Episode 237—David Morales's Fight to Cap Rent Hikes

On Episode 237 of The Qasim Rashid Show:I sat down with David Morales, Rhode Island state rep and candidate for mayor of Providence, about his plan to cap rent hikes at 4%—the same measure the current mayor vetoed after taking corporate real estate money. We also talked about the surge of ICE activity across Providence, and David laid out his plan to take legal action against these ICE fascists, pointing to Philadelphia's DA as proof the approach actually works.And I break down the math nobody in corporate media wants to talk about: as Luigi Mangione pled guilty to killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a new Yale study finds universal healthcare would save 100,000+ American lives a year—meaning roughly 171,000 people have died preventable deaths in the 624 days since Thompson's killing. As I said on air, a single murder by gun is illegal, but mass murder by pen is just increasing shareholder value.The Qasim Rashid Show has now surpassed 325,000 downloads.
