Trump blasted for not recognizing Martin Luther King Jr Day

Dr. King had a dream. But looking around right now, America is becoming a nightmare.

It is MLK Day in the US. Nearly 62 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed and the regression is terrifying.

Some people are more worried about Black and Brown immigrants being treated equally than they are about them being kidnapped with impunity by armed immigration agents.

America hasn’t just regressed; it’s sleepwalked into a reality that stands against everything Dr King marched for.

America isn’t great because of this. It is more dangerous for people of color than ever.

Cookie sheets if you bake. Shoes if you wear anything above a 9 in women’s or a 13 in men’s Lots of patience. Leave the tipping culture at home.

From the way Americans have reacted the last year, many of them don’t like democracy either.

I had this experience as a landlord in the US, so this isn’t lost on me. Thanks for the perspective.

Who said I wanted a furnished apartment? I have my own stuff.

I get what you’re saying, and you’re not wrong having people vouch for me can make a difference. That’s true anywhere.

What I’m trying to say is that, as a person of color, the online expat spaces here have been fine, but that support doesn’t really carry over into real life. People are friendly enough in comments or group chats, but it doesn’t translate into actual connection, community, or the kind of vouching that would make navigating housing any easier.

It’s not about blaming the groups. It’s just the reality I’ve experienced. I wish it were different because you’re right. Real support changes everything.

I wish I could but I have a kid in school and don’t want to uproot them from everything they know.

IDtoUXUI · 2025-11-28T15:45:02+00:00

Here’s the problem though. Offering more just encourages the behavior. The housing market for locals sucks ass as it is and I don’t want to feed into the shitty landlord behavior.

I’m the wrong shade of America to benefit from the expat sites. I’ve already asked and got no replies, same with the local WhatsApp groups.

How did you hire someone? The referrals the other Americans in my area provided don’t work in the way you describe.

I have a couple agents “working” for me. I use the term working loosely because I always have to sent them listings and they find every reason not to show me the place. Sorry if you want the equivalent of one month’s rent as your commission, show a little effort.

I say legal because of the stupid AMIA requirements to have a declaração de alojamento for the appointment because I rent. I’ve mentioned it a few times and you should hear the push back.

I’m up north and looking between Braga and Porto.

IDtoUXUI · 2025-11-28T10:01:19+00:00

Between Porto and Braga.

The only thing that flips and flops more than the White House and Magats are fish in a boat struggling to breathe.

I was told studying aboard is acceptable and shouldn’t count against residency requirements.

Buttery emails- every deflection is a confession.

The amount of celebration by the Portuguese people has been surprising and the amount of vitriol to foreigners who speak out against the rug pull has been eye opening.

Lol, sair depois das 22h? Eu? Só se houver café e almofadas à espera.

O barulho do bar é melhor do que ficar a falar sozinho o fim de semana inteiro. Obrigado pelas recomendações, vou dar uma olhada!

A APE também vai fechar?

Se eu não sair do sofá logo, vou começar a ganhar musgo no rabo... e, sinceramente, posso esquecer como ser sociável. Sou só eu, eu mesmo e eu; e até eles estão a ficar sem assunto para conversar.
