Do you understand that ICE = fascism?

ICE fascists deported Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz and his wife, Glendy Marisol González de la Cruz. They tried desperately to reunite in Guatemala.

This week they were found gagged, hands and feet bound, with signs of abuse. They were shot to death in a sugarcane field. And their 14-month-old daughter, Giovanni, was found crying next to her mother, trying to wake her up.😓

This is fascism. It is evil. It is funded by our tax dollars. ABOLISH & PROSECUTE ICE.

Last week, a 17-year-old child named Anthoneil Williams II called 911 while in distress. Austin Police arrived, and executed him in cold blood with a barrage of more than 20 rounds.

Law enforcement does not protect us because the US Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that police have no legal duty to protect the American people from harm or even death.

In today’s article, I share the receipts, and the solutions on how we actually protect ourselves: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/austin-police-kill-a-17-year-old

One answer no pro unlimited police budget sycophant will admit is that SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that police have no legal duty to protect us. None.

This sad fact is why we repeat that investing in public safety does not mean more police—it means more money for healthcare, education, housing, & social services. Safer communities come from investing in people—not punishments.

All the evidence repeatedly proves this. You would have to be in a bootlicking cult to think or argue otherwise.

3/3

I’ve been thinking about the Austin Police murder of a Black child named Anthoneil Williams and I realized:

•Uvalde police cowered for 3 hours while an armed terrorist mass murdered children—because cops feared for their lives.

•But Austin police opened fire in 3 seconds to murder a child—because cops feared for their lives.

Someone explain why…

1/3

If there were 60 cases of immigrants committing sex crimes, with 2/3 of those crimes against children, Trump would order the mass execution of every immigrant in America.

But because its 60 DHS/ICE agents who have committed sex crimes against children—silence. Corporate media hardly covers it.

Horrifying report by the Ohio Immigrant Alliance of 60 PDFile ICE and BP Agents—that we know of: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p1eygf2XQHesa7H347uswjkWLzUni_d8aDlHvJjiHvg/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Thanks to your support, we successfully launched our 1,000 Miles to Memphis march this weekend!

Here's my recap of our first day PLUS three ways you can get involved now with our efforts to register 100K voters in the South: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/update-on-1000-miles-to-memphis

I won't share the horrifying video, but Austin police killed a 17-year-old Black child who called 911 while in distress. Three cops fired more than two dozen rounds, killing him because they thought he had a gun.

It was a water bottle. The child was unarmed.

Austin PD is calling it "suicide by cop." No, it's murder in cold blood by cop. We must fund public safety, not just hire more cops. A mental health professional could have saved his life. The cops have been placed on administrative leave.

In the past 2 days of #1000Miles to Memphis I've walked nearly 60,000 steps. In two days! A privilege to march with amazing activists and civil rights leaders from all over our country.

Sign up at www.1000MilesToMemphis.com to march with us, register yourself and everyone you know to vote, and donate to our efforts to register 100K voters. Let's get it. ❤️✊🏽

This week, 6 Dems voted with MAGA to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

This does 2 horrifying things. It hands over a portion of the US military to Netanyahu—a man the ICC has indicted for war crimes.

And *this directly impacts every person reading this* it attaches Trump’s fascist SAVE Act to the bill, gutting voting rights for millions.

Tomorrow, we start a 1,000 mile march through the South to register 100K voters. We need you with us. Here's how:

https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/six-democrats-just-betrayed-us1000

In this election cycle Haley Stevens has:
•Misled voters about an Obama endorsement
•Misled voters with $50 MILLION in AIPAC dark money
•Misled voters with a fake Mike Rogers endorsement of Abdul El Sayed
•Misled voters that she's anti-corporate while hiring a Palantir contractor
•Misled voters about UAW support, forcing UAW to issue a C&D against her
•Misled voters that she's anti-ICE, while voting to thank ICE & give ICE $70B
•The audacity to claim Abdul El Sayed lacks transparency🤨

Absurd.

I won’t share the video of the public execution by police of a yet unnamed Black man in Madison, WI.

With four white Madison cops on him, one cop pulled out his firearm and shot the victim in the head at least three times at point blank range. This is a public execution. It is barbaric and indefensible. And it happened blocks away on the same street as in 2015 when a white cop shot and killed a Black man named Tony Robinson.

6 Democrats voted with MAGA to pass the NDAA 216-212. They are:
•Danny Davis (NC)
•Henry Cuellar (TX)
•Jared Golden (ME)
•Adam Gray (CA)
•Vicente Gonzalez (TX)
•Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA)

This NDAA hands over part of US military to Netanyahu AND attaches Trump’s fascist “SAVE Act” voter suppression bill. 6 Republicans voted with Democrats. If Hakeem Jeffries had kept the Dem caucus in line, the bill would have failed. Indefensible.
