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.

Emergency powers are being normalized, not questioned. We need a campaign to repeal or reform the laws enabling this.

Tariffs have become unauthorized personal taxation, creating billions in discretionary funds. This is executive overreach in plain sight.

@rbreich.bsky.social
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.

10 Key Alert for No Kings Day.
No Kings Day must evolve from symbolic protest to strategic resistance/we need a roadmap, not just a rally.
The President is using federal funding as a weapon punishing opposition & rewarding loyalty.Where is the coordinated state-level pushback?
October 16, 2025 at 7:15 PM
@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.
October 16, 2025 at 7:12 PM
@rbreich.bsky.social Together, these branches have abandoned their constitutional roles & transformed our democracy into something unrecognizable: a system without accountability, without transparency, and without justice.
October 16, 2025 at 7:11 PM
@rbreich.bsky.social
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.

@rbreich.bsky.social “When All Branches Fail, the People Must Roar”
Our democracy is being reshaped—not by law, but by silence. The executive branch weaponizes undocumented people, as pawns in acts of violence and discrimination against citizens and communities.

If Europe & US like to continue to ignore the exports of critical products to Russia by Western companies using joint ventures & subsidiaries & third parties entities. All those products should have extra export duties, making them expensive @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social @antoniolscosta.bsky.social

The Current President has said twice that they will reduce the deficit with multiple failed scenarios, but no plan how to do it. In the 2016-2020 the debt was up $8 trillions plus with higher rates @rbreich.bsky.socia @www.theguardian.com @vanhollen.senate.gov

Working people are being frauded by their own Government poor return on Social Security/Medicare funds invested on US BONDS. The GOV choose not to tax the upper income for S.S./Medicare @rbreich.bsky.socia @www.theguardian.com @vanhollen.senate.gov
May 20, 2025 at 4:55 PM
Each year the Gov BUDGET includes S.S./Medicare because it already used the workers' contribution to pay Government expenses. This happen because the richest people avoid taxation @rbreich.bsky.socia @www.theguardian.com @vanhollen.senate.gov
