NEW CLASS -- THIS time with the right version of @equalityAlec on The Punishment Bureaucracy. Thanks Alec! Sorry for the error last week, friends -- but you don't want to miss this convo 🌹and don't forget to share, like and subscribe! buzzsprout.com/2021076/episod…
sorry to rehash my article on this from 9 months ago but if Dem leadership isnt willing to (1) demand massive budget cuts from DHS and (2) hold up other funding until they get it, then none of this posturing means anything. Tinkering won't fix the paramilitary brown shirt problem
The shooting of a New Yorker by ICE agents today is deeply disturbing, especially amid reports that a child was in the car when shots were fired. I’m relieved the man is receiving medical care and the child was unharmed. But enough is enough. New Yorkers deserve the full truth
There are a number of "socialists" writing in places like Jacobin who have been promoting a pro-police agenda. The vague, careless way that this is discussed, even in some circles on the left, has no function other than to support stuff like this.
You can read the full investigation here, and you can get a tiny glimpse into the world of surveillance, profiteering, and overriding focus of U.S. policing on crushing any remotely progressive social movements. thisisbydesign.com/how-mpd-built-…
THREAD. Did you know that Minneapolis police deployed 101 personnel to a 7-person vigil held one morning at Renee Good's memorial? The cops generated $1.92 million in overtime cash for themselves.
I was honored to consult on this urgently needed accountability project. It's a list of the 20 Biden era officials most responsible for genocide in Gaza and a pledge to not hire, promote or otherwise platform those who had a role in the destruction of Gaza. Follow if you can.
Write up by @prem_thakker of our campaign to hold Biden officials accountable for their support for war crimes in Gaza. Please read and follow if you can: Biden’s Genocide Accomplices Targeted by New Accountability Campaign zeteo.com/p/exclusive-bi…
The book really is, amazing
At this vital time in understanding propaganda and authoritarianism, a reminder that we have free copies of Copaganda for teachers, students, and anyone who sends books to people in prison. If you want copies, link is in next post! My grandma says the book is amazing.

It has been the honor of my career to have worked with so many beautiful, relentless, kind, brilliant people to fight against some of the most monstrous and senseless state violence and profiteering. I'm so excited for the next 10 years @CivRightsCorps.
We have also won $10,000,000s for the most vulnerable people in our society, pioneered political education and narrative strategies to change the way our society thinks about mass incarceration and family separation, and built innovative solutions to make our communities safer.
THREAD. This past week marks the 10-year anniversary of Civil Rights Corps. We have pioneered landmark civil rights litigation that has liberated hundreds of thousands of people from illegal confinement in jail cells.
This is an important response by @tempest_mag to the recent nonsense spewed by “pro-police socialists” in Jacobin magazine and other venues: tempestmag.org/2026/09/in-def…
Event is at 6:30pm in room 401-A:
If you are in D.C., come join us at the MLK Library on Monday for this fantastic event. We'll be talking about propaganda, repression, and what we can do about it together.
Next session! Copaganda with @equalityAlec! actionnetwork.org/events/copagan…
@thirdintl @micahuetricht It’s funny that even a non debate discussion to understand and clarify his views and vague/superficial public statements would be useful. Embarrassing to avoid any kind of rigorous discussion.
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:
Amen.
