The Republic is in ruins. What happens when "no kings" means no compassion? This is the story of the battle to rebuild American democracy from the rubble of political cruelty. The sound of a nation crumbling echoed not with war, but with the wrecking ball that struck the East Wing of the White House—a physical and symbolic blow against the heart of our governance. We're tracking the thousands of slow assaults on decency, the quiet genius of a new authoritarianism that occupies our institutions, and the moral crisis that transforms compassion into weakness. But this collapse may also be the beginning of rebirth. Join Jackalyn Rainosek, PhD in today’s episode as we name the mechanisms of destruction and unveil the "No Kings" movement—a peaceful rebellion that proves the people still rule, and that the law can, and must, once again be king.
