In 2022 SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that public school teachers & other staff can lead students in prayer.

Now Louisiana will require all schools that receive public funding to display the Ten Commandments, including colleges and universities.

If it’s prayer these guys want, if you’re a public school teacher who wants to learn the Islamic call to prayer, i.e. the Adhaan, to teach your students, let me know.🙃

Lebron James spoke out & was told shut up & dribble

Colin Kaepernick took a knee & was labeled unpatriotic

Serena Williams spoke out & was demonized as the angry Black woman

Harrison Butker spews right wing absurdities & he's a truth teller

Can't qwhite put my finger on why🤔

My latest:

SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that police have no legal duty to protect us—so why do we keep throwing money at an org with no duty to keep us safe? And perhaps most importantly, how do we actually ensure public safety?

Publishing Friday morning:

Cops have arrested 3000+ students & professors peacefully protesting. A reminder that police have no legal duty to protect us. This isn't clickbait—it's SCOTUS precedent.

BREAKING: Gov Abbot pardons Daniel Perry despite Perry's plan to kill Muslims & Black people—then succeeding in killing a BLM protestor (who was a Veteran). "All lives matter" crowd proudly celebrates killing Muslims & Black people.

A reminder once more that a system cannot fail those it was never meant to protect.

This powerful leader is Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, tenured Professor of Political Science at UC Irvine, arrested for protesting the atrocities the US Government is enabling upon Gaza.

When asked if she was concerned about jeopardizing her job, she replied, “What job do I have if the students don’t have a future?!”

Thursday morning I publish my OpEd debunking a reckless Islamophobic meme pushed by ignorant celebrities. Antisemitism & Islamophobia are increasing due to such disinformation. See the receipts to debunk hate.

Monday I published this article asking if Israel recognizes Palestine’s right to exist?
https://open.substack.com/pub/qasimrashid/p/honest-question-does-israel-recognize?r=fyvxf&utm_medium=ios

Hateful emails called me “antisemitic” for doubting Israel’s support of a 2 state solution

Netanyahu today: “A two state solution would be a reward for terrorists.”😐

I don’t need any apologies. I just need my tax dollars to stop funding this atrocity.

Virginia GOP banning fiction novels about slavery because they’re allegedly traumatic to white kids but renaming their schools to Confederate terrorists despite their documented trauma on Black kids, aren't protecting children or education, they're protecting white supremacy.

My latest - hope you read, share, and subscribe

"To this day in 2024, thousands of children are forced into child marriage in the United States—and Republicans seem to want to keep it that way. With several thousand documented child marriages every year—some involving as children as young as 10—we need need legislative solutions and penalties for those who exploit children. But where do we begin? Let’s Address This."

A Rabbi just emailed me this beautiful note about my article below:

"Mr. Rashid. As a Jew and an American, I thank you for articulating a question that is both honest and fundamental. I love Israel and so many Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Israelis -- and I love Palestine and her people/Ummah. For all of these, your honest and open piece is important. May God bless our world with peace -- and may we partner in this."

To recap the last 24 hours:
•No UNRWA aid allowed, period
•No aid trucks in Gaza since May 5
•Israeli settlers destroy aid near border crossing
•White House approves $1B more in military aid to Israel

Embodying "money for war but can't feed the poor" in all it's shamefulness

Ayesha [wife]: I hurt myself today

Me: [thinking Johnny Cash] To see if you still felt pain?

Ayesha: What?? No. The stupid cabinet door you said you fixed fell off the hinge and hit my foot. I can't take this anymore!

Me: What have I become? My sweetest friend...

Ayesha: 🤦🏽‍♀️
#DadJokes

But seriously I need to fix that cabinet door.
