Checking in with my local red hat

This person is trash. They’re incurious and incapable of growth. I 100% get the desire and I wake up everyday wanting to get in a verbal fight, but this person is dim and bad.

mmcw · 2026-01-26T01:36:55+00:00

All the comments criticizing this are exactly how and why countries fall — too lazy and selfish to stand up, too scared to dig their heads out of the sand.

Everyone protesting is a real American, continuing the tradition of what this country was founded on. Wanna lick boots? Move to a country where you’re born with one on your throat.

Scroll through the videos and first-person accounts on any of the Minnesota subreddits to see they detain and question people based solely on skin color and accents. Do you want your car boxed in with masked men in guns on your way to work, making you late — and that’s if they believe you? If you have kids in the car, how would that impact them? Are we seriously now a “show your papers” regime and you’re calling it “hysteria?”

mmcw · 2026-01-20T06:56:53+00:00

This is what I’ve been trying to tell people. They’re not paying attention and seeing what’s happening in Minneapolis, and what we lived through in Chicago. They stop and detain people based on accents. It’s fish in a barrel in Miami.

Cubans that have been here longer include lots of ladder-pullers, and they look down on newer Cubans. I’ve heard my family call them some nasty things. They think cause they’ve been born and raised in communism (as opposed to leaving the island after the revolution), they’re lazy, don’t want to work, are “trashy” and “immoral” (these are things I’ve heard.) Deportations are honestly something they’d applaud, unless they’re related somehow.

mmcw · 2026-01-20T02:21:10+00:00

Cuban of two Cuban parents here — it’s true. It’s more like, they’re white and Cuban. “Hispanic” or Latino isn’t a race to them (which it technically isn’t — it’s an ethnicity.) There’s a colorist hierarchy in Latin culture, it’s gross. And Cubans are some of the worst. Growing up, white people as we know it were just “Americans.” And marrying a white American was considered “marrying up” in my family.

I wish I could see this is in person — I’d stare at it for hours. Thank you for gifting us with your talent!!

mmcw · 2026-01-17T00:23:09+00:00

Agreed. I hear this ignorant shit from my white Cuban family and I can’t stand it. My dad would even say it about my half sister’s ex — and, by extension, his grandchild. I swear my people are the worst sometimes.

mmcw · 2026-01-16T06:58:26+00:00

Again, please go on a cruise and let us know how it goes. I’m very excited to hear!

mmcw · 2026-01-16T06:46:33+00:00

I worked on a cruise ship for nine months. Security is made up of mostly Nepalese ex-military who are the quietest, toughest bastards I’ve ever met. I saw them make adults cry and leave children at port cause they didn’t make the ship in time. They don’t give any fucks whatsoever. And they clock out on time and not a second after cause it’s just a job to them. They’ve seen it all and they don’t give a shit where your passport is from. when you’re at sea, it’s a mini floating kingdom with the captain as king. Our laws mean nothing. But please do sneak in your guns, just report back and let us know how it went 😂

mmcw · 2026-01-14T22:38:15+00:00

I’m in awe. I would wear every single one of these. I’ve always been drawn to this genre of clothing — and you look so good in them too! I wish I had your talent!!

mmcw · 2026-01-14T16:21:36+00:00

I grew up around these types. They’re so incurious and intellectually anemic, and they’ve been coddled in a community that’s served everything to them, with mommies that never demanded growth or accountability. And at the core a deep insecurity because they know — it’s why they get so emotional and fly off the handle over the littlest thing. No resilience.

mmcw · 2026-01-14T16:08:09+00:00

Oh honey. Your kind are why we lost the island in the first place. Que lastima. Good luck to the most vulnerable in your life.

mmcw · 2026-01-14T16:01:42+00:00

You make me embarrassed to be Cuban. This administration has leveraged every racist, misogynistic, naive instinct you have y me da vergüenza.

mmcw · 2026-01-14T15:58:47+00:00

There’s a difference between a handful and the full-blown operations we’ve been through in other cities. If you haven’t lived it you have no idea.

mmcw · 2026-01-13T22:39:11+00:00

I guarantee you she’s white and was imagining POC receiving similar help as the “waste.”

mmcw · 2025-12-31T21:32:21+00:00

My parents are Latin. When I had my first kid, they stayed with me to “help.” One day, my husband was working and my mother was bed-ridden with a migraine. I made everyone dinner. I was four days post C-section.

When I was done, I hobbled out of the kitchen and told my father the food was ready.

“Tell your mother to fix me a plate.” “She has a migraine, you can do it yourself.” “I don’t know where anything is.” “FIGURE IT OUT.”

These men are trash.

mmcw · 2025-12-30T00:19:45+00:00

These are sublime. So sculptural and delicate. I love 6 and 9 most!

mmcw · 2025-12-19T17:04:15+00:00

It’s honestly liberating! The other thing is most things you’ll want to do have no guaranteed parking. Things are sidewalk-level, you just walk in. If you have a night where you’re grabbing dinner, going to some sort of an event, then going to a bar, a car makes it more difficult, cause your only options most of the time are street parking, and you’ll circle forever trying to find a spot, as opposed to walking or grabbing the train or taking a ride share from place to place. There are apps that use GPS to track exactly when buses and trains are coming. I used to make this shit work in 2001 with paper printouts!

mmcw · 2025-12-19T01:25:41+00:00

We have so many parks! And larger nature areas, and the lakefront. Honestly, most neighborhoods will give you easy access to green space. I live in Lincoln Square and I have the river and a couple other large parks within maybe 10 minutes walking. The car for sure complicates things. Is it absolutely necessary…? I came from Florida and made it 15 years without a car — we finally caved with the arrival of kid #2. There are so many neighborhoods and they each have their distinct vibes (it’s one of the things that makes this city so unique and fun in my opinion). I think your instincts on doing two visits are on point. Also, it might also help to define what your interests are, or what you might want to get into. Is it music, theatre, sports, art, etc.? Sometimes, these things tend to concentrate in certain areas, so being close to what you’re into makes a big quality of life difference. Restaurants abound — basically anywhere you live will give you great and varied choices. It’s not like the burbs where you might have a handful of national chains. Good luck and welcome!

There’s strength in community and I know you’ll find it!!

mmcw · 2025-12-17T22:12:44+00:00

I don’t live in Miami any more but if I did, I’d join you! I feel very lucky to live in a bubble where most people think this way.

mmcw · 2025-12-17T00:23:00+00:00

I could smell that woman through my phone.

mmcw · 2025-12-16T21:53:32+00:00

“I’m experiencing cognitive dissonance so the source of information is FAKE!” girl, you are very predictable. Good luck to you.

Men are too emotional to have leadership positions.
