On Episode 245 of The Qasim Rashid Show:I sat down with Florida Representative Angie Nixon to discuss her special election campaign for the U.S. Senate, her endorsement from President Obama, and her efforts to hold her opponent accountable for redirecting $10 million in Medicaid funds away from sick children. We also broke down the importance of grassroots organizing, maintaining a politics of inclusion, and why electing a genuine community leader is vital to checking right-wing power.Next, I spoke with Gowri Ramachandran, Director of Elections and Security at the Brennan Center for Justice, about the mechanics of American democracy and the reality of election integrity. We examined how the decentralized structure of over 10,000 local jurisdictions protects our voting system, addressed viral election conspiracy theories across the political spectrum, and emphasized why public participation is essential to preserving our republic.Listen to the full episode here on Substack or watch our live interview on YouTube: Qasim Rashid is a human rights attorney, host of the Qasim Rashid Show, as well as Let’s Address This—a platform dedicated to human rights and the accountability that corporate media refuses to provide.

How Can I Protect My Vote?
Did Elon Musk’s Starlink steal the 2024 election? Did someone flip the vote count in key states? Will Trump send ICE to seize the ballots during midterms?You’ve likely heard these, and other similar questions sowing doubt into the integrity of our elections. That’s why, this week I spoke with Brennan Center expert and scholar Gowri Ramachandran on election integrity.As the aspiring dictator in the White House continues to try to undermine our elections, seed doubt into our election security, and push fascist pieces of legislation like the so-called SAVE Act, it’s more critical than ever before that we separate facts from fiction. Gowri and I discuss the facts about election security, why your votes really do count, and what we can do to ensure a successful midterm election.

A Story About A Jewish Friend
I don’t normally write pieces like this, but then again, Stuart Perelmuter isn’t a normal person—and I mean that as a compliment. Let me back up for a moment.Anyone who follows my work knows my commitment to universal human rights is absolute. Whether its in countering the systemic violence men are committing against women, the anti-immigrant rhetoric dominating our political discourse, the cruel and backwards ~600 anti-LGBTQ pieces of legislation proposed in the last year alone, the systemic racial injustices in our criminal justice system targeting Black and brown communities, or combatting the hatred towards Jewish and Muslim communities—I do not mince words when calling out these injustices.Human rights do not come with an asterisk.Recently my friend Stuart took an opportunity to address his congregation at his Synagogue on the topic of Israel and Palestine. I share his example not as an isolated circumstance, but of a narrative I’ve seen repeatedly from Jewish voices standing up against the injustices of the Israeli government. But, sadly, a narrative denied in corporate media too often. Unfortunately, messages of unity don’t drive clicks. I’m here to help change that.So, I requested Stuart’s permission to share his remarks above, because I believe more people need to hear him. Stuart shares the pain and suffering imposed upon Jews in the Holocaust, and draw parallels to Palestinian pain and suffering in Gaza. He does so not to ‘compare scars,’ but to exemplify the shared humanity we all have—Jewish or Palestinian, Black, brown, or white. His words come from a place of deep pain and deep love of all humanity. His remarks are full of pain, but also of hope. They’re a reminder of humanity in an inhumane time, and a lesson for anyone willing to listen. And this is why I hope you take a moment to listen.We can do better as humanity. We must be better as humanity. And we will do better as humanity—as long as we stand up for one another regardless of faith, color, or creed.Returning to my comment about what it means to be ‘normal’ this day in age. Here’s the thing—the “norms” of society is what has gotten us into this mess. The norms of access journalism. The norms of throwing some marginalized community under the bus for political or media gain. The normals of transactional humanity.To hell with these dehumanizing norms.It is far past time to discard those destructive norms, and instead build a new unapologetic vision of universal human rights. One in which no community is left behind, and every person’s inherent humanity is cherished and protected. And that new normal is what Stuart exemplifies with his comments and leadership. So yes, he is not normal by what is currently accepted as normal—because he demands that new vision of unapologetic universal humanity. Indeed, none of us should allow the current normalization of the atrocities we’re witnessing in real time. As a final thought, I often think about this fact: Islam and Judaism both share the beautiful teaching that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” What a beautiful and unifying message. My gratitude to Stuart for courageously speaking up as a Jewish person for his Palestinian siblings in humanity. Leadership matters, and Stuart exemplifies it every single day. May we continue the journey to collectively speak up for all humanity without any asterisks—as that is the truest path to save all humanity.Let's Address This with Qasim Rashid is a reader-supported publication.

Episode 244 — Imani Bashir and Ari Honarvar on the Intersection of the War
On Episode 244 of The Qasim Rashid Show:I sat down with Iranian scholar Ari Honarvar and activist Imani Bashir to examine the intersection of the ongoing illegal war against Iran and the genocide funded by the U.S. in Palestine. We discussed Imani's firsthand observations from occupied Palestine—including navigating checkpoints, witnessing settler colonization during the olive harvest, and experiencing the harsh realities of segregation. We also explored the parallels of state violence, the humanized experiences of communities under fire, and why true liberation must come from within rather than through Western war machines.Listen to the full episode here on Substack or watch our live interview on YouTube: Qasim Rashid is a human rights attorney, host of the Qasim Rashid Show, as well as Let’s Address This—a platform dedicated to human rights and the accountability that corporate media refuses to provide.

Episode 243 — Cornell’s Reckoning
On Episode 243 of The Qasim Rashid Show:We’ve got a painful but necessary conversation today. I’m talking about the horrific sexual assault allegations at Cornell University, the institution’s response, and what this case reveals about the systems that protect men while failing survivors.Since I wrote about Cornell, dozens of women have reached out describing almost identical experiences. This goes far beyond one university. And men, this conversation is especially for us. Saying “not all men” does nothing to stop the violence or hold anyone accountable.Listen to the full episode here on Substack or watch our live interview on YouTube: Qasim Rashid is a human rights attorney, host of the Qasim Rashid Show, as well as Let’s Address This—a platform dedicated to human rights and the accountability that corporate media refuses to provide.
