Qasim, I have to ask you how you stay mentally healthy through all of this. As a non-white Muslim immigrant, so much of this stuff must hit closer to home for you than it does for me, a white Christian natural born citizen, yet my mental health seems like it's suffering from reading about all this crap the government is doing. Maybe I obsess too much, being autistic, but you are living right in the middle of these issues on a day-to-day basis. How do you manage?

Community. Prayer. Service. Exercise. Family. Repeat. When I’m online I’m focused. When I’m away from my phone/computer I’m present in whatever I’m doing. Community goes a long way.

I'm glad you mentioned that you've been working out at your Substack live event because I was beginning to worry that you were wearing yourself out working so hard. Not for nothing; I hope you don't forget to schedule date nights. No offense, but being married to you, being, shall we say, so hardworking and dedicated, can't be easy! 😂

Dep of Education just got it's dose of musk. Fiscal year 20-21 for MA. it was 8.7% of our education budget. Our weed and wealth taxes can absorb that. Red States don't have that back up.

Liberals in red states should be encouraged to apply for school voucher programs and flood their systems for that money...

just keep glitching their systems.

Also encourage everyone who can afford it to buy LIFE insurance policies which will effect our healthcare insurance. Renters insurance also. They will be forced to rethink a few things....

Dear Qasim, Thank you so much for your constant battle against the Drumpf/Muskrat axis. I am 87, so I remember, and they remind me of, the Germany-Japan axis of the late 1930's. If you need a brief morale boost look up the magnificent video of the French Resistance called "The Battle Of The Rails". Lots of Nazi stuff like tanks and guns getting derailed and crashing doen long hills to complete destruction. Very heartening.
