Qasim, you would be an excellent President. trump can change the laws, then so can we. No more requirement of being American born to be permitted to run for the position. When there are qualified and knowledgeable people like you, we have to make exceptions because of excellence.
Have to admit you have come a long way. You have also been through much. As far as I know in these horrendous times, my friend and I will always support you. You have unsurpassed talent at communicating , perhaps in the league of AOCAnd Bernie. However, never let ego get in your way because ego is always a gifted person’s downfall. Maybe it’s your beautiful smile.😊
Just spit balling here. If you did decide or could run, you could reach out to groups like Indivisible, Move on, 50501 because I think there are a lot of us, especially now, in Illinois that would work really hard for you. We need a non-corporate Democrat, a person that is just authentic, not a BSer and fights for the people. We have to primary ones like Foster, Schumer, Jeffries, and the list goes on. I think a lot of folks are sick of the bullshit from both sides of the aisle. I think that’s why people just love Rep Crockett, AOC and Bernie. I don’t know if you know Steve Schmidt from the Warning on Substack but he’s as authentic, patriotic and real to me, and I am a liberal Democrat and just love him and what he stands for. I don’t agree with some things he’s said but boy, he’s sure is wonderful and would be a great strategist for you. Well, I’m sorry if I’m out of line with my ideas but I’m a boomer and I just don’t give a shit anymore what I say to who. It’s an all hands on deck and all opinions on deck kind of time. Fascism. Hope you’ll at least think about it. 🇺🇸👍💙😊
Thank you for your first year. I would like to up my subscription to an increased donation for your services. However, the Substack system you are using does not seem to let me update my subscription. Hitting the subscribe button only confirms that I am subscribed. Could there be something that I am missing?

Congratulations on your many accomplishments, Qasim. I have learned so much from you, and appreciate your truthful writing and reporting. It is an honor to be with you.
So glad I found your steady voice in these ‘stacks.
I have a favor to ask: is there an index or list or ranking of the world’s most democratic countries? (and/or worst autocracies?) I’d love to know where the US fell on such a scale during the Biden Admin (after COVID) vs now, in the first 100 days of “the troubles”. Can you point me in the direction of such a list?
Thank you. Quite interesting to see who Trump is threatening (the most free countries) and cozying up to (the most autocratic and un-free countries.) But we knew that.
Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishments and 1st anniversary!! 🥳 Please consider, if possible, running for Dick Durbin’s senate seat. You’d be a Senator!!!!👍💪🇺🇸💙💯✊
