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.

Most socialist electeds and candidates are publicly rejecting the defund/abolish police & prisons demands. That makes sense: those demands are counterproductive and weigh the socialist movement down. @_ericblanc spoke well to this on WNYC this week. wnyc.org/browse/shows/episode/simplecast/e...Mostrar mais

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. jacobin.com/2026/08/bronfenbrenner-unions-...

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: jacobin.com/2026/08/carceral-minimalism-po...Mostrar mais

Come to Crown Heights tonight to help Providence elect a socialist mayor.

Very happy to have labor organizer and strategist Chris Brooks starting as a columnist for Jacobin. Read his first piece reflecting on his time at the UAW: jacobin.com/2026/02/fain-uaw-labor-organiz...

Zohran Mamdani is very carefully threading the needle between conciliation and confrontation with Gov. Kathy Hochul. He knows he needs her cooperation to implement his agenda, but he's refusing to back off of his demand that Albany tax the rich. jacobin.com/2026/01/mamdani-nyc-budget-tax...Mostrar mais

just learned that Kyrsten Sinema has a PhD in "justice studies"

For me, the hardest part of 2020 wasn't just the unprecedented misery & death—it was that my hopes for winning a decent world were raised higher than ever before through Bernie Sanders's campaign, then unceremoniously smashed to bits as we instantly transitioned to death &amp…Mostrar mais

This is a very disturbing story. In Spokane, local police snatched a @DemSocialists chapter co-chair off the street, threw him in a van, detained him for over a day, then tried to get him to talk to federal agents. www.huffpost.com/entry/jeremy-logan-spokan...Mostrar mais

Happy 1-year anniv. to arguably the single best thing to come out of Bernie's '20 campaign, this tweet. I liked it so much that I turned it into several thousand stickers and mailed them to hundreds of you. Sanders's campaign apparently noticed and then released their own version

I was crying over the death of @_michaelbrooks before I read @sunraysunray's obituary. Just got worse after I read it. On both a political and personal level, Michael Brooks is irreplaceable. jacobinmag.com/2020/07/remembering-our-fri...

The concept of “white fragility” is good for encouraging a small number of white people with master’s degrees to commit to an unending process self-flagellation, but it’s not useful in substantively fighting racism and bringing about a better world

If enough liberal op-ed writers browbeat us socialists enough times, we will definitely get enthusiastically behind Joe Biden. Not sure we’ve been scolded enough yet to reach that point, though, so keep the finger-wagging coming, guys! www.nytimes.com/2020/05/13/opinion/sociali...Mostrar mais

I have arrived at the famous part of Anthony Bourdain’s ‘A Cook’s Tour’ where he writes “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands” and am obligated to share that paragraph in full

If the crisis is so severe that we need a mortgage freeze, why wouldn't we also need a rent freeze?

It’s time: Elizabeth Warren needs to drop out. jacobinmag.com/2020/03/its-time-to-drop-ou...

The author of this piece was on a singleminded mission to portray Chapo as vulgar demagogues inciting violence, w/ the intention of trying to force the Sanders campaign to disavow them. Bernie shouldn’t fall for it and you, dear reader, shouldn’t either. www.nytimes.com/2020/02/29/us/politics/ber...Mostrar mais

Hey look: it’s the book that @meaganmday and I wrote, hot off the presses.

What if Bernie Sanders wins every single state’s primary/caucus?

I just took a flight from Chicago to NYC, wearing a Bernie hat that I now see is endowed with incredible powers: — talked to a United worker for 15 mins about how he supports Bernie for 2 kids in college — got a “Bernie?! That’s my guy” from a TSA agent — most incredibly....

In the wake of the Culinary leadership’s attack on Bernie Sanders and Medicare for All, rank-and-file members of UNITE HERE are circulating this petition in support of Bernie and M4A. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeW1fhTsi...Mostrar mais

A bus driver tonight saw me, wearing a Bernie Sanders winter hat, pop out of a 7-11 on Halsted and try to flag him down halfway between stops. He stopped the bus immediately, opened the door, and yelled, “I had to stop for Bernie!”

i'm running out of items to buy in the Bernie store. may be forced to buy the Bernie dog collar. i don't have a dog

what's getting lost in all the hoopla around the Iowa caucus is that Bernie Sanders won

The Bernie campaign just released their own numbers “due to the failure of the Iowa Democratic Party to release results tonight and in the interest of full transparency.” They have Bernie winning.

Third door knocked in Iowa — just got a caucus commit card. 🙌 From a college student who said she didn’t know enough about politics to vote (!). We talked for a long time about Bernie’s plans for Medicare for All and eliminating student debt. By the end, she was ready to caucus

If worker pay was pegged to productivity gains since 1968, a full-time minimum wage worker would be earning $48,000 annually today. This is mind-blowing. It is a fact that should make all of us very angry. jacobinmag.com/2020/1/higher-minimum-wage-...

I don’t know what’ll happen w/ the others in the house. But I went from a frustrating convo w/ a guy who didn’t see any point to engaging w/ politics to getting that same guy slightly excited abt Bernie & his brother committing to caucus. Hopefully they’ll talk to the other 5…Mostrar mais

story from canvassing for Bernie in Muscatine, Iowa: I knocked on a door w/ 7 voters listed. 30-something guy answered. Said he’s not political, never votes. I engaged for a while, played all the hits: M4A, wiping out student debt, immigrant rights, etc. Nothing seemed to stick.

had a long convo in Spanish w/ an old Salvadoran couple who moved to the US nearly 4 decades ago once the civil war began. They were generally supportive, but after I explained his history opposing US intervention in El Salvador, they committed to caucus for him—and gave me tacos

I don't think waging war on Elizabeth Warren over the obvious lie she leveled against Bernie will help him win. But I also don't think she or her supporters can expect Sanders and his supporters to not be incensed at such a cynical and transparently dishonest move on her part.

Honestly Elizabeth Warren supporters should feel insulted that her campaign is trying to drag the primary discussion away from burning issues like the barbarity of our for-profit health system/incoming nightmare of climate change/crushing student debt to this absolute non-story

Elizabeth Warren's defenders latch onto non-issues like the dancing thing and try to blow them up into a major conflagration b/c they can't dispute that Bernie is a stronger candidate on every substantive policy issue and has a more compelling theory of how social change happens

It's hard to believe anyone would be mad at @AOC for pointing out that anywhere but the United States, she and Joe Biden wouldn't be in the same party. This is an objectively true fact.

Bernie saying he was wrong to vote for the invasion of Afghanistan, incredible

universal versus means-tested social welfare programs

The idea that Bernie is antisemitic is absurd, obviously, so it’s a fringe talking point rn. But mark my words: you’re going to hear more accusations of antisemitism, sexism, racism, etc against Bernie. Don’t fall for it. Recognize them for the cynical, dishonest attacks they are

It sucks to eat shit. But imagine how many times someone like Bernie Sanders has eaten shit politically over his life. If he had given up the 1st time, or the 2nd time, or the 100th time, he wouldn't be playing the key role that he is in the resurgent left movement in the US.

The endorsement of Joe Biden by John Kerry offers us a timely reminder that if Joe Biden is the nominee against Donald Trump in 2020, Trump is going to win
