“So what do we do to stop Trump?” is a question I receive dozens of times per day. I answer in detail here.
To be sure, the worst thing we can do is give up. Autocrats want capitulation through exhaustion and compliance through fear. Do not give them that fuel.
Instead, in response to the 7 fascist actions cited, I offer 7 acts we can take to enact meaningful change for justice. Here’s how:

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose.
And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds.
This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.

Donald Trump blames diversity to deflect from his own incompetence. The receipts show Trump deregulated the FAA, and is doing everything possible to avoid accountability.
We need to stand up against his incompetence or more Americans will die.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal.
Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.

BREAKING: Acting FBI director confirms DOJ has ordered him to fire 8 FBI executives & share the names of every employee who worked on the January 6th insurrection cases.
What a world when the Nazi who wore the "Camp Auschwitz" shirt is pardoned & the people who convicted him are punished. Horrific.

MAGA fascism is catapulting full speed ahead and The Democrat Party is nowhere to be found. No leadership. No organization. No strategy. Not even a message.
I cannot count how many people have messaged me that they’ll never vote Dem again because of Dem leadership silence in this critical hour.

GOP removed housing regulations—housing collapsed
GOP removed banking regulations—banks went under
GOP removed railroad regulations—trains derailed
GOP removed FAA regulations—midair crash
Stop deregulating billionaires and transportation industries. Start prosecuting those who commit fraud.

Keep hearing people say “2020s America is becoming 1930s Germany.”
Ok but 1930s Hitler sent his lawyers to USA to learn how U.S. Govt enforced Jim Crow laws, & Hitler’s lawyers reported back that the American system is too extreme—even for Nazis.😳
Harsh truth is 2020s USA is becoming 1920s USA. That return to Jim Crow fascism is what “MAGA” always meant.

The first thought that entered my mind was, “Trump’s funding freeze will kill people.”
Here's a recap of Trump's spending freeze, the lawsuits stopping the freeze, and how you can take action to counter this destructive move.
We all must speak up, or we enable Trump to continue to increase his fascism.
https://lets-address-this-with-qasim-rashid.ghost.io/the-fascist-attempt-to-freeze-funding/
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
BREAKING: The Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. have all filed suit against Trump for his budget freeze on vital health services.
The fact that 0 Republican AGs are joining this lawsuit, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks volumes on how MAGA is absolutely a cult.

Medicaid covers 41% of all USA births.
Pro life party that constantly screams about "declining birth rates," won't fund universal healthcare, won't fund pre-K, won't fund child tax credit, won't fund school lunches, & now eliminates healthcare needed for 2 of every 5 babies.
This will kill people.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
A reminder that the largest demographic of Americans who voted Trump are white people, particularly low income white people.
And the largest demographic of Americans who will be hurt by Trump's budget freeze are white people, particularly low income white people.
MAGA racism will eat their own to advance the myth that Black & brown people abuse welfare.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
No I will not debate you on the ethics of ICE school raids to kidnap kids & strike into them the fear of a tyrannical government.
And if you find yourself defending such fascism, expect a block—and remember that at no point in history were the people who justified targeting children the good guys.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Trump has dismantled the bipartisan Federal School Safety Clearinghouse’s advisory board, established in his own first term no less, & designed to help build policy to prevent school shootings.
Meanwhile his ICE thugs are raiding schools to kidnap kids.
Again, this is fascism.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Wiping clean DOJ website of 1500 white supremacist felons & wiping clean mention of the heroic Black Tuskegee Airmen.
When you're protecting white supremacists who fought to destroy democracy & censoring Black soldiers who fought to protect it, then you aren't a patriot—you're a fascist.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Trump doesn't care that the POTUS cannot rewrite the Constitution—he'll try to end birthright citizenship anyway.
He doesn't care that the POTUS cannot fire Inspectors General—he'll try to fire them anyway.
He doesn't care that the POTUS cannot repeal legislation—he'll try to repeal civil rights acts it anyway.
He is a chaos agent. The more time of ours he can waste creating chaos, the more of a distraction he can create to expand corruption to a point of no return. That's his oligarchy goal.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Trump want employees to snitch on each other if anyone is caught doing "disguised DEIA," whatever that means.
Here's the email they want to report people to: DEIAtruth@opm.gov
Would be a shame if people spammed it. Not suggesting it. But it would be a shame.🙃

Qasim Rashid, Esq.
In 1933 Nazis issued a decree that required Germans to snitch on anyone who spoke against the party, its leaders, or the Govt.
In 2025 MAGAs force federal employees to snitch on anyone who does "DEI in disguise," or suffer "adverse consequences."
Here's the fascist memo from the MAGA White House

Multiple cities reporting that ICE raids have begun.
I'm an immigrant & human rights lawyer. I wrote this on how to handle ICE, the actions each of us can take to protect our immigrant neighbors, & debunking anti-immigrant hate.
No paywall. Please share widely.

Wow. Today several Fed Govt contacts sent me a memo from the Acting AG that says:
1) All DEI programs are cancelled
2) Federal employees Must report "disguised" DEI within 10 days & failure to do so will result in "adverse consequences."
Yeah, they’re forcing employees to snitch on one another like its North Korea. My full analysis forthcoming—Subscribe to receive it in your inbox: https://www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe
