  At a time of great moral cowardice from too many elected officials, the Pope examplifies courage and compassion. His rebuke of anti-Muslim tropes gives hope for a better and more peaceful future. World leaders would be wise to follow his lead. #CourageNow https://islamtoday.substack.com/p/the-pope-gives-hope-rebukes-anti

  Texas is literally trying to ban Islam and Muslims in fascist violation of the Constitution and corporate media is largely silent. Because anti-Muslim hate is par for their course. This is why independent media matters. See this critical report by @saadia___m for Let’s Address Texas.

  The only thing worse than VP’s beyond incomprehensible gaslighting is the shameless state media rag that now is the Washington Post, who is platform of this gaslighting. Drop them. Support independent media instead. https://www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe And understand that VP’s OpEd is an excuse to target political opponents, not to stop fraud on the American people.

  Last night, 41-year-old Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed won the Democratic primary for United States Senate in Michigan. What he overcame is not just politically significant. It is historic. He was outspent 11 to 1. His opponents deployed more than $60 million in outside spending against him. He won anyway. And we need to understand why so we can duplicate it nationwide. Here's how: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/dr-abdul-el-sayeds-win-isnt-just

  “I will not stand beside someone who has allowed distinctly anti-American sentiment to enter our public dialogue,” Rep. Hillary Scholten, D-Mich. 1. I guess "vote blue no matter who" only applies if the blue is white 2. The irony is one candidate got $60M in foreign dark money PAC spending, but its the brown guy Scholten calls anti-American 3. A reminder yet again that Dr. King called white moderates "worse than the KKK" and he did not lie

  Just snuck into Mayor Mamdani’s city owned grocery store without an ID—they sent me into eggs aisle. We heard a loud boom from dairy—DaBrie everywhere. In the back room I saw massive lines of coke—right next to the Pepsi. Yet, something still smelled fishy—it was the fresh salmon. Back onto the floor a man with a knife pointed at me—my halal meat order was ready. I grabbed my groceries & self-checked out—giving myself another 10% discount—and made a clean getaway.

  Hey so the Trump regime unilaterally forced Haitian Americans into undocumented status, and is now using that undocumented status as an excuse to force them to wear ankle monitors. A reminder that the "just follow the law" crowd is lying. It was never about following the law, it was always about banning Black and brown immigrants to advance white supremacy and Christian nationalism. Wake Up.

  Sigh…I get these more often than you might think. “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” — Zora Neale Hurston When we speak up, we’re told it’s too much pain for observers to bear.

  Imagine being in a position of meaningful power, having the ability to ensure healthcare as a human right for everyone, but deciding "Nah, shareholder value for a couple of oligarchs is more important." How soulless an cruel do you have to be to watch people suffer, the medicine needed to cure them is available and plentiful, but because they don't have enough green pieces of paper, you let 68,000 people die every year. Special place in hell for such cruel, greedy, calloused peop...

  Meta has entered a formal AI partnership with Newsmax—the right-wing propaganda outlet fined $67 million for election denialism. Election-denying, anti-Muslim, anti-woman, anti-democracy "news" now feeds directly into Meta's apps and devices, reaching hundreds of millions of users.

  Mask fully off. Haley Stevens just posted a completely unhinged rant accusing Dr. Abdul El Sayed of "blaming all of America's problems on the Jews." This is disgusting, racist, false, and puts both Muslims and Jews in danger. This is disqualifying. Haley Stevens should be ashamed of herself that she translates condemnation of genocide as "blaming problems on Jews." Reject this corrupt and dangerous politician bought by $60M in dark AIPAC money. Vote instead for Abdul E...

  Yesterday in Chicago, nine state lawmakers from six states stood together and said it plainly: states are not backing down from ICE. That moment didn't happen by accident. It's a coordinated, winning strategy across 35 states. Here’s today's guest post from Gaby Goldstein, founder of State Futures: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/guest-post-the-coalition-beating

  AIPAC has spent $60M so far to prop up Haley Stevens, who is outspending Dr. Abdul El Sayed 12 to 1, and she’s down 16 points. I don’t ever wanna hear “electability” out of the mouths of centrists ever again. New - Senate poll - Michigan 🔵 El-Sayed 57% 🔵 Stevens 41% Emerson #A - LV - 7/27 Anyway polls are polls. Keep the foot on the accelerator and let’s win this.

  A TX police officer searched 83K cameras across state lines to hunt a woman down. Not a missing kid. Not a violent offender. A woman, two weeks after a legal abortion, turned in by her own partner. The sheriff called it a "welfare check"—but his deputies were already on the phone with the DA about charging her that same day.

  A white Christian leader killed his wife and 6 kids. Why is no one asking: - Is this an honor killing? - What is it about white culture that creates this violence? - Where was he radicalized? Now imagine if he was Black, brown, Muslim, or an immigrant. Watch closely, this is how media enables white supremacy and fascism. Reject it.

  Understand why media is going all out trying to demonize Mayor Mamdani for calling to arrest war criminal Netanyahu: 1. They know he's a war criminal and they are covering for him. 2. They know the American people overwhelmingly want him arrested and they're trying desperately to change the narrative. An Economist/YouGov poll found 49% of Americans want the US to arrest Netanyahu & only 27% oppose. (23% were unsure). Arresting Netanyahu is both right AND popular. Mayor Mamdani gets...

  Do you understand that ICE = fascism? ICE fascists deported Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz and his wife, Glendy Marisol González de la Cruz. They tried desperately to reunite in Guatemala. This week they were found gagged, hands and feet bound, with signs of abuse. They were shot to death in a sugarcane field. And their 14-month-old daughter, Giovanni, was found crying next to her mother, trying to wake her up.😓 This is fascism. It is evil. It is funded by our tax dollars. ABOLISH & PROSECUTE...

  Four weeks ago it was Kohen Wiley. Three weeks ago it was Nolan Wells. Last week it is Corey Ruiz. This week its Anthoneil Williams, Nion Giovanni Perez Paz, and Glendy Marison Gonzalez de la Cruz Black and brown lives expendable to the state. This is unsustainable and indefensible. This is structural eugenics. Sending all the love and prayers to the families. May they bear these losses with patience and receive the justice they deserve.😓

  Last week, a 17-year-old child named Anthoneil Williams II called 911 while in distress. Austin Police arrived, and executed him in cold blood with a barrage of more than 20 rounds. Law enforcement does not protect us because the US Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that police have no legal duty to protect the American people from harm or even death. In today’s article, I share the receipts, and the solutions on how we actually protect ourselves: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/austin-police-...
