You're expressing a deep concern about the erosion of democratic accountability and the alleged use of undocumented individuals as tools of state violence and discrimination—while all three branches of government appear complicit or silent.

@rbreich.bsky.social No Kings Day must deliver more than slogans. Where are the legislative demands? The legal challenges? The civic education campaigns?
If we don’t define the next steps, authoritarianism will. The time for vague outrage is over. We need leadership with vision.

The public is mobilized, but directionless. Without clear demands, we risk becoming spectators to our own erosion of democracy.
We need a national call for state governors to defend their constitutional authority—or explain their silence.

Congress has surrendered its constitutional power of the purse, and governors remain silent. Why aren’t we demanding they act?
The Supreme Court’s shadow docket is shielding authoritarianism, yet our movement has no legal strategy to confront it.

@rbreich.bsky.social If the institutions won’t speak, the people must. Loudly. Relentlessly. Strategically. No Kings Day must be more than a ritual—it must be a reckoning. We demand clarity. We demand action. We demand a return to the rule of law, not the rule of one.

The judiciary, led by a Supreme Court that hides behind the shadow docket, allows these abuses to stand, offering no explanation & no defense of equal protection. The legislature, oversight & the power of the purse, watches as its authority is stripped away by bit & by bill.
