Susan Collins was the deciding vote today to block the Senate release of the Epstein files.Graham Platner is people funded, rejects AIPAC, condemns Israel’s genocide in Palestine by name, & doesn’t protect pedophiles.Join me in throwing a few bucks his way:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/gpbgi?refcode=qr
Don't ignore the deterioration of our civil rights.As SCOTUS permits racial profiling of Latinos for ICE targeting, a reminder of this harsh truth—the Supreme Court's near entire history is grounded in advancing white supremacy.And the receipts are devastatinghttps://www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-supreme-court-has-always-upheld
Three lessons, 24 years after 9/111. The cost of 9/11 went beyond the 2977 Americans murdered, and why we cannot ignore that history2. The myth of "unity on 9/12" that never existed3. The need for meaningful justice to prevent future violencehttps://www.qasimrashid.com/p/three-lessons-24-years-after-911
I regularly get death threats. I've had to go to federal court to testify against the man who wanted to kill me and my children. I have never responded by calling for violence against those who seek to harm me, & certainly never against any block of people.We have no idea who killed Kirk, and may not for a while. But speculation only creates more chaos. And we don't create peace by demanding an eye for an eye.If we want peace, take this moment to thoughtfully reflect, not seek blind revenge.
It's not only okay, but an obligation to call out the hypocrisy.Trump is ordering flags at half staff for Kirk's murder.Yet, two months after the murder of MN Speaker Melissa Hortman he's refused to so much as call the Hortman family or MN Governor Walz, and instead took out time to mock them.Vile hypocrisy doesn't facilitate peace, it enables more violence.
Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.'We saw the recent cruelty of MAGAs denying empathy to Melissa Hortman.Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans.
@CStamp @QasimRashid Yeah...his career is failing. They always run to the right when they're unemployable.See Scott Baio, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, My Pillow, etc.
This week SCOTUS issued a ghastly ruling, that Trump's ICE fascists can use ethnicity as a ‘relevant factor’ to detain people, specifically citing Latino ethnicity. Here’s the harsh truth: This Supreme Court’s extremism is not an aberration, but a manifestation, of Supreme Court extremism throughout U.S. history. Here are the devastating receipts: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-supreme-court-has-always-upheld
Western media has completely ignored this story.Israel’s Supreme Court just ruled that the Israeli Govt is intentionally depriving thousands of Palestinian prisoners of even a minimum amount of food for daily subsistence.Israel holds ~10,000 Palestinians hostage—without charge, trial, or conviction. Now Israel's own Supreme Court rules that the Israeli Govt is starving them. Is Israel's Supreme Court now "Hamas" too?These Are War Crimes. Western Media remains silent & shamefully complicit.
American workers are under attack—and sadly, the attacker is the President. Trump’s extremist policies target Black people, Latinos, migrant workers, & now South Korean workers, costing us hundreds of billions. How bad is the situation now?

@QasimRashid I've been reading a book about the history of South Africa from colonialism to modern days and, damn, what you just said kind of reminds me of apartheid. Scary how history repeats itself, huh?
The Government of South Korea followed US immigration law.The US based Hyundai employers followed US immigration law.The immigrant workers at SC Hyundai plant followed immigration law.And ICE fascists raided them anyway, without any regard for US immigration law, due process of law, or basic human dignity.Proving yet again that it was never about “coming here legally.” It was always about shutting down non-white immigration and advancing white nationalist Christianity.
Today on a shadow docket the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump's ICE fascists can use ethnicity as a ‘relevant factor’ when furnishing reasonable suspicion to detain people, specifically citing Latino ethnicity.No mention of the ~600K mostly white Canadian & European undocumented immigrants.This is what fascism looks like.
Today I was supposed to interview Wissam Hamada, the honorable mother of Hind Rajab. But we were unable to make it happen because she had to flee an attempt by the Israeli military on her life. Killing her daughter with 355 bullets wasn’t enough, they are still pursuing her. And now that "The Voice of Hind Rajab" by Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania is going live, the threats on her life will increase.Do not be silent on this genocide. Raise your voice. Be on the right side of history.
A few hours ago I received a violent series of texts on my private cell, threatening me because I'm speaking up for Palestine.They sent me a home address I used to live at, said they'll "wipe me off the street" and are backed by Canary Mission.This is how fascists defend genocide.I am not going to be intimidated or silenced so easily. I’ve reported them to the FBI and and posting more details soon. God help us.

As the fascist in chief violates the Constitution to use the military to wage war on Americans—a reminder that The Hill published this propaganda about Harris & it is still up.

I spent this morning joining fellow organizers to protest ICE fascists in Chicago, at their Broadview location at 1930 Beach St. What unfolded was telling—not about us, but about them.Here are three key takeaways, & why I hope you join the next protest near you.https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/today-i-protested-ice-fasciststhey
Just got done protesting ICE fascists at the Broadview location at 1930 Peach St.The fascists were so frightened that they changed the timings of when they traffick people so that they wouldn’t have to face us. When a few ICE fascists did show up, they covered their faces just as you would expect out of an evil army. Posting full analysis at https://www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe soon.
