I’m realizing that if we truly want Establishment Democrats to fight against Donald Trump and his fascism with everything they’ve got, then we all we need to do is convince them that Trump is actually a 33-year-old brown Muslim democratic socialist.

'Let us protect one another’s sacred spaces, defend one another’s rights, and hold fast to the covenant of humanity.'

At a time of immense division, and false claims that Muslims and Christians are supposed to be opposed to one another...I want to share this. A letter Prophet Muhammad (sa) wrote to the Christians of his time...a letter meant to last for all time. islamtoday.substack.com/p/a-letter-o...

Get government out of my health decisions.

There is no debating those stats - truth

The data is undeniable: •15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access. •12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access. Why is this even a debate? www.qasimrashid.com/p/three-year...

A reminder that last year immigrants killed 29 people and white US Citizen men killed 8842 people. Meaning, the harm caused by some immigrants in a full year (29), white US citizen men killed almost daily (24 people), every single day of the year. #WhereWereTheyRadicalized?

This.

If you still don't see the danger of SCOTUS letting Trump deny people due process of law & instead arbitrarily deport them to third countries without regard to their health, safety, or prison conditions in that third country—then you still don't understand why Hitler built camps in third countries.

We’re only ~150 subscribers from hitting our first 1000 subs on my new platform, Islam Today. I am building this to combat anti-Muslim bigotry & Islamophobia. As this Trump regime goes into overdrive on both, I’d love your support. (Btw, no paywall, ever)❤️✊🏽 islamtoday.substack.com/subscribe

Israel embedded its spies inside Iran, activated them to attack Iran—and Israel gets praised as a military genius. The White House lies that Iran has embedded "Islamic terrorists sleeper cells" in the United States—and Iranians & Muslims get demonized. Grotesque & racist double standards.

In, 2025 “Iran has nukes” is the 2003 “Iraq has WMDs.” Don't let them get away with this dangerous racist propaganda. As corporate media again capitulates to war hawks, here’s how we uphold justice, counter anti-Muslim hate, and demand accountability. www.qasimrashid.com/p/same-lies-...

The “Iran has nukes” lie in 2025 is the “Iraq has WMDs" lie of 2003. And corporate media is piling on for clicks. But there's one big difference in 2025! Now—we have independent platforms to reject this racist and dangerous propaganda. Here’s how we take action: www.qasimrashid.com/p/same-lies-...

Some things are hard to look at. But looking’s the first step in resistance.

This and the anti-Mamdani stuff are related.

Republican Warmongers.

In "Same Lies, Different Country" @qasimrashid.com describes how Trump is repeating Bush's snipe hunt for WMDs. Meanwhile the White House puts out tropes so Americans will fear 'brown people in sleeper cells' while the biggest terror threat is white supremacists. open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

"If history teaches us anything, it’s this: when war crimes go unpunished, they escalate. When disinformation goes unchallenged, it metastasizes. And when minorities (in this case Muslims) are scapegoated, violence spreads."

On Episode 176 I interview Ana María Archila—NY Working Families Party Director—to discuss Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor. Mamdani was polling at just 1% three months ago, and now he is in a viable position to win—how did this happen? (Remember to Rank Mamdani #1) www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-qasim-...

This ⬇️

How it started. How it’s going.

ICE is literally beating and kidnapping Americans in the streets and disappearing them to gulags in other countries but yeah, let's instead demonize the Iranian American and American Muslim communities with good old "sleeper cell" fear mongering to distract from Trump's illegal war with Iran.

if iran had this capacity they wouldn’t jeopardize it by making threats about it lol. this is obvious consent-manufacturing with a nice lead-in for further crackdowns against protesters on top

Of course the US administration is using the same playbook from over two decades ago. I will NEVER forgive Biden for enabling the Iraq war and for not throwing the current cast of clowns into prison where they belong.

2004 Iraq: Islamic extremists invade US, join sleeper cells 2025 Iran: Islamic extremists invade US, join sleeper cells Please don't buy into this anti-Muslim propaganda. It is racist & dangerous. Keep the focus on the facts: Trump violated the US constitution & must be held accountable. Period

As we see Trump attack Iran in violation of Constitutional law and Democratic leadership respond by writing groveling and impotent tweets, I'm reminded why someone described Republicans as the Uvalde shooter and Democrats as the cops who waited outside and did nothing. Smh.

The anti-Muslim demonization is already starting. On Islam Today, I wrote about the humanitarian rules of war that Prophet Muhammad (sa) established—rules that if all parties adopt, can ensure no civilian is harmed, and war ends quickly and permanently. islamtoday.substack.com/p/prophet-mu...

I've been saying this for years!!!

While we still have more immediate domestic issues to resolve, here's @qasimrashid.com, suggesting some real steps citizens can take against the Iran matter. We suggest you consider Mr. Rashid's suggestions while you act to defend Medicare, Social Security, immigrant rights and voting rights.

"The U.S. has unilaterally bombed a sovereign nation of 92 million people, with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, and no legitimate justification under international law. This is not defense. This is a deliberate act of aggression"

Absolutely feckless and cowardly. The man violated the constitution and risks global war and the best you can do is a strongly worded tweet. Your cowardice makes you complicit. This is so pathetic.

The inability of democrats to get out of their own way is I’ll be forever insane

Dems are sure doing a bang up job of attracting new/first time voters. Instead of offering an antidote to voter apathy, they opt for fueling it. FFS.

Meanwhile ,known champion of women's rights Bill Clinton has endorsed Andrew Cuomo, fellow known champion of women's rights. /s We live in the stupidest timeline.

Six months later: this is what the eggs cost 😒😞

“The U.S. has unilaterally bombed a sovereign nation of 92 million people, with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, and no legitimate justification under international law.” Let’s be clear about what this means: The military will NOT stand up to Trump’s illegal orders.

Trump has bombed a sovereign nation with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, & no legitimate justification under US or Int’l law. This is not defense—it is deliberate aggression. Here’s how to demand Congress pass the anti-war resolution. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-united...

Exactly.

The same people who claim they oppose fair taxation of the super wealthy because “no one is entitled to other people’s money” have no hesitation to wage a corrupt war for oil and power fought by other people’s children. Their hoarding of wealth is more precious to them than us holding our children.

This could have been prevented if the journalist Hegseth accidentally added to the Signal chat coordinating this attack had spoken up earlier in the week.
