@equalityAlec There is no left in the US. Just one capitalist war machine of oppression and death with two faces. 405 views · 17 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 28 Aug 2026 The folks at Jacobin magazine (a self described socialist magazine for the left) seem to think the left should not be talking about stuff like this: https://t.co/TSg5qkDFbB 4.1K views · 108 likes · 19 reposts · 3 replies 28 Aug 2026 This is one consequence of the left not being clear about reducing budgets for state repression. Every Democratic Party politician going on about “training” and “body cams” and every Jacobin author vaguely saying the left should not talk about repressive budgets leads to this: ht 42.3K views · 1.2K likes · 399 reposts · 15 replies 28 Aug 2026 NEW: Police are spending hundreds of thousands of opioid settlement dollars on Flock cameras and other AI-powered license plate readers. https://t.co/qsGfGVnhuo 183.2K views · 709 likes · 286 reposts · 14 replies 27 Aug 2026 I cannot express how dangerous it is for the left to embrace surveillance, cops, and prisons. Jacobin's editor doing so repeatedly should alarm anyone who cares about a more just world. His refusal of private/public invitations to discuss it openly reflects poorly on Jacobin. 31.2K views · 816 likes · 185 reposts · 10 replies 26 Aug 2026 It was a pleasure to sit for this interview about the strategic and moral catastrophe awaiting us all if the left abandons its focus on combating the repressive apparatus of the state. 7.6K views · 328 likes · 89 reposts · 1 replies 26 Aug 2026 The people writing confidentially in Jacobin that the left should vaguely embrace existing policing and police budgets are banking on readers having no idea what the policing bureaucracy actually does and why. 20.3K views · 586 likes · 166 reposts · 3 replies 24 Aug 2026 State fusion centers want the same tool DHS used to go spy on labor unions and activists groups in Minnesota: https://t.co/F0hdIhf2mM https://t.co/2oitJRmEvD 22.4K views · 73 likes · 26 reposts · 0 replies 17 Aug 2026 @micahuetricht Micah: would you be willing to host a debate about this incoherent article? It’s important to discuss where it is making fine points and where it goes entirely off the rails. I think a good faith discussion would be illuminating for the left. 33.5K views · 534 likes · 20 reposts · 8 replies 11 Aug 2026 Watch this video featuring our work @CivRightsCorps to learn about how our case will free almost 20,000 people from jail every year in Houston, Texas. 0 views · 5.3K likes · 2K reposts · 230 replies 30 Oct 2019 A judge doubled this woman’s bail because she said ‘yeah’ instead of ‘yes’ https://t.co/AoShFsznes 0 views · 3.9K likes · 1.8K reposts · 192 replies 30 Oct 2019
