@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social why do you continue to state that Zoran M said “from the river to the sea”??? Let’s correct the record: Zohran Mamdani has not used this slogan himself, nor has he called for its adoption.

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.

From a friend & client who is the mayor of her upstate New York town. Over the past nine years, her team of community organizers flipped EVERY RED SEAT in the city and county to BLUE, culminating in last night's final tally.

The good news just keeps on coming.
