🎯 1. Federal Judge Blocks Loyalty Audits in 9 States
Meow-velous news from the bench: A federal judge in California granted an injunction halting enforcement of Trump’s EO #109-P “Workforce Security Vetting” in nine states. The court ruled the loyalty audits likely violate the First Amendment and due process. Translation: You can’t fire someone just because they joined a protest or shared a spicy meme in 2020.
🎯 2. Major Tech Firms Resist Internet Kill Switch EO
Several major telecom and cloud providers — including one very large fruit-themed company — have publicly refused to comply with EO #111-P’s “emergency override” for digital platforms. Their legal teams are ready to sue under Section 230, and a digital civil liberties coalition filed a restraining order within hours. Score one for the nerds.
🎯 3. Planned Parenthood Launches Mobile Clinics in “Ban States”
Planned Parenthood isn’t waiting for permission. They rolled out a new fleet of discreet mobile health clinics bringing abortion access, gender-affirming care, and STI services to “ban states.” It’s healthcare on wheels, backed by a growing fund of local resisters. The fascists can try to shut down brick-and-mortar — but they can’t catch us all.
🎯 4. Veterans Protest EO Targeting Medicaid — and Win
When Trump tried to gut pandemic-era Medicaid coverage, he forgot one thing: Vets vote. A coalition of disabled veterans held a weeklong sit-in outside the Capitol, and several GOP senators are now “reconsidering” their support for EO #110-P after photos of missing wheelchairs and protest tents went viral. Meow to that moral backlash.
🎯 5. School Districts Tell EO #113-P to Shove It
Despite threats from EO #113-P, dozens of school boards in New York, Illinois, and Oregon refused to pull civic education curricula. Instead, they doubled down — releasing joint statements defending the right to teach the truth about race, protest, and civil rights. Resistance starts in the classroom, and these educators aren’t backing down.
🎯 6. Florida Tent Supplier Boycott Takes Off
After it was revealed that U.S. Tent Rental is supplying gear for Florida’s new “Alcatraz-style” immigrant detention center, activists launched a digital boycott. Thousands flooded review sites, their Google rating tanked, and multiple wedding venues dropped them. Turns out, supporting concentration camps isn’t great for your event business.
🎯 7. Indigenous Land Defenders Stall Border Militarization Project
In Arizona, a coalition of Indigenous groups and land defenders successfully blocked bulldozers attempting to expand surveillance infrastructure under EO #107-P. They chained themselves to equipment, filed emergency environmental suits, and made national headlines. Resistance is ancestral — and it’s fierce.
Resistance isn’t just about outrage — it’s about outlasting them. And this week, the kitties clawed back some serious ground.
