When someone who is financially comfortable works to build a world where no one is deprived of what they need, that's a good thing. What's the alternative? Them basking in and fiendishly hoarding and protecting their wealth because it's their birthright? I don't want that. 5.7K views · 170 likes · 14 reposts · 5 replies 22 Aug 2026 @micahuetricht @_ericblanc You and I spent a day locked up in a cell together along with hundreds of other people that day. That’s the system you’d want to defend when we know the extent of misery it causes? Why would we lead with the rhetoric that better things aren’t possible? 1.3K views · 104 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies 21 Aug 2026 @micahuetricht @_ericblanc I really hope you guys lose and go belly up, so actual socialists can build something new out of the wreckage. At this point there is zero reason to think a so-called “DSA” president would be better than aButtigieg or Harris.

That makes sense: those demands are counterproductive and weigh the socialist movement down. @_ericblanc spoke well to this on WNYC this week. https://t.co/6BLdywv7sR 86.6K views · 126 likes · 13 reposts · 70 replies 21 Aug 2026 Kate Bronfenbrenner, the longtime labor scholar who retired from Cornell this year, really is an unsung hero of the contemporary labor movement. Happy to have @alexnpress profile her today in Jacobin. https://t.co/vnOG5uLRzy 4.2K views · 29 likes · 2 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 @micahuetricht Carceral minimism is extremely weak tea, logically incoherent, and flies in the face of decades of research about the true functional nature of police and prisons. 4K views · 152 likes · 17 reposts · 3 replies 10 Aug 2026 @micahuetricht Mamdani won on a clear platform of not hiring more police and shifting a bunch of their work to the Dept of Community Safety. That's a great and winning program. I, for one, never advocated that any candidate go around promoting "abolish the police." 1.3K views · 40 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies 10 Aug 2026 The US carceral system is a horror show, but socialist electeds like Zohran Mamdani and the Left as a whole have found out the hard way that rhetoric about abolishing the police and prisons isn't the way forward. Paul Heideman proposals a different way: https://t.co/YbUpUwq4MQ 30.8K views · 68 likes · 8 reposts · 17 replies 10 Aug 2026 I spent a significant chunk of 2020 reading and thinking about Mike Davis.
