đž Rage Mode: Activated! National Day of Protest is HERE
- U.S. on a Democracy Watchlist: Civicus downgraded the U.S. civic space to ânarrowed,â citing Trump-era crackdowns on peaceful protest, independent media, and student activism. Translation: America is now on a list usually reserved for authoritarian regimes.
- Epstein Files Fight Heats Up: Senate Democrats invoked a rare legal maneuver to force full release of Epstein grand-jury files, exposing how few law enforcement witnesses have been unsealed. Accountability smells closer than Trumpâs golf course cologne.
- Climate Policy Gutted: Trumpâs EPA is moving to repeal the âendangerment finding,â the backbone of U.S. climate regulation. Itâs like ripping the brakes off a car hurtling toward a cliff because âfreedom.â
- Media Monopoly Alert: The Trump-friendly FCC approved David Ellisonâs $8 billion takeover of Paramount. Say hello to more propaganda and less independent journalism.
Featured Resister: Womenâs March
From the 2017 tidal wave of pink hats to todayâs full-force feminist organizing, Womenâs March is back on the frontlines with the August 2nd National Day of Protest. Their âRage Against the Regimeâ rallies are rolling out nationwide to fight authoritarianism, defend civil liberties, and keep womenâs rights front and center. In Tampa Bay? Theyâve got you covered with the Pinellas County march.
Todayâs To-Do List
- Show Up August 2nd: If youâre in Florida, hit the St. Pete protest at 34th St N & 22nd Ave (near Samâs Club) from 10:30 AMâ12 PM or Tampa at Curtis Hixon Park 10am -1pm.
- Pack Smart: Water, snacks, a hat, sunscreen, and your loudest sign. Leave your ego at home but bring all the rage.
- Boost the Signal: Share protest info online using #RageAgainstTheRegime and tag @WomensMarch.
- Support the Cause: Donate to Womenâs March and volunteer for local feminist organizing.

Kittyâs Rallying Cry
Listen up, furballs of freedom: August 2nd isnât just a protest dayâitâs a line in the sand. The regime wants silence, obedience, and fear. Weâre giving them noise, defiance, and claws. Whether youâre marching in Tampa, DC, or your own backyard, show them what democracy looks like when itâs done in heels and combat boots. Stay loud. Stay safe. Stay dangerous.
