@PhilipOtto11 Correct, as Lula himself has often generously acknowledged. Many of the US left pretend this didn't happen because it was another example of my reporting provoking attempts to imprison me, and acknowledging that destroys their self-image as fake radicals and their lies about me: https://t.co/1d4RRnA6fX — PolitiTweet.org

@dogooderjohn I've not only repeatedly commented on it, but just produced a 30-minute report on Brazil that heavily features reporting on this STF censorship: https://t.co/x56NOz0nfH — PolitiTweet.org

As for Bolsonaro: he left Brazil on Friday for the US. He appears to be in a form of self-exile in Orlando, where he is staying at the home of former MMA fighter José Aldo (many MMA fighters, like many soccer stars such as Neymar, supported Bolsonaro): https://t.co/xy8VYzI4hb — PolitiTweet.org

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 As of 1 pm ET today, Lula da Silva is the new President of Brazil, having been inaugurated for a four-year term for the third time (2002 and 2006 were the first two). Four years ago at this time, Lula was in prison as Jair Bolsonaro was sworn in. — PolitiTweet.org

One of this generation's greatest journalists, Julian Assange - who has broken more historic stories than most corporate journalists combined - will soon complete his 4th year in a high-security prison, as punishment for that journalism. May 2023 be the year he is finally free. https://t.co/j9Hih9aWGo — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing pictures of the kids who spray-painted such a beautiful tribute to David, not far from where he grew up: https://t.co/PNiKaZUvmH — PolitiTweet.org

I'm so grateful to @Dieguinho and @ongcriadefavela -- the NGO that Diego leads which @davidmirandario and I created in Jacarezinho, where David grew up -- for distributing baskets for hundreds of families for the New Year, in David's honor. "Força David" = "Stay Strong David" ❤️ — PolitiTweet.org

@c_neuneu No, he's still in ICU. Friday will complete five months. He's on a slow curve of improvement but with no guarantees yet. But his strength, along with a very dedicated team, is what has enabled him to make it this far, and it's what gives us ongoing hope for his full recovery.🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

The extreme difficulty our family has faced over the last half of the year, and continues to face, has been manageable and endurable only because we've stayed as close as possible. Suffering can contain gifts within it. And it teaches you in the most visceral way what matters. https://t.co/eTHnYxwGRQ — PolitiTweet.org

And for our last show of the year, we reviewed the most important stories we covered in 2022, identified the common themes and power dynamics driving them, and explored what to expect in 2023. Our live show will return on Monday, Jan. 2, at 7pm ET: https://t.co/rGNCLJ1U1P — PolitiTweet.org

For our @SystemUpdate_ program last week, we produced a 30-minute report on the latest developments in Brazil, including why it was very unlikely any such military intervention would happen, and explained the censorship crisis from the Supreme Court: https://t.co/ARuBJ27Jne — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Bolsonaro today condemned anyone planning violence for Lula's Sunday inauguration, then took the presidential plane to Miami where he's expected to remain for weeks or longer. All this has disappointed many supporters who hoped he'd lead a military intervention to stay in power. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A handful of "reporters" at NBC and the WashPost -- you can guess exactly who -- became friends with @Esqueer_ over Twitter because they have the same politics, then christened her an "online expert" - showing the utter bullshit of these fake credentials. https://t.co/kjzsBH5mup — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The people who spread the most disinformation -- most casually, gleefully and destructively -- are the people who claim to be "disinformation experts" and who insist the internet must be censored to ban what they decree to be "disinformation," as they spread it more and more. https://t.co/FJVx6Sh5cw — PolitiTweet.org

@ChacunSonDegout @elonmusk @kattenbarge The way it works in left-liberal politics is you lose your status as a "member of a marginalized group" if you deviate from Dem Party orthodoxy. So Thiel is gay but not 🌈: the same way Biden said anyone who isn't sure they'll vote for him "ain't Black." https://t.co/RZkdshSZbW — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@elonmusk @kattenbarge That's the thing: corporate journalists' lies are not only brazen but boring. That's why nobody watches. But I will admit: NBC's insinuation that Thiel was traveling around the world to frequent Tate's webcam ladies is hilarious, though even there, the humor is unintentional. — PolitiTweet.org

@knowmiun @AGHamilton29 Not only is it a complete lie to claim I own any part of Rumble let alone control its budget, it's also a lie about Thiel. The founder and CEO of Rumble since 2013, @chrispavlovski, owns 85% of the voting shares. Thiel is at most a minority investor, like he is in FB. I'm not. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AGHamilton29 That's the most amazing part: They instantly self-victimization upon any criticism: it's "harassment" that "unleashes hatred," etc. But they feel free to attack and defame anyone. They can't recognize the satire: "you're inciting homophobic and anti-Semitic hatred against me!" https://t.co/4sQN33uyvR — PolitiTweet.org

@DisInfoChron I make that exact point constantly, including here 3 days ago: https://t.co/2Z3gW162OY — PolitiTweet.org

One of the funniest examples was how Antifa attacked protesters against vaccine mandates. "Obey the health officials!," demanded the Anarchists. Here one tries to tattle on Chaya Raichik that she trespassed on sacred "restricted ground" at the Capitol.✊ https://t.co/1DN4vfe4h7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Left-liberal commentators have to dance around this fact. Because distrust of CIA/FBI/NSA was a staple of that faction's politics for decades, they can't explicitly admit they now trust them or see them as benign. But they do, yet still try to posture as anti-authoritarian. https://t.co/QvfMei02zQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the most significant changes in US politics is that the left-liberal faction of the Dem Party has completely renounced distrust of and concern over CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. They - correctly - perceive those agencies as their allies and thus benign, even benevolent. Meanwhile: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And while we're on the topic of media outlets paying bad people, NBC/MSNBC pay a small army of war criminals, CIA goons, FBI officials, career liars from every US Security State agency. NBC employees are among the last people on the planet to credibly condemn others for this. https://t.co/8yMafWi982 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These media outlets always whine that the public no longer trusts them, no longer regards them as legitimate, harbors intense hatred for them, turns to independent sources for news. They never ask what caused this. *They* caused it, with lies like these, and it's all deserved. https://t.co/OTNNY336Xz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Now obviously, if a real news organization saw one of its reporters spreading such a blatant lie - I own or run Rumble and paid Andrew Tate - they'd force her to retract it. But NBC knows its liberal audience *wants* lies about partisan enemies. Same reason none retracted this: https://t.co/AFqdUZl8oG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The most prominent-on-the-internet NBC "reporters" - @BrandyZadrozny, @oneunderscore__, @kattenbarge -- are indistinguishable from #Resistance activists. They don't even try to hide it. NBC hires only Security State operatives or Dem activists. And they lie compulsively. — PolitiTweet.org
