Let’s dive into this week’s podcast.

On Episode 207 of The Qasim Rashid Show:

On THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali, I share reflections from my weekend protesting the ground in Minneapolis, where I witnessed both the deep trauma communities are living with under ICE terror and the powerful resilience they are building in response. I detail why Minnesota has become a target for the Trump regime, and what its organizing model teaches us about confronting fascism with collective power across race, faith, and class.

I also lay out why accountability of Republicans and corporate Democrats alike, abolishing ICE, and rejecting genocide abroad are not radical demands but the absolute floor for justice at home.
