So we have gotten a record snow fall here in south Alabama. While it's no big deal to Yankee defectors like me, so many people here have never seen snow before.

My daughter just pointed out that, according to the White House's gender definitions, we are all female.

Went out for a short walk. None of the neighbor kids have ever seen snow before.

Trump's new order says everyone's gender is now based on the sexual reproductive cells you could produce at conception.

At conception, the zygote cannot make *any* reproductive cells, so technically no one has any gender at all anymore.

You're welcome.

A snippet from Marc Elias’s newsletter:

“ Donald #Trump is not clever. He is not smart. He is not playing chess or even checkers. He was the kid who stewed over the fact that he lost at tic-tac-toe. He is just a particular type of liar who excels at giving his supporters the lies they want.”

Reupping: I laid out a LOT of what would be in Jack Smith's Volume Two. Cannon claims there's a lot more that hasn't been released (but she's misrepresenting that DOJ said they would redacted a lot). It sounds like there's a lot of surveillance footage. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/19/f...

Newsmax's Judge Napolitano says #Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship is "a very troublesome thing he wants to do," adding "if he can nullify that portion of the Constitution, what else can he nullify."

Capitol police should resign en masse.
I know that's not an easy thing, but how do you continue to work for people who don't value your life? I couldn't do it.
Private security should be a booming industry right now.

Snow on the Gulf Coast. Just enough to remind me why I left the north.

@dukepaaron There is no ethical framework that could justify such actions from an individual who claims to have morals.

Among the #ExecutiveOrders #Trump signed today was an order restoring the federal #DeathPenalty — although President #Biden commuted the death sentences of all but three of the prisoners who were on the federal death row. Trump’s order also #mandates the use of the death penalty in any case where someone is convicted of murdering a law enforcement officer [unless it’s Brian Sicknick apparently] or if an #undocumented migrant is convicted of a crime that is eligible for the death penalty.

I don't remember the last time I stayed up this late, but Ohio State is making it worthwhile. Go Bucks!

What the fuck is going on in #Australia right now?

A preschool was firebombed with the message "Fuck the Jews" spray-painted on a wall nearby

#Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder short-circuiting the #security clearance vetting process for his White House staffers. Anyone on a list submitted by his White House counsel is to “immediately” be granted a Top Secret/Secure Compartmented Information-level clearance good for 6 months.

Nancy Pelosi calls Trump's Jan. 6 pardons 'an outrageous insult to our justice system'

...she called his actions "an outrageous insult to our justice system and the heroes who suffered physical scars and emotional trauma as they protected the Capitol..."

"It is shameful that the President has decided to make one of his top priorities the abandonment and betrayal of police officers who put their lives on the line..."
