If Evangelicals want to know why people are leaving organized religion, it's because you excuse and elevate the objectively worst people as "God's chosen," while ridiculing the poor, marginalized, and downtrodden as sinners and lepers. And I'm talking to Evangelicals of all faiths.

Attacks on American Muslims are not happening in isolation. They are the result of years of normalized bigotry and a media ecosystem that has decided our safety is not newsworthy. And as someone who lived through the post-9/11 wave of anti-Muslim hate, I can say with clarity that what we are witnessing today is worse.

Anti-Muslim Hate Is At Critical Levels And Corporate Media Is Ignoring It

Social and governmental attacks on American Muslims are increasing rapidly—here's what you need to know Right wing Christian nationalists are ta...

BREAKING: U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. Now they're merely “potentially divisive.” White supremacy is structural in the United States, and every day under this fascist Trump regime it becomes more embedded in public policy. Genocide isn't "potentially divisive," it is horrific violence and must be condemned without exception. And MAGAs wonder why they're referred to as Nazis. smh

In Minnesota police set up a sting operation to catch child sex traffickers. They caught 16 men. No immigrants. No trans people. All US Citizen Men. One was an ICE fascist who said, "I'm ICE boys" when arrested, perhaps expecting to get special attention. He was arrested anyway. So much winning.

This week on The Qasim Rashid Show, I speak with First Deputy Mayor of New York City, Dean Fuleihan, on how he and Mayor Elect Mamdani will deliver on their promise of affordability. I also took a trip to LA to talk politics with Dara Starr Tucker, from Epstein files to poverty in the U.S. Thank you all for tuning in.

BREAKING: Senate unanimously passes bill to release Epstein files, sending it to Trump's desk to sign. House passed it 427-1 Senate passed it unanimously

DOJ is apparently ready to pay $50 MILLION in restitution to QAnon conspiracy theorist and convicted felon Michael Flynn. Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI and committed arguably treasonous acts. But he gets $50M. White supremacy is when a convicted white man can get restitution for committing crimes but innocent Latino Americans are getting tortured and deported on the mere accusation that they're undocumented. Horrific.

So to be clear: •Megyn Kelly is arguing that raping a 15 year old child isn't really rape •Former Rep Matt Gaetz raped a homeless 17-year-old child by exploiting her healthcare •South Carolina Judge James Gosnell has been caught with possession of child pornography. •Oklahoma Judge Susan Worthington freed a man named Jesse Butler despite video evidence of him raping 2 teen girls, nearly choking them to death. But we should fear Trans people & Immigrants?🧐 Every MAGA Accusation Is A Confession.

I'm a lawyer. I've written several books, half a dozen academic law review articles, I don't even know how many legal briefs, and literally thousands of OpEds. I say all this to show that I know the English language fairly well. And yet, I did not know until this week of the word "hebephilia," and I'm pretty dang sure it's because no one I've ever associated with has tried to "umm akshully" pedophilia by explaining how hebephilia is in any way "better." My God why is this even a discussion. smh

Matt Gaetz raped a 17 year old child after exploiting her healthcare needs for money and this is how the NY Times is framing it. "ended up having sex with powerful men" Literally whitewashing child rape. Corporate media is dead. Stop subscribing to it. This is beyond saving.
