Week 17 Resistance Wins - Resistance Kitty

🐾Victories, Vetoes, and the Courts That Bit Back

While the regime tried to tighten its grip this week, resistance movements clawed out wins in courtrooms, communities, and cultural spaces. From SCOTUS smacking down fascist deportation plans to grassroots collectives rising up in real time, here’s what we’re celebrating.

⚖️ SCOTUS Blocks Trump’s Alien Enemies Deportation Scheme

In a 7–2 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s plan to deport Venezuelan migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act with just 24 hours’ notice. The Court upheld that due process still applies—even when fascists scream “emergency.”
A brutal regime just got told: read the damn Constitution.

🚨 Unanimous Ruling in Police Brutality Case

In Barnes v. Felix, SCOTUS ruled unanimously that courts must consider the totality of circumstances in excessive force cases—not just the moment an officer pulled the trigger. This slams the brakes on years of conservative attempts to shield violent cops.
The blue wall? Cracked.

👶 SCOTUS Side-Eyes Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Attack

The Court heard oral arguments on Trump’s executive order to gut the 14th Amendment and restrict birthright citizenship. The justices looked skeptical—very skeptical—especially when forced to consider tossing 100+ years of legal precedent.
No ruling yet, but the regime felt the heat.

📚 Resistance Through Art: PEN America’s Festival Strikes Back

Authors, artists, and activists gathered this week for the World Voices Festival, calling out censorship, state violence, and global authoritarianism with stories that hit harder than any press release.
