Stephen Miller calls MN protests a “national security priority.” At the same time, the adm is pushing to elevate “antifa” into the National Intelligence Priorities Framework, historically reserved for groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda: a reprioritization of intel resources toward domestic dissent.

If the state takes you into custody, it takes on a duty of care. CBP knew Alam was nearly blind, disabled, and alone in a strange city. They abandoned him at night outside a closed restaurant. He died. The ME says homicide. No agency that does this should call itself a “border protection” force.

1/3 ICE is being redesigned. They cut its training academy from 72 to 42 days, slashed hours on the Constitution and use of force, and even removed firearms safety and protest-rights instruction. youtu.be/caMbyFyy_OM

Trump says once we “leave” Iran, gas prices will “rapidly come back down.” We’re already paying more than $4 a gallon thanks to his “excursion.” Do you believe him? #HoldFast

Civilian control of the military is not supposed to mean “friends of the Secretary of Defense get their own flyovers.” #holdfast

Trump rejects a federal judge’s ruling that congressional approval is required for WH construction. Read the ruling yourself, compare it to the claims, and hold leaders accountable to the Constitution, especially when they suggest they can act outside of it.

1/ “Blasting Iran into oblivion” and “back to the Stone Ages” is an open threat to bomb civilians (a war crime). Trump appears to be making this decision without a congressional declaration, even as he refuses to call this a “war,” though his language here makes clear that’s exactly what it is.

The 14th Amendment says “all persons born in the United States,” not “only if Donald Trump likes their parents.” Trump calls it a scam, but that’s the Constitution!

zurl.co/Fx1Mg The structure of the “Ice Gulag” is currently supported by all three branches of the Government. Opposition must target all three aspects: apprehension, detention, and removal.

Young Americans put service before self. Their families show up to honor them, and our government greets them with intimidation. zurl.co/CxT5y

The president seems to forget NATO is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one. #holdfast

Trump calls France “VERY UNHELPFUL” because they wouldn’t let him use French skies to move weapons into another conflict zone. In his worldview, allied sovereignty only exists when it serves U.S. escalation.

Senator Warner expresses that “foreign interference is no longer the most pressing danger to our elections. It is increasingly evident that the greatest threat now comes from inside our own government.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/o...

This is a blueprint for chaos, not diplomacy, as Trump continues to alienate and embarrass us on the world stage.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf calls out Trump’s attempts at market manipulation: “If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long,” he said. “You know the drill.” When will Congress step up to finally put the brakes on this grift? zurl.co/3GerB

Against a backdrop of Trump threatening to “take the oil,” hinting at seizing Kharg, and timing Iran announcements around market hours, the Hegseth news is not an isolated ethics lapse. It looks like an administration that treats war, oil and markets as one integrated portfolio. zurl.co/KFDm9

Important Stuff to Know About: Building the ICE Gulag: Part 3, Detentions by James Petrila open.substack.com/pub/steadyst...

zurl.co/xcTqN Like many an authoritarian, Trump is unilaterally putting those below him, in this case the military, who would be ordered to carry out this mission, at risk of prosecution. But, to him, a lot of this war is ‘just for fun.’

Chris Christie is right. I worked alongside + know many of the people forced out of the #FBI. They were doing their jobs, nothing more nothing less. I agree that these actions are the single most damaging thing to the long-term stability and Independence of the DOJ and the FBI. @thesteadystate.org

Sen Paul asserted Trump should not have initiated armed conflict with Iran without congressional approval & faulted Congress for failing to check the President. A complacent Congress enables an authoritarian president, consequently diminishing government of, for, and by the people. zurl.co/yAGYd

Threatening to wipe out an entire country’s electricity and water systems as “retribution” is collective punishment against civilians who have zero say in Trump’s war. There is nothing “lovely” about it. It's also a war crime.

1/ Mark Polymeropoulos, Steady State member and former CIA officer, argues on MS Now that letting Iran influence who represents the U.S. would be a concession, explains Iran prefers J. D. Vance because of his skepticism of the war, and... youtu.be/GkoejxcJ8Mc?...

Retaliation works; this chart proves it. But so does documentation. Use Inspectors General, AG-approved procedures, and protected channels. The obligation to report crimes is mandatory; the courage to do it is what keeps the system from tipping over. zurl.co/oxDoR

The War Powers Resolution isn’t limited to declared wars. It applies whenever a president introduces U.S. forces “into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances,” and keeps them there.

Major General Randy Manner (Ret), explains that Hegseth’s words are that of a war criminal coming from someone who, as someone who was kicked out of the D.C. National Guard, has no qualifications to be the Secretary of Defense.

I was proud to protest in Seattle yesterday. I drew encouragement from the crowd. Now lets work together to get out Blue voters for the November midterms. Seat a Congress that will resist the executive's unconstitutional actions.

That's a lot of troops for an "excursion."

zurl.co/8Eskp This hollowing out of the U.S. role as the leader of the free world has been signaled openly for a decade now; we are simply experiencing the inevitable, despite MAGA’s unrelenting and misleading propaganda otherwise.

Trump thinks he can dodge the Constitution with a thesaurus. But it’s not the 4D chess his supporters think he’s playing. He’s just admitting he’s breaking the rules in plain English. #HoldFast
