Episode 233—Wisconsin's Reckoning: Police Killing, Cuba, and the Fight for Democracy
On Episode 233 of The Qasim Rashid Show:We've got quite a show lined up. It's Wisconsin season today. First, we've got State Rep Ryan Clancy of the 19th District running for re-election, a staunch progressive being attacked aggressively because he dared take the position that genocide is bad. We'll be talking about the horrific murder of Corey Ruiz in Madison by police officers, as well as Rep Clancy’s work to protect tenants' rights, workers' rights, and free speech in Wisconsin. As a leader, I've been extraordinarily impressed with him. He's got a competitive primary coming up and we've got to make sure we get him across the finish line, this primary is August 11. Then returning to the show, I’m joined by Congressman Mark Pocan of the 2nd District of Wisconsin. He just returned from Cuba. And if you’ve been following the news, Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been going full speed ahead to demonize and propagandize against Cuba. It’s insane that they’re getting away with it. I’m going to read the statement released in response by Rep. Pocan, and it’s remarkable. The Trump regime is laying the groundwork to invade Cuba. I’ll be talking to Rep. Pocan about it because I think most Americans have no idea of the history of blockade and injustice that the US government has imposed upon Cuba. Congressman Mark Pocan is somebody I’ve admired for a long time because of his principal stances on human rights. He’s been at the forefront of condemning the genocide in Gaza and being unapologetic about it. He’s an example of a Democratic member of Congress doing things right, leading with courage and being fierce and relentless about it. That is the kind of leadership that we need.The Qasim Rashid Show has now surpassed 315,000 downloads.

The GOP's Communist Smear, Rising Anti-Muslim Hate, and Dems Surge in Polls
I went live on THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali to talk about the two positions that will get anyone crushed by the Democratic establishment faster than anything else: criticizing Israel’s occupation, and criticizing billionaires. Notice any candidate who takes a real stand on either of those two planks, and watch how fast the full weight of the party comes down on them. That’s Zohran Mamdani. That’s Abdul El-Sayed, who isn’t even a democratic socialist, just an economic populist who says no money to Israel and no money to Egypt, and is still facing $40-50 million in AIPAC-affiliated spending, funded by the same right-wing billionaires who bankroll Trump and the Republican Party. Let’s Address This.Watch our full live interview above. We get into a lot more: the acceptable anti-Islam hate running through Fetterman’s and Randy Fine’s comments this week, the ADL’s own numbers on where antisemitism actually comes from, Elon Musk telling The Economist flat out that he’s against Muslims, and the NDAA vote that just handed the Pentagon another blank check. Plus Just Win Humanity’s 1,000-mile march for voting rights.Thank you Lisa Joy 🏳️🌈, Cindy Villanueva, Deeanna Burleson, Noble Blend, Christina Reamy, and many others for tuning into my live video with THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali!

Episode 230: Austin Ahlman's Independent Run for Congress & Sean Vitka on Privacy
On Episode 230 of The Qasim Rashid Show:My first guest is Austin Ahlman, running for U.S. Congress in Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District as an independent against the corporate oligarchies out there destroying our economies. Austin shares his family's story, and explains why his working-class roots as the son of meatpackers—and Nebraska's fierce independent tradition—are why he's become the presumptive challenger to corporate Republican incumbent Mike Flood.Then I’m joined by Sean Vitka, Executive Director of Demand Progress, to discuss Fourth Amendment privacy. As we see the rise of AI, Palantir, and the surveillance state, there’s a real lack of information on how to protect yourself. We break down the major Supreme Court ruling that dropped last week, a 5-4 decision protecting your location data from warrantless geofence surveillance, and what it would have meant for all of us if it had gone the other way.MILESTONE ALERT: I am thrilled to announce that the Qasim Rashid Show has just surpassed 306,000 downloads!

Episode 228: Menstrual Justice, Media Independence, and the Fight for Democracy
On Episode 228 of The Qasim Rashid Show:We’ve got a fascinating show with guests I’ve never had before and topics I’ve never discussed before — and one of these topics is in desperate need of more frequent discussion: menstrual health. I have the privilege of learning more about it from an extraordinary young woman, Manju Bangalore — a reproductive health scientist, astronaut-in-training, and social impact leader working at the intersection of science, menstrual justice, and culture. She is the founder of Operation Period, a Gen Z-led nonprofit advancing menstrual freedom through policy, education, and systems-level change. And she is currently training for a pioneering research spaceflight to study menstruation in microgravity. This conversation will open your eyes.Our next guest is a journalist and media personality out of San Diego you need to know: Heather Delaney Reese.

Episode 227: On the Road in Michigan — Plus Atima Omara on How Black Women Built Our Democracy
On Episode 227 of The Qasim Rashid Show:I had the joy of sitting down with Atima Omara — Democratic strategist, organizer, and author of the powerful new book The Instigators. Her book tells the critical history of Black women who put their lives on the line, through slavery and Jim Crow and beyond, to build the democracy we have today. Her argument is urgent: when we center Black women’s leadership in politics and in power, policy gets better for everyone—and studies of state legislatures back that up.Four Important Conversations in MichiganIn this episode, I also took the show on the road to Michigan to meet with some of the most prolific progressive candidates trying to fix our democracy. I sat down with:Dr. Abdul El Sayed—running for U.S. Senate, UAW-endorsed, and the only candidate in this race championing universal healthcare. Dr. El Sayed makes the case that an Arab Muslim running on working people’s values isn’t a liability—it’s exactly what this moment demands. State Rep Donavan McKinney—running for U.S. Congress in Michigan’s 13th District—Rep McKinney faces a corrupt, corporate Democrat self-funding his campaign and completely detached from the working people he’s supposed to represent. William Lawrence—running for U.S. Congress in Michigan’s 7th District against corporate-funded opponents, and outraising both of them combined from voters in his own district. Eli Savit — running for Michigan Attorney General, a Jewish American, prolific lawyer, and brilliant progressive mind who has been on the right side of history on all the things we care about. Michigan is a swing state, and in 2028, we desperately need an AG who’s actually going to protect the democratic process.Thank you for tuning in to the Qasim Rashid Show.
