"The Trump administration is the alliance of right-wing authoritarians with big money. That alliance needs to be broken. Part of how we do that is to break the alliance of big money with the Democratic Party, so that we have a pro-worker, anti-billionaire party," says @repcasar.bsky.social.

republicans operate according to a moral economy where wealthy oligarchs and polluters deserve the collected prosperity of the nation because of their wealth. the job of the rest of us is to toil for their benefit.
Seriously: Who the fuck benefits from this, besides Joe Craft and his coal mining interests and a couple of big gas producers? Republicans are screwing over their constituents, American business interests, and our country's future in an epic way here.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

What’s so aggravating thing about establishment Dems backing Cuomo is that Cuomo is a bad partisan. He let Republicans gerrymander the State Senate.
Setting policy aside (which you shouldn’t), that itself should be a dealbreaker.

Should Democrats take money from someone whose factory violated the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters? Should they welcome someone who operated a racist workplace? Who violated NLRB rules? Who committed securities fraud? Who lied to get a government loan? Who ripped off green subsidies?
