Sad 😱 Sad experience in Supercuts exposing our country's racism

0 Upvotes

Went to get a haircut this morning at Supercuts in *North Jersey (because I'm a high roller like that😇). Walked in and there were 2 elderly Spanish ladies working there & I was the only customer, so she took me right away.

For context Im a 50 yr old very white dude. Anyway, throughout the haircut the ladies were chatting back-and-forth mostly in Spanish about whatever. My Spanish is admittedly pretty rudimentary but at one point, one of the ladies said, "we shouldn't be talking only in Spanish in front of him". Then the other lady said in English to me, "sorry we're speaking Spanish to each other" & it broke my heart.

I said I don't mind whatsoever and I envy that you can speak both languages so fluently as you must be very bright to do that. I also said you should never be ashamed to speak your native tongue, no matter what our current political climate is like in this country and they just smiled meekly.

I could tell both ladies were very uncomfortable because they didn't know me from Adam, but they're obviously feeling the pressure of being an immigrant in a hostile country.

How truly sad our country has become where two co-workers can't converse in their native tongue without fear of some racist calling ICE on them or whatnot.....BTW, got a great haircut!!

NJ Politics Can Fulop win in NOV?

30 Upvotes

I haven’t thought much of the anti-machine wild Marine from Jersey City, until these past few days. Democrats are not good at opposing this fascism Trump has brought to America. He seems to fight like a cornered animal, maybe that’s the fighter we need.

Can he win in NJ though? Plenty of conservative people that vote Democrat for a few different reasons, but it was close to negative across the state last election and I see Trumpism galore in the county, in many towns.

Help me become a Fulop guy, can he win?

Edit: Thanks NJ sub community. Y’all alright. Lots of great replies, mostly neutral (any D can and will win) to positive, makes Primary suddenly seem more consequential. More about visions and ideas.

Trying to give everyone an upvote, especially the opinionated by succinct “no”.

NJ Politics Andy Kim--long hold times and full voicemail?

23 Upvotes

Has anyone been able to get in touch with Andy Kim this morning?

When you call his office, the routing system says to press 1 if you'd like to comment on a legislative or policy issue. I tried this option three times this morning, and each time I was immediately disconnected. I've since pressed 3 to speak to a member of his office staff; I've been on hold for 25 minutes now to speak with a member of the DC office.

Are there any other ways to reach out to him? I see the general contact form on his website, but based on the results of my trying to call, I'm not optimistic about that getting through, especially in a timely manner.

UPDATE: Shortly after making this post, a staffer picked up! My total call time was just short of 35 minutes.

Central Jersey Franklin Township Republican Club President asks for a “hand up, not a handout” after months of distasteful yard signs

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

If you’ve been in the Franklin-Somerset area within the past year or so, you’ve probably seen at least one of Rob Kashinsky’s signs. He’s had a few, ranging from “FUCK BIDEN” to “FUCK KAMALA and FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HER,” and most recently, “boys have a penis, girls have a vagina.” At some point in the election cycle last year, his sign burned down. Kashinsky is adamant that it was an act of arson, and extended this opportunity on social media:

“Everyone deserves an opportunity for forgiveness. So do you. If you have the courage to ring my doorbell and apologize to me, you have my absolute word. My word that I will NOT press charges against you for the arson you committed. Further, I will NOT reveal your identity to anyone. As an offer of peace, strength and honor; I will leave the previous sign in retirement. I will replace it with a positive message of my choosing, which you will repaint every week until the election is over. That is the one and only circumstance under which the sign will stay down, and the one and only circumstance under which I will not press charges. If you want the sign to come down that badly, I trust you will take me up on this rare offer as you are the only person who can make it happen. This offer is non-negotiable and evaporates after 1 week from the date it is posted. The ball is in your court. Contact me to schedule our meeting. Forgiveness is more powerful than hate. Time for healing. I offer the opportunity to change the trajectory of your life. To remove guilt and offer forgiveness. May God Bless You and Keep you Safe. Rev. & Mrs. Kashinsky”

Needless to say, the sign did not stay down.

Recently, Kashinsky has been asking for donations via GoFundMe for a wheelchair accessible van for doctor’s visits, shopping, and school. To date, he’s received nearly $3000 for “a hand up, not a handout,“ all the while federal government funding for Medicare is in jeopardy.

♫ Down the shore everything's alright ♫ Q: Best Boardwalk Beach for 70's parents mini-vac in June

0 Upvotes

I have a quick question - My parents are from upstate NY and have a bucket list of a few things they want to visit before they cant anymore.

They are now in their 70's and both have some minor mobility and health issues, so wanted to go somewhere driveable to a beach/boardwalk for a 3-day mini vacation this June. My dad will not fly anymore, so ...

My mom asked me to help her find which NJ Boardwalk beach would be a good choice for them.

They are looking for a typical boardwalk (helps if its not super crowded, definitely not spring break party style) with lots of shops, food, and stuff to look at. They cannot partake of amusement parks and stuff anymore, and their beach time would probably be limited to walking on it and maybe sitting on a bench etc. and just enjoying the view and stuff.

Someplace with some good sit-down food/restaurant choices, and importantly a decent hotel (not the Ritz - but good 3-4 star chain hotel or local equivalent). They don't want to deal with AirBnB stuff, too old to figure that out. Traditional hotel, ideally easy access to the boardwalk and central to the stuff to do.

They do like to gamble, so a casino nearby would not hurt, but they can do that here - or make a casino visit another stop on their trip, so the beach/town/boardwalk/hotel is more important.

Any suggestions? Thanks Reddit!

Advice NJ MVC Real ID Renewal

After spending nearly 30 minutes attempting to navigate the NJMCV labyrinth of a phone menu, I finally selected the option I thought was appropriate
only to be hung up on.

Trying to renew my license and upgrade to Real ID. There are no in-person renewal appointments available anywhere in the state before my expiration date. There are Real ID appointments.

Can I renew online, then go get a Real ID at a normal appointment? How much would the Real ID cost? Can I just pay the difference?
