“Trump doesn't have any policies, he has whims. It scares the shit out of me.
The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy.

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.
