Resistance Wins Week 13

🐾“We Clawed Back Some Justice, Baby!”

Welcome back to your favorite round-up of democracy’s sharpest claws and fluffiest fighters. It’s Week 13 (April 13–19, 2025), and the fascists fumbled while the resistance rumbled. Here’s what we won, wrecked, or wrangled into submission this week.

🧨 1. Federal Judge Slaps Down Trump’s “Instant Deportation” Order

Trump’s EO trying to fast-track mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act? Yeah, that one got partially blocked by a federal judge who remembered what the Constitution is. The court ruled that detaining legal residents without due process is, surprise surprise, unconstitutional. Expect appeals, but for now—score one for civil rights.

👉 Pro tip: The ruling doesn’t stop ICE completely, but it slows them down and gives legal teams more ammo. If you’re undocumented or know someone who is, connect with rapid response legal teams in your area now. This isn’t over.

🪧 2. Wildcat Strikes Disrupt Military Supply Chains

Dockworkers on both coasts staged “unscheduled maintenance days” (wink wink) and refused to load military transport ships. Their quiet-but-powerful act delayed shipments of crowd-control gear and riot tanks heading to domestic bases. The regime called it sabotage—we call it solidarity. No arrests. No firings. Just union strong.

👉 Support the unions doing the work. Donate to strike funds. Bring water to picket lines. If you’re in logistics? Check your brakes—twice.

🧹 3. “Operation Cleanup” Exposes Fascist Sheriff’s Dirty Money

Citizen sleuths in Georgia dropped receipts showing Sheriff “Law-n-Order” McTavish was funneling COVID relief funds into a private militia training compound. Local press took it from there, and now state investigators are very interested. Meanwhile, community orgs are calling for his resignation.

👉 Inspired? FOIA requests are your friends. Local corruption is where fascism breeds—shine those lights and bring your friends with flashlights.

Final Scratch:

The regime wants us scared, silent, and scattered. But this week? We were loud, united, and effective as hell. Keep showing up, keep throwing sand in the gears, and keep reminding them: they may have the tanks, but we have the numbers—and the claws.

With fire and fluff,
