𧨠We Took to the Streetsâand Took the Narrative Back đž
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. Hereâs what the resistance clawed back last weekâfact-checked, feline-approved, and 100% fascist-free.
1. We Got Louder: 400+ Cities Prepped for August 2 Protests
The âRage Against the Regimeâ protests blew past expectationsâwhat 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 itâs Vice President JD Vanceâs 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 resistanceâIndivisibleâroared back to life. Over 1,200 new chapters relaunched this summer, bringing their national count to nearly 2,000. They arenât just screaming into the voidâtheyâre 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 âGood Trouble Lives Onâ Marches Spark Civil Rights Firestorm
Inspired by the legacy of John Lewis, âGood Troubleâ rallies exploded nationwide on July 18, drawing tens of thousands to the streets. The message? Trumpâs fascism doesnât 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 didnât ask permission.
4. âHands Off!â 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 arenât just feel-good slogansâtheyâre tactical wins that blocked policy rollouts.
5. Strategic Chaos Is the New Normal
Week 28 marked a turning point: weâre not just reacting anymore. Weâre 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 2.0âand itâs meaner, smarter, and ungovernable.
Featured Resister: The Womenâs March
Still kicking ass, still marching forward. The Womenâs 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? âYou mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.â

Resistance Kittyâs Final Meow
Week 28 proved it: the resistance isnât dyingâitâs evolving. Our side doesnât need tear gas and executive pens. Weâve got the numbers, the networks, and the nerve. Trump can sign orders all day longâbut weâre signing up voters, storming streets, and turning rage into revolution.
