Florida GOP gerrymandered its districts to dilute Black voters. But almost no one is talking about the response of Florida’s corporate Dems.1. They’re running Alexander Vindman for Senate even though an extraordinary Black State Rep named Angie Nixon was already running2. They’re running Debbi Wasserman Schulz for House in majority non-white CD-20 even though 6 Black Dem candidates are already running.Both parties in Florida are telling Black people to take a back seat & it’s indefensible.

As a human rights lawyer representing survivors of domestic and sexual violence for 15+ years, I've learned a hard truth. One that will make some men uncomfortable. This is good. Discomfort is the beginning of accountability.Women are not safe around men. This is a documented, data-driven, empirically supported fact our society has spent generations refusing to confront. Let's Address This. https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/women-are-not-safe-around-men

A reminder that $60B on Trump’s illegal war on Iran & $300B in reparations to Iran would have paid for universal public college for about 5 years for 20 million students a year.Instead it’s money wasted, 2000 Iranian civilians (including 165 school girls) murdered & 13 soldiers killed. Horrendous.

According to a Brown University study, George Bush’s post 9/11 wars killed between 4.5 to 4.7 million people, mostly Muslim, mostly civilians, women, and children. Let’s not normalize war criminals who said God sent them on a divine mission to invade Iraq and mass murder millions of people. This isn’t a high bar.

Police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley on the false claim his mother stole diapers. His killer is on paid leave & his ID is hidden.Police killed 7-year-old Aiyana Jones as she slept in her living room. Her murderer Joseph Weekley walked free.Police killed 11-year-old Tamir Rice as he played in a park. HIs murderer Timothy Loehmann walked free.America's carceral system treats Black children like chattel because the system isn't broken—it's working exactly as intended. And that's the problem.

In the 1936 Olympics, Jesse Owens won 4 Gold Medals, but FDR refused to allow him and 17 other Black US Olympians into the White House, forcing them to celebrate elsewhere.Now in the 2026 World Cup, Trump is refusing to allow the 26-man Iranian team to stay in the United States, forcing them to sleep in Mexico.90 years later and American Presidents still cannot tolerate Black and brown people. The past isn't the past, it's here and now.

We're less than $4500 from our $25,000 goal for hearing aids for Syrian children—children who lost their hearing due to war and bombs dropped by the USA.I'm going to Syria to provide hearing aids for these precious kids. 100% of funds raised goes to kids. Grateful to the 250+ who have already contributed. I hope you can donate and help meet our goal:https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/give_the_gift_of_hearing_for_100_deaf_children_in_syria_with_qasim_rashid

So to recap:— Russia owns Trump— China owns Trump— Israel owns Trump— Iran owns Trump— Epstein files cite him 1M+ times that we know of— Inflation is 40% higher than when Trump came in office— Unemployment is 9% higher than when Trump came in officeProblem is—Trump doesn't care. Why? Because:— He's grifted billions in personal wealth— His Christian Nationalist base is happy Project 2025 is full speed ahead, &— His approval (39%) is still higher than Dem Party approval (36%)

Texas GOP to American Muslims: Convert to Christianity or Leave America Yes, really. I wish I were being hyperbolic but I’m not. This is fascism in the USA wrapped in an American flag and carrying a cross.https://open.substack.com/pub/letsaddresstexas/p/texas-gop-to-american-muslims-convert?r=fyvxf&utm_medium=ios

Today we learned a 36-year-old white Texan man was caught in Bogota Colombia raping an adopted 7-year-old boy in broad daylight. Cops entered his apartment & also rescued 4-year-old & 15-year-old rape victims.Trump pushed the racist lie that Mexico is sending “rapists” to the USA. In reality—77.1% of CSAM distributors & 75.2% of CSAM producers are White. Not immigrants. Not Black or brown people. Not drag queens. White men—like Trump in the Epstein files. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage. This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.

As you watch the World Cup, remember that Israel is participating despite their globally acknowledged genocide of Palestinians, USA is participating despite their funding of that genocide, and illegal invasion of Iran, and illegal kidnapping of Marduro, and illegal mass murder of Venezuelan fisherman—all while Russia is banned due to their illegal invasion of Ukraine.This isn’t a defense of Russia—it’s a global admission of which skin color gets protection, and which skin colors do not.

Musk has now hoarded $1 Trillion—making him the greediest hoarder on all Earth. To put that obnoxious amount of hoarding in perspective:•1M seconds from now is in 11 days•1B seconds from now is in 32 years•1T seconds from now is in 32,000 yearsThis isn’t “hard work.” It’s greed and exploitation. Tax billionaires & trillionaires out of existence. Protect working people. Save our society.

And lest we forget how the US Govt overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran in 1952, and how Reagan and the CIA funded the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, and how Bush funded Saddam Hussein…and the list goes on and on….

The UN just issued a 94-page detailed report documenting that the Israeli government committed genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children—killing more than 20,000.You won’t see corporate media cover it. You won’t see politicians who voted to fund Netanyahu be asked about it. You won’t see AIPAC be questioned about it. Silence to this atrocity is complicity with this atrocity. Stop listening to any journalist, and vote out every politician, silent on this genocide. Enough.

A MAGA got offended I called the Founders "colonizers,"—rebuking me that "the original 13 colonies were beacons of freedom." I asked him to repeat that part...slowly. Apparently "colonies" is respectful—but calling those who built colonies "colonizers" is not.🤔Also, I'm sure the enslaved, the Indigenous, women, and anyone not a wealthy white male land owner agrees with the "beacon of freedom" part.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital.Yet he still has a job, is still getting paid, and is getting unlimited world class healthcare.The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three when he needs it most. Every person deserves the human dignity McConnell is getting on the taxpayer dime. Anything less is shameless cruel hypocrisy.

Today ICE fascists fatally shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine.This is at least the 11th person they’ve murdered this year—that we know of.This man did everything he was supposed to. He was authorized to work in the US. He had a Social Security number. He served his community.But because he didn’t have the complexion for protection, ICE fascists murdered him in broad daylight. Abolish and prosecute ICE.
