Dr. Hilary Agro, PhD 🍄 @hilaryagro.com · 27/01/2026As a Canadian, what I've learned so far: - Minnesotans are very nice and VERY organized - Mainers are aggressively xenophobic but in a way that lCE will not like - Philadelphians crave the blood of their enemies - LA is ground zero for chaos tactics that never lose - New Yorkers love gay hockey 401427299
stevewarren209.bsky.social @stevewarren209.bsky.social · 27/01/2026We Mainers are very independent and pretty much indiscriminately xenophobic to "people from away", including "Masshole" drivers and rich folk. And we're especially unwelcoming toward feds who come in to stomp around and disrupt our peaceful lives. 1151

Sean Kearney @kearfacts.bsky.social · 27/01/2026As a resident Philadelphian, this is correct. And thank you for the compliment. May we forever clamber up the greased street lights of justice!! 0101
Stevie Hate @steveeboy.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Yeah, Philly sitting around just wishing for it... Waiting. And Philly saying "this is not going to go well for them." 070
Surprise Floof (she/her) @surprisefloof.bsky.social · 27/01/2026This is pretty accurate. I'd also add that politicians =/= DC, especially the Trump administration. The regular residents of DC & the surrounding suburbs are very diverse & liberal. 161

Schrödinger cat's toy @goldplatedspork.bsky.social · 28/01/2026In Philly we threw snowballs at Santa and curb stomped and decapitated a friendly little hitchhiking robot. What would they expect when something we dont like came to town ? Like say Gestapo thugs for example. 051
Kate @k8c.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Okay I'd like to submit all of these cities love gay hockey. Minnesota would love Zohran Mamdani for governor. But these are the pickiest of nits and I love this thread. Thank you for the laugh. 241

Rachel Van Patten @southpaw73.bsky.social · 27/01/2026This Californian simultaneously does not want the ICE/CBP horrors inflicted on anyone else & desperately wants their dumb asses to FAFO in Philly.
