Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

Excitingly, we've had our first X-class solar flare of the year: it was incredibly long-lived and full-halo'd (we're making up words over here), and most importantly, Earth directed.
It's measured at X 1.95, and is expected to make landfall between 00:00-6:00 GMT 26 Jan.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

This is truly obscene. If my parents were alive today, having been around during World War II, they would be beside themselves with anger and grief. These are our allies. We are challenging our own allies? If this regime isn't removed or impeached immediately we are going to experience catastrophe.
