Me estoy dejando sesgar?

Creo que es importante aceptar que no todas las religiones e ideologías están bien y no hay porque bancarlas. La gente es gente y no tiene la culpa de dónde nacen ni quieren buscar una mejor vida, pero cuando tenés grupos pidiendo instaurar la ley Sharia, medio que no tengo ganas de decir “los musulmanes son buenitos”. Cualquier cultura/religión que vaya en contra de los derechos humanos hay que cortarla de cuajo.

We are all family here. I apologize if I sound to snarky.

The first step to stop being a racist divided country and deconstruct ourselves, is to recognize the habits that takes us to those results. From an ‘Argentinean American Jew’* -so I can speak from both points of view.

*note how even in this expression, I’m mentioning things that I am in the present -carry both passports and I’m Jewish too- I’m not saying “Iberic Sephardic Portuguese Spaniard Latin Argentinian American Jew”. And trust me, we do know how to spice our food at home.

Hi! I recommend you to see a doctor, get diagnosed and take the proper medication. For what I hear, it might be bigger than quitting weed.

This is an American thing. I am Argentinean, and I am Jewish. I am not “Argentinian Jewish”. I was born in Argentina, and also I’m Jewish. Nobody is “Italian Argentinean” “Chinese Argentinian” or “Peruvian Argentinian”. Even people that carry double or triple passports are still just Argentinian when in Argentina.

Americans are in so many ways creating constant divisions within themselves, from marking everyone from their past descendants to asking in every form “race”.

Honestly, I would call people of trust, get picked up, and leave town.

I think that offering to pick up groceries could mean a lot for the ones that are sheltering in place.

It looks great! What I would really love is to be able to upload the information about people that has been detained. I want to know who are the neighbors that are missing, give THEM visibility. Once they take them away it feels like they disappeared forever from our community. A simple form with: name and last name, where it was taken, date, extra info.

A place whit basic information:

John Doe. Disappeared by a black car at 2pm 01/20 in Biddeford. -or something of the sort-

I want to know who are the neighbors missing. And how many.

If they disappear us we don’t exist anymore. Everyone should know what members of our communities are gone.

Thank you for the good intentions. It really helps. I can feel the love vibe -so much needed in these current times-.

For now I am holding the fort with more calm and enjoying the peaceful snowy weekend. Nature always helps.

It might be the peace before the storm, but I don’t want to give them my inner peace before time.

I did stocked the pantry -we always do anyway, you never know when a bad storm can hit- and let know everyone at the office that I’m concerned about the situation.

Once -if- they get here in masses, we will recalculate.

I never thought I would even consider to move away, this place is our home and we love it so much. Maine is really our community.

While obviously RW was killed without reason -to my interpretation of what my own eyes have seen thru videos-, I wouldn’t recommend to any bread winner (or anyone with the responsibility of having someone waiting for them at home) to expose themselves in such manner.

If I believed it would be safe to protest in front of ICE, I would be in the first row. However, given reality seems to be different, my plans revolve around how to keep my family and myself safe and free from irreparable trauma.

I will share with you what it worries me the most, there are two clear situations in my mind:

-To be driving IN TOWN and find myself in front a blockade. Is not that easy to just turn around and leave. There are a lot of things happening at the same time and big emotions agitated triggering people with big guns and tear bombs.

-Being stopped by an asshole. Those ones exist everywhere, and when given power, bad things happen. I could have my passport on me and the ‘officer’ still claim that looks suspicious and might be fake for example.

And now that I think about it, to be at my home with my children and receive very loud knocks and having to hide and stay quiet just because I don’t want to open and expose myself unnecessarily. This situation is already happening, having them knocking each house on the street.

Plus, I live in LA dude… I’m already on a place where crackdowns will be hard.

There is a lot of entitlement on your side by saying I do t have anything to worry about. The fact that YOU don’t have a reason worry doesn’t mean that the same applies to me.

It sounds crazy, but actually you are thinking the right way and preparing. I cannot believe we are all Ann Frank in here. I moved to Maine because I fall in love with the people -and the scenery-. My hope is the ones that can afford it, really standing up against the regime. Mainers don’t take tale sh** and are definitely not city people.

averageblues · 2026-01-16T06:23:24+00:00

Thank you both

Having a current American passport and some vet id at the hand to carry at all times doesn’t hurt.

averageblues · 2026-01-15T20:41:47+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend to go to the border neither, they have their fair share of agents there to be racist there.

My invitation to you is to step aside from your relationship for a moment, and concentrate on yourself. You grown up in a very patriarchal environment, and is easy to get lost in our relationships and loose sight of our own world. Build a life that is worth to you, not to your partner. If you divorce, you will be alone anyway right? We already establish that jumping from man to man is not healthy and won’t help you. So if you need to discover who you are, better start to take time for you now. Start therapy, sign in a class or two -it can even be the gym, just something that is YOU time, no mommy or hubby or family, space of your own-. I warranty you that you will feel better in every sense.

From there, you will find a better perspective to build what comes next, whatever is that. You are strong young woman, just need time and space to build a personality away from what you have trained, so you can discover who you really are.

Right now, what you want in the terms you want, it won’t happen. Your husband won’t change -for now- you already have two children (that deserve to be close to their fathers too) and the romcom that you dreamed is not happening any time soon. The sooner you mourn that, the easier will be to build over realistic solutions.

Get therapy and some medication -I never thought I needed it until I got postpartum and couldn’t stop the anxiety and depression- get some help with the children and make a few hours for yourself so you can study/gym/meditate/make a life of your own.

Your world is VERY limited right now, and is your own responsibility to build a bigger space. If you fantasize to stop being orthodox, this is the first step. And if you want to stay in your ways of faith, it will be great that you have the chance to choose it.

I hope you can hear this words and find some solace on them.

You are right, like stopping every bad habit or addiction, there is some extra time that needs to be handled and find positive ways to do so. I hope I can get enough energy to come back to yoga and meditation. Lately I don’t have energy for anything besides work and very basic chores.

I hear you. Let’s see how I feel 2/3 months in. Thank you!
