What does this mean and what is it for?

[quencher]

I found this tie and it does not look like a school one. Google translate does not make sense. Now the power is to you Mn.

It's a novelty tie for sale online. It means 'Don't let the bastards get you down'

Don't let the bastards get you down!!

Found it for sale there

I thought it translates (very loosely) to ‘don’t let the bastards grind you down.’ Could be way off though.

It’s merchandise from the book/series “The handmaids tale”, it’s not a real language iirc, but the above translation is what the author of the book claims it means in the story.

I hope the person it belonged to bought it. It absolutely cheered me up as I am throwing away their things.

I couldn't make this up.
