Week 28 Resistance Wins

🧨 We Took to the Streets—and Took the Narrative Back 🐾

While Trump spent Week 28 autographing tariff tantrums and fantasizing about mailroom fascism, we were organizing, marching, yelling, and flipping his red-capped dystopia the double paw. Here’s what the resistance clawed back last week—fact-checked, feline-approved, and 100% fascist-free.

1. We Got Louder: 400+ Cities Prepped for August 2 Protests
The “Rage Against the Regime” protests blew past expectations—what started as a 50-city event turned into a nationwide earthquake. Over 425 cities confirmed rallies. That includes everything from downtown marches to courthouse sit-ins to mutual aid pop-ups. Why August 2? Because it’s Vice President JD Vance’s birthday, and we love throwing him a flaming bag of democracy.

2. Indivisible Is Back and More Savage Than Ever
The OGs of Trump-era resistance—Indivisible—roared back to life. Over 1,200 new chapters relaunched this summer, bringing their national count to nearly 2,000. They aren’t just screaming into the void—they’re running campaigns, disrupting hearings, and training new organizers. Think of them as the PTA moms of political insurgency, but with spreadsheets and war paint.

3. July 18 “Good Trouble Lives On” Marches Spark Civil Rights Firestorm
Inspired by the legacy of John Lewis, “Good Trouble” rallies exploded nationwide on July 18, drawing tens of thousands to the streets. The message? Trump’s fascism doesn’t get to erase decades of civil rights progress. Protesters blocked ICE vans, crashed police contract hearings, and handed out voter registration forms like candy. And no, they didn’t ask permission.

4. “Hands Off!” Campaign Still Punching Back
The Hands Off! movement that kicked off April 5 is still swinging. Week 28 saw mutual aid stations pop up in 18 new cities, and several chapters disrupted local votes to cut reproductive care and trans healthcare access. These aren’t just feel-good slogans—they’re tactical wins that blocked policy rollouts.

5. Strategic Chaos Is the New Normal
Week 28 marked a turning point: we’re not just reacting anymore. We’re coordinating, planning, and outmaneuvering. Every protest is now a pressure point. Every sit-in is a soundbite. Every chant is a lawsuit in the making. This is Resistance 2.0—and it’s meaner, smarter, and ungovernable.

Featured Resister: The Women’s March

Still kicking ass, still marching forward. The Women’s March crew helped coordinate over 300 local August 2 protests, led safety trainings, and launched a legal defense fund for protest-related arrests. Their motto? “You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.”

Resistance Kitty’s Final Meow

Week 28 proved it: the resistance isn’t dying—it’s evolving. Our side doesn’t need tear gas and executive pens. We’ve got the numbers, the networks, and the nerve. Trump can sign orders all day long—but we’re signing up voters, storming streets, and turning rage into revolution.
