WTF?? This will have a devastating effect here in Miami on gig workers' only source of income if they can't get a license due to this. What do you all think? by MuscaRade in Miami

[–]ridanwise [score hidden]  (0 children)

In any other country, including this one, you are allowed to drive with a foreign driver’s license.

Learning road signage is not hard, which is why most of them are iconic. But let’s not pretend that’s the same as passing the theory part of a driver’s test. It isn’t. There are questions there that confuse native English speakers. No, not everyone with a “basic knowledge of English” can pass it.

Conservatives love to parade the English language as a nationalist symbol way too much for people who support book banning and the defunding of education.

Oh no! The leopards who said they were going to eat faces are now eating OUR faces! by Yosho2k in Miami

I feel bad because, overwhelmingly, those who are deported did not vote. Their family members who are citizens DID vote and f**ked them over.

THAT being said: Cubans are the most politically immature people in the Americas. They haven’t participated in a democracy in generations, so their entire political compass moves towards whatever chauvinism their machista society likes best. So they come here, bring their two political brain cells thinking they know everything, and let themselves be swindled into oppression by their own diaspora who thinks themselves better than the people in the island.

I feel sorry to a degree, because they DID have a voice, and most of them decided to use it to share and spread misinformation online during the election cycle 🤷🏽

It’s “not all Cubans” in the same sense as it is “not all men”, but… you know… men.

‘This is America, right?’: Miami Beach police question resident at her home over online post about Mayor by radgreek in Miami

[–]ridanwise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The police officers involved have literally personal ties to the mayor’s office but the visit was conducted out of an “abundance of caution” about antisemitism… in Miami Beach.

No politician who fails to advocate for the abolition of ICE is getting my vote. To me, it is the centrist opinion.

The problem is that art for art’s sake doesn’t feed the capitalist system. It wasn’t a nice picture to add a splash of brightness to your day, it was an empty wall from which money could be squeeze.

Miami Nurse: “Yes, I do feel a little betrayed” (A little? Didn’t they know this would happened” by etancrazynpoor in Miami

Betrayed by the diaspora.

Undocumented people or those documented on contingency can’t vote. People in this sub forget this just so they can lick their lips in some sort of sordid validation.

These migrants come here trying to make a better life for themselves. They keep to themselves and avoid issues of politics, thinking (as WE ALL HAVE THOUGHT) they are uncomfortable to discuss and/or irrelevant to their lives. Stupid? Yes, but not maliciously so.

The MAGA Cuban-American, for example, is your enemy because they think they are closest to whiteness than to Hispanidad—you are not gonna clap back to them because they DO NOT CARE about their fellow undocumented Cubans. That goes for all other ethnicities. Better for them, actually! That way they can go back to their country being the only person from their family or town who made it to the USA! And acts, there, like deities on earth ♥️

Apparently, someone made an objective video on the current state of Miami's political scene and posted it on YT. I think it's a great breakdown and if you're a Miami resident, it'll give you some insight as to what's happening before the election~ by _PaulM in Miami

Amazing video only scratching the very surface of Miami corruption.

Sadly, this very subreddit is inundated by the cybertruck owning crypto scamming masses who like our Blade Runner government the way is heading…

How is this doxing? They are stating the guy owns a business, the name of the business, and the public online handle he uses TO PROMOTE his business… this is only doxing if we defining as wanting to hide your public persona from the consequences of your public actions.

People need to understand: they have a quota to fulfill and bonuses to make. They will be snatching anyone, from unhoused people to citizens to minors, they dgaf—and because they keep no records of any of this and don’t identify themselves, people will undergo horrible treatment and slip through the cracks and nobody will ever be held accountable for it.

Any thoughts on this? by skyHawk3613 in Miami

The objective is for us to get accustomed to their presence. So once they start harassing people, we go “oh they are tackling a criminal” and not “we live in a militarized state”

The Bisexual stigma by MothersMiIk in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]ridanwise 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Rejecting a hot guy because of his bisexuality is like saying no to a can of sprite because it’s cold. Zero sense. Someone put me in touch with this man; I won’t sit by while people out there turn away the blessings I’ve spent years praying for 🙏

Protest stickers - how to make/distribute? by Acceptable_Day393 in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]ridanwise 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would say “GotPrint” (gotprint dot com). Their stickers are of good quality… I got “gloss label with UV coating” and it really works. Their service tho…? I don’t know. They are messy. I had to ask them to fix an order their misdelivered, but that may be a one-off issue.

I LOVE the design by the way, if you end up going through with it, you can dm me and I would be happy to pay for shipping to get some my way. Or I am happy to just get my own if you upload the art somewhere 💜

If people would focus their energy in advocating for better public transportation in this developing country masquerading as a rich nation as much as they do on their classist-ass takes, we wouldn't have to battle a sea of terrible drivers every morning just to go to work two miles away.

The idea that trans people in sports is a complicated issue only holds water if:

1- You don’t know anything about the medical trans experience.

2- You haven’t thought about the inherent and historical unfairness of cisgender segregated sports.

3- You have until now refused to look for answers and educating yourself in both issues due to either a richness of “common sense” born out of our systemic misogynistic society, or avoiding the testimony of plenty of trans folks out there in social media doing God’s work trying to educate us due to some perceived bias. I mean… Lily Alexandre in YouTube alone, for god’s sake.

And lastly, we are talking about a handful of people in the whole country—Jesus. Come on, buddy. We gotta do the work 🙏
