5 years after Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd:
-Police are killing more Americans than ever before
-Qualified immunity still exists, preventing accountability
-Police budgets are bigger than ever before (Thanks both to Biden and Trump)
-Militarization of police continues to increase
Make no mistake. This is not what freedom looks like. This is a march towards authoritarianism.

A reminder that Netanyahu is still starving Gaza by blocking aid—which is a war crime.
Recall that when Yemenis blocked ships to prevent genocide, they were bombed. Now, as Israelis block aid to enable famine, they’re protected.
If you don't see the grotesque white supremacy in our foreign policy then you're either not paying attention or you're happily complicit.
The world must unite to end this blockade and stop this genocide.

My name has never been a call to action, but today it is.
Help stop a grotesque anti-climate, pro-pollution bill from becoming law.
TEXT QASIM TO 43464 and help stop a terrible anti-climate bill that will kill up to 400,000 jobs, poison our air, and raise our energy costs, among other terrible things. My goal is to inspire at least 10,000 of y’all to join me in contacting Congress.
Text my name, QASIM, to 43464 and let’s get to work. Text, share, let’s go!

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight:
•Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid
•Gutting $500 billion from Medicare
•Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance)
•Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs
All to help 800 billionaires and hundreds of billion dollar corporations become even wealthier. This is the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the wealthy. This is corporate welfare on steroids. This is class warfare against working people.

WOW. The Guardian is reporting that Israeli troops fired ‘warning shots’ at 25 diplomats visiting occupied West Bank. The delegation comprised ambassadors and diplomats representing 31 countries, including Italy, Canada, Egypt, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.
Israel claims it was an "inconvenience" and they're investigating.
Make no mistake, this is deliberate intimidation by a regime committing daily genocide. If this is how they treat diplomats, just imagine how they treat Palestinians.

Columbia U, NYU, George Washington U, and more -- universities continue to punish students for mentioning Netanyahu's U.S. funded genocide of Palestinians in their commencement speeches.
Imagine recruiting kids to your school with the promise they can change the world, educating them for 4 years to change the world, and then slamming them for daring to act to change the world.
The hypocrisy and cowardice of it all.

If you're upset and offended that a plantation that enslaved countless Black people has burned down then just pretend it was a book on Black history and you'll feel better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Remember Judge Hannah Dugan, who Trump arrested for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant leave her courthouse?
Welp, she’s fighting back and stating that she cannot be prosecuted for her official judicial acts, and cites Trump’s own immunity ruling from SCOTUS which protects government officials for actions taken in the official line of duty.
This is the fire with fire we needed all along. Love it.

In Georgia you can't donate organs of someone who died without their consent—but Georgia’s 6 week abortion ban is now forcing a brain dead woman to stay alive without her or her family’s consent because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she went brain dead.
In short—even a corpse in Georgia has more rights over its body than do women and girls. Horrific.

URGENT: Need at least 500 letters in the next 24 hours to demand Congress BLOCK cuts to Medicaid.
If Congress cuts Medicaid, that's ~72M Americans w/o healthcare. This Will Be Devastating.
Contact your Rep now at the below link. Then boost. Let's go.

BREAKING: My sources inside the Trump White House have leaked his formal immigration policy to me--depicted below.

This would be a clear way to show the Democratic Party base that you really do not care what we think, and that new ideas will not be tolerated.

If you're wondering how White Afrikaaners are considered "persecuted" in South Africa, it's probably because they only own 70% of the land where as white Americans in the United States own 98% of the land.
How are they supposed to survive on only 70% of the land? Do you people have no shame? /s
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
White supremacy is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan refugees who helped the USA against the Taliban, but proudly accepts white Afrikaaner South Africans as refugees to the USA for no apparent reason except they're white.
Reminder that Trump is pro-apartheid & racist.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Pope Leo has wasted no time calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. This is both following in the footsteps of his predecessor & the right thing to do.
People with compassion and a commitment to justice unwaveringly demand ceasefire immediately. I'm grateful Pope Leo is leading with compassion & justice.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Totally normal non-autocrat non-corrupt behavior:
Trump is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift for use by Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation.
It's almost like the emoluments clause doesn't even exist. If a half BILLION dollar plane isn't a "gift" then words don't have meanings anymore. smh

MAGA member of Congress says investigating ICE is “insurrection and worse than 9/11.”
I don’t have the words to express how stupid these fascists are. Beyond insufferable.
Oh, and he will face zero accountability for trivializing the mass murder of 3000 American civilians.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
Did you know:
-CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season—most in 15 years
-Measles surpasses 1000 cases—first time in 30 years
-USA has the lowest life expectancy & highest infant & maternal mortality of any developed nation on Earth
This horror is what RFK + the for profit health scam industry has wrought us. Smh

Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus.
As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process and habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold. I cannot emphasize enough how serious this situation is for our nation.
Continue to loudly speak up against this fascist regime while we still can.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.
How defunding public media endangers our children's learning and well-being. Yet that exactly is what the Trump regime is trying to do. We cannot let them.
