independence Day. Members dressed in spacesuits and alien costumes and held signs saying things such as ‘Please, take me away’ and ‘make yourselves at home.’”

The whole world is baffled about how something so extreme and so stupid has even been passed. We are supposed to be working towards providing rights for everyone, creating equality and equity for women, educating and caring for the next generation. We are supposed to be advancing towards a better civilization!

Instead, we are allowing ourselves to be ruled by a primitive dictator whose only goal is to let the rich, white men turn our country into their playground. We are turning women into breeding factories, twisting the minds of our children and oppressing anyone who opposes-”

A live video shows an enormous crowd of millions of people slowly and peacefully marching through the streets towards a large, ornate building in the distance. The Governor of New Hampster is leading them, chanting into a megaphone, “WE ARE NOT YOUR BREEDING SLAVES!”

“WE ARE NOT YOUR BREEDING SLAVES!” Millions of voices echoed.

“WE WILL IMPEACH BEFORE WE BOW!” Said the Governor.

“WE WILL IMPEACH BEFORE WE BOW!” The crowd chanted.

They were met by a thick wall of SWAT, military, police and tanks. The flood of people came to a halt. Both sides stood still for a few moments, waiting for the other to make a move.

A young girl then came out of the crowd and took the megaphone from the Governor. The young girl said, “Help us.”

People then came out of the tanks and hung upside-down flags on their turrets. One by one, starting with the back row, the SWAT, military and police turned around and started proceeded towards the ornate building. Military vehicles and police cars beeped and sounded their sirens. All vehicles moved to the sides of the crowd to make way for them and to protect them.

Several military helicopters hovered above the great crowd. A voice said, “WE WILL IMPEACH BEFORE WE BOW!”

The millions of people roared, “WE WILL IMPEACH BEFORE WE BOW!”

“WOMEN ARE HUMANS THAT DESERVE THEIR RIGHTS!”

“WE WILL BURN BEFORE WE TURN!”

“DOWN WITH THE PATRIARCHY!”

“MAKE UNMERICA FREE AGAIN!”

"IMPEACH THE TANGERINE!"

“VIVA LA REVOLUTION!”

Ophelia, with tears in her eyes, looked up from her doomscrolling because the ground started to rumble. She and Asher jumped up and looked outside from the balcony on the 27th floor of their building. They stared in awe as the great wave of people slowly came their way. Asher shouted in joy, grabbed Ophelia’s hand and pulled her inside.

“Get ready! We’re going down!” Asher said as she rushed to get her shoes and coat.

Ophelia paused for a moment. “What? Why?”

“Because individually, there’s not much we can do. But if we band together, we can accomplish so much. Look out there! There are MILLIONS of people actively doing something to bring change. And not to be eavesdropping, but it sounds like most of the people on Bok Bok want to bring change also.” Asher held Ophelia’s hands.

“Viva la Revolution.”

More tears filled Ophelia’s eyes and she said, “Viva la Revolution!”
