Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.
What a fucking dumbass. Yes, dems suck. But at least Lina Khan was head of the FTC and starting to change how antitrust laws are enforced. Did he delete this post after Trump was inaugurated with 3 of the richest tech billionaires?

GOOD EGG!
It's also so fucking funny when Trump turns on someone. Can't wait to see it happen with Vance

They weren't welcomed with open arms in the north, but were rather ghettoized and used as a source of cheaper labor
