Delta spent a ton on union busting and anti-union activities, and now they want exploit people with AI.

This is yet another reason why corporate deregulation will always favor the wealthy and screw over the working class.

Will not be booking a delta flight any time soon. Or ever.

This week began with 300+ paid subscribers canceling Let’s Address This—many citing my advocacy for Gaza. That followed with overwhelming support—catapulting Let’s Address This to #1 Nationally in U.S. Politics.

Read below for the updates! (plus a new dad joke).

Bill Maher is now ranting about Mamdani & calling him antisemitic—despite Jewish New Yorkers overwhelmingly voting for Mamdani

Is anyone surprised that Maher—who ignores Trump dining with and pardoning Nazi insurrectionists, ignores Trump's 28 credible cases of sexual assault (even before the Epstein list), ignores as Trump destroys our country, who dined with Trump & wrote a fluff piece praising him—is upset that a brown Muslim immigrant might be mayor?

Maher is terrible at masking his racism

Bloomberg is reporting that the FBI redacted Donald Trump’s name from the Epstein files.

Here’s the thing. Redacting a name doesn’t mean it’s NOT there. It confirms it IS there.

Donald Trump is in the Epstein files list of child sex abusers and rapists. Period. Fascism wasn’t a deal breaker for MAGAs. I’m afraid to find out that pedophilia won’t be either. 😳

BREAKING: First France, then United Kingdom, now Canada announces that it will recognize a Palestinian state this September at the UN.

Keep the pressure on! Ensure statements convert to action. We must demand a stop to this genocide and a global recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine.🇵🇸 ❤️ ✊🏽

Collective punishment is a war crime.

Forced displacement is ethnic cleansing.

Intentionally bombing safe zones is genocide.

And remaining silent on all of the above is complicity.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk. Now Stop The Genocide.

I can report that 300+ paid subs have cancelled their subscriptions to my human rights newsletter—many citing my advocacy for Gaza.

I have 2 options. Tone it down, or double down. So let me be absolutely clear: Unsubscribe. Block. Cancel. Report. Do whatever the hell it is you need to do. I will not stop condemning Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. Free Palestine.

To the politicians issuing empty statements that "starvation is bad, we should do something" yet refusing to even acknowledge that maybe, just MAYBE, they should stop funding the war criminal doing the starvation—please know that your empty statements are useless and you remain complicit in this genocide. “Never again” demands action, otherwise its an empty and meaningless slogan. DO SOMETHING, or resign and let someone with actual courage and humanity take action.

Even the New York Times is now reporting that Israel lied about Hamas "stealing aid" and in reality Netanyahu has been deliberately blocking aid, killing thousands of Palestinians by starvation—which is a war crime.

So, how disgusting that American politicians and media are more upset with Zohran Mamdani for a phrase he never said than they are with Andrew Cuomo for joining Netanyahu's legal team to defend him against charges of documented war crimes in Gaza.

White supremacy is a helluva drug.

It’s absurd that Establishment Dems have more energy to condemn CBS for firing Stephen Colbert than to condemn Netanyahu for committing genocide of Palestinians.

They have more energy to condemn Mamdani for wanting to raise taxes 2% on millionaires than to condemn Cuomo for 13 credible sexual abuse cases.

Establishment Dems need to grow a spine and choose human rights and working people over foreign lobbies and corporate donors—and actually be an opposition party, for once.

As we grapple with yet another horrific revelation that Trump is named throughout the Epstein files related to child sex trafficking—a reminder that Mueller could've charged Trump but chose not to due to made up DOJ "rules," McConnell could've removed Trump but chose not to due to "politics," Garland could've convicted Trump but chose not to due to "norms," and Biden could've replaced Garland with a new AG to charge Trump but chose not to due to "optics."

We are not here by mere accident.

Wow! BREAKING NEWS!

Democratic Rep Summer Lee of PA forces a House Oversight subcommittee vote of 8-2 to subpoena the DOJ for the full and un-redacted Epstein Files.
•All 5 Dems voted Yes.
•3 GOP Yes votes were Jack (GA), Mace (SC), & Perry (PA).
•2 Nay votes were MAGAS Higgins (LA) and Biggs (AZ).

BREAKING: WSJ reporting that in May, US Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump that he is among several names listed throughout the Epstein files.

Surprising absolutely no one, they always knew Trump is in the Epstein files, and they support him anyway.

Epstein is a known child sex trafficker, and knowing this full well, MAGAs continue to support him. Speaker Johnson literally shut down the House to prevent having to vote on this. This is who they are. Horrific.

Brandolini’s Law states, “The amount of energy needed to refute bullsh*t is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.”

The amount of bullsh*t in a recent WSJ OpEd by propagandist Sad Dhume is breathtaking. Here, I rebuke this dangerous fascism:
https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/rebuking-fascism-and-anti-muslim

Understand this: Despite public calls to release the Epstein files—as Trump promised to do—Trump has refused and instead:
•Demands Washington Commanders change their name back to R*dskins
•Posted AI generated video of Obama being arrested in the White House
•Released FBI files on Dr. King despite King family’s objection to their release

These are the acts of a narcissistic fascist desperate to distract from the fact that he is all over the Epstein Files for exactly the reason everyone suspects.

The Israeli military has opened fire and killed at least 67 more Palestinian civilians seeking aid at a designated aid site. The UN reports that Israel has now murdered at least 800 Palestinians seeking aid since late May.

This is genocide. These are war crimes. Why does the world continue to remain silent? Every politician—Dem or GOP—silent on this is complicit. I hope history remembers them as such. Horrific.

1973: US Govt helps install Chilean dictator Pinochet

1987: Luis Leon survives torture at hands of Pinochet, escapes to USA, receives asylum

2025: ICE disappears Leon (now 82), lies to family that he's dead, he's actually in a Guatemalan hospital

He did everything right and legal, and ICE disappears him anyway. This is fascism through and through and anyone who supports this is complicit.

ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.

Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.

It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

State Farm is announcing a whopping 27% rate hike, citing massive increase in payouts due to weather related damage.

1. Reminder: whatever the cost of climate justice, it pales in comparison to the cost of climate change

2. State Farm had $5.3B net income in 2024. Billionaires do not care about us
