The Steady State
@thesteadystate.org
MAGA survives on the politics of inversion: oppressors become victims, diversity becomes hatred, civil rights become discrimination, & cruelty becomes courage. Authoritarian movements don’t just lie about reality; they reverse it, turning accountability into persecution, and inclusion into threat.

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

Hillary’s 2016 National Security Address reads like a prophecy. She called his ideas “dangerously incoherent… a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.” In 2026...

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

If any administration’s DHS can violate court orders 96 times in one state without consequences, then court orders become suggestions, not law.
Judge Crenshaw told DOJ and DHS officials: stop talking about Abrego Garcia in public in ways that could poison the jury pool.
The question is not “Can institutions handle Trump?” We already saw the answer: only barely, and only because some people inside the room resisted him. Dr. Gartner raises the point that those people are gone.
35 retired federal judges are asking the court to reopen Trump’s dismissed $10 billion IRS lawsuit, stating “...this ‘case’ that the parties purport to have ‘settled’ is itself a fraud on the Court.” zurl.co/nNm4I
Autocrats believe due process is itself a sham. That is why they assume and expect sham trials. The J6 myth depends on pretending these were sham prosecutions. But as McFarlane notes, not one case was overturned. None. And DOJ had a 100% jury conviction rate at trial.
Washington Walk& Talk: A massive Trump portrait on a public building is not just unusual; it is an authoritarian-style signal about power, loyalty, and who government is supposed to serve.
The public deserves competent health leadership. Instead, key federal health posts are vacant, and the ones that are filled include RFK Jr. Dr. Oz, a penile-implant specialist in the infectious disease chain of command and a non-scientist acting FDA commissioner. This is a crisis of competence.
The government is promoting the “rededication” of the United States to God, which collapses the line between private religion and state authority. They don’t get to define national belonging in religious terms. It’s exactly what the First Amendment was designed to prevent. #holdfast
Steady State’s Jim Petrila nails why Keepseagle is the wrong precedent. It involved Native American farmers, decades of USDA discrimination, a bipartisan waiver from Congress, a class action settlement, federal court oversight, and appellate review.
Comey’s question is the right one. If DOJ is creating a taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization” fund with “no partisan requirements,” can Comey apply? Letitia James? Mark Kelly? John Brennan? Adam Schiff? Andrew McCabe?
Republicans want mid-decade gerrymandering — rigging maps outside normal redistricting cycles — to lock Democrats out of power permanently. Virginia’s ballot measure fights back. Vote YES to protect fair elections. Polls close April 21st. #VirginiaIsForVotingYes
“The next time we have that power, we need to use it, not for the special interests as Republicans have done but in service to the American people.” Fmr. AG @ericholder.bsky.social implores Democrats to use future power to pass legislation banning partisan, racial gerrymandering among other reforms.
The Chair of the House Agriculture Committee can’t even tell me how many veterans in his district lost nutrition assistance thanks to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill… …and now he has the audacity to try to lock in those cuts for 5 YEARS?!
Soo. Es gibt wieder etwas Wald und Feldfahrt Entspannung, sogar im Sonnenschein. Die Botanik ist wirklich imposant, obwohl es noch zu wenig Wasser gibt von oben. Ein Glück kenne ich die Feldwege. Jeder andere würde sich verfahren. Hihihi

I wish she would just be honest and admit that she wants to date sugar daddies for the rest of her life. I would respect her more for that instead of playing it off like “I am so ready to be financially independent.” It’s so obvious she really doesn’t want to do that, and that’s fine. But own it!!!

As Trump plans his redneck celebrations, builds monuments 2 himself & demands his face b put on our currency, the people of this country struggle 2 survive. We’re headed in2 an existential crisis because of trumps hubris & ineptitude. It won’t b gas alone. EVERYTHING will get HIT. Get Ready #Iran
We can reduce rents, fund education, and guarantee single-payer healthcare for all Californians. To do so, we need to raise taxes on corporations and billionaires. I'm the only candidate with a plan to get it done.
