Dictators gonna Dictate… We do not have to listen
Cashless Bail Crackdown
On Aug 25 Trump signed orders directing the Attorney General to punish jurisdictions that ended cash bail and to force pretrial detention in Washington, D.C. This is federal overreach into local justice systems and a direct attack on bail reform.
Flag Burning Criminalization
The same day, Trump ordered the Justice Department to prosecute anyone who desecrates the American flag and to seek a court case challenging the Supreme Court’s 1989 ruling that flag burning is protected speech. Civil liberties groups called it blatantly unconstitutional.
Militarizing D.C. and Flexing Dictator Vibes
Trump gave the Defense Secretary and Attorney General authority to override local policing and deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C. He even bragged that “maybe Americans like a dictator.” This is authoritarian cosplay at its most dangerous.
Union Busting on Labor Day
On Sept 1 Trump ordered several federal agencies, including the Patent Office, to cancel collective bargaining agreements, framing it as “national security.” Translation: a direct attack on federal workers and unions on the very day meant to honor them.
Featured Resister: Civil Liberties Defenders
From the ACLU to grassroots free speech advocates, resistance groups are mobilizing against Trump’s assault on the First Amendment. They’re preparing lawsuits, public campaigns, and on-the-ground organizing to stop these executive orders before they shred constitutional rights.
Today’s To-Do List
- Share news of these unconstitutional orders—spread the word about bail reform, free speech, and union-busting attacks
- Support groups like the ACLU and labor unions fighting these executive overreaches
- Call your representatives—demand congressional oversight of Trump’s reckless executive power
- Educate your circles: remind them flag burning is legally protected speech and authoritarian stunts don’t change that
Rallying Call from Resistance Kitty
“In just seven days Trump tried to criminalize protest, crush bail reform, militarize D.C., and bust unions—purring about dictatorship while he did it. These claws of his aren’t strength, they’re desperation. Our claws are sharper, stronger, and built for justice. We will not bow to cosplay kings or wannabe dictators. We roar, we fight, we win.”
