Lina Khan is brilliant. In short, bigger is not better...monopolies mean more billionaires, more concentration of wealth & power, less innovation, suppression of wages, increased prices, food deserts, environmental exploitation, more corruption. Time for a change. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

And if you've never watched Lina Khan, I'd encourage you to check out @hcrichardson.bsky.social's interview with her last week. She's refreshing, whip-smart, and everything we need more of as a party: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydxk...

I write often about how private equity is destroying US healthcare. Lina Khan is a rare person who has used her position in power to fight back against private equity’s hold on the US economy. Very excited to see what she does in New York.

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

This is infuriating-assistant warden, supervisor, another supervisor and you are a member of Congress there to support your constituent ill with leukemia.

We’re in Day 36 of the government shutdown and ICE has said they are not taking visits from Members of Congress.

My constituent, Yari, is sick with leukemia and we are not getting answers. After some insisting, I was let in and I was with her for two hours.

Full recap soon.

Oh no, a politician that is young, energetic, speaks to what the people want, and genuinely wants to do good instead of control the people and get rich. The horror! (/s in case you couldn't tell)

By resisting surveillance and extraction and pursuing goals such as affordability, dignity, and justice, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani can show how technology can truly serve the people, writes Rebecca Williams. The first step, she says, is to protect immigrants.

Mamdani’s transiton team will be led by women, as opposed to the Trump regime which purged them in favor of incompetent and insecure Nazi frat boys.

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social.

"Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points.

40!

And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity—& still unapologetically dunking on Trump.

He is anti-MAGA w/o throwing people under the bus.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Lesson from last night: avoid conventional wisdom. Mamdani could have been like, "I'm just a rookie assemblyman. Should wait my turn, check in with Schumer and Jeffries to see when it's okay for me to move up." He had a better thought: "Fuck those guys."

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.
