Bets on how long until the USian head of state latches onto this as his new reason to invade Canada?
BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

...okay, one, no you're not "somewhat stupid" you giant archivist and research nerd??? And if twinks look normal (as in the default) I have so many questions about your life
I'm crying 😂
Right on cue. This is looking like it's going to be the American Reichtag.
Okay but like.... is this closer to himbo or like twink? Is it out geoup flavored pejorative bc Jews are short?

Loser Mike Johnson hopes we forgot about extending ACA tax credits while he was on Christmas vacation.
Let’s make it very clear how wrong he is:
Wow. This is some pretty next level twisting of the law. I hope the courts can slow this down.
In broader community, there is a lot of holding my breath / feeling crazy, and limiting my time there. Judgement and hostility.
I'm grateful Seattle has a strong #CC community, which keeps me sane. But it's not big enough I can replace a housemate spot quickly, or find anything for my sequins NYE.
Listen, I have had long debates about whether the sad alarm clock from that one Yiddish children's book is a fascist and it is fascist apologia 😂
This is why I love yiddish culture tbh
At some point Hankus talks about needing to know the litvak vs galitz style of certain songs and how they're played, as an important bit of hospitality - (paraphrasing) 'it's like if you have someone from Alabama at the wedding, you gotta play Sweet Home Alabama!'
Me: Ah yes, Reb Lynrd Skynrd
Today's #YNY2025 shitpost so far:
In Susan Watts online class about the Hoffman tunebook recently compiled by her, Hankus Netsky, Dr (! When did I miss that) Hannah Ochner, Ilana Kravitz. She's got video interviews she did w Hankus about these tunes for historical context.

With the force and quirkiness of Baba Yaga, also in the chicken feet hut which is running away into the woods while she directs it at you through the window

Ouch, that #SpinelessSpeaker Johnson quote.
