SEIU Local 99 in Los Angeles, representing teachers and other school workers, has fired Chris Lehane because he took a job consulting for the producers, and against the writers, with regard to the writers’ strike.

I think that this sort of solidarity is what Democrats lack. FWIW, I will not support any primary candidate who employs Mr. Lahane. He is a strike breaker.

If we want our control of congress, and hopefully the White House in a year and a month, to mean anything, then we have to impress upon the national Democratic party that solidarity means something.
