Beyond that, right now the only people who take press freedom lectures from the US & UK seriously are their subservient press corps. All over the world, even despotic leaders laugh in the face of Western journalists who get sanctimonious about it: https://t.co/S2aGqZ0fHV — PolitiTweet.org

I doubt the Biden DOJ wants to bring Assange onto US soil to stand trial. It will foster major protests, be a huge distraction, and risk disclosure of sensitive secrets CIA wants to stay hidden. The goal was to keep him imprisoned as long as possible to break him in all ways. — PolitiTweet.org

GUARDIAN: The Biden Admin is being increasingly pressured to drop the persecution of Julian Assange -- by Australia's PM, by Brazil's new President-Elect, by the 5 major news outlets that partnered with Assange, by *every* press freedom group in the West: https://t.co/IJx5AIgAUW — PolitiTweet.org

@SChristyJones Every time I've posted about this, I've from from nurses even in the US about the need for blood and platelet donations. We're lucky to have the platform we have so David will likely get what he needs - though once he couldn't - but it's always good to donate. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Atnemip01 Obrigado! Estou confiante de que David conseguirá o que precisa. Temos sorte de termos esta plataforma pública e tantos para doar. Mas isso é um problema em quase todos os estados do Rio. Pergunte às enfermeiras da UTI e elas lhe dirão. Doar pode ajudar muitos outros também. — PolitiTweet.org

@lucasovie Sim, ouvi a mesma coisa com outros. Absurdo. Mas acho que é mais fácil doar plaquetas, que tb sempre este em estoque baixo. https://t.co/eNXJccfDgw — PolitiTweet.org

Pode ler nossa atualização completa aqui, que postamos ontem. Incluímos nas imagens as informações de como e onde doar sangue e plaquetas. É uma maneira fácil de salvar vidas e vai ajudar David e tantos outros pacientes na UTI do Rio. https://t.co/vn5lxofTHW — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Só para esclarecer: David mostrou algumas melhorias bem significativas nos últimos 10 dias, o que nos deixa mais otimistas do que nunca. O problema é que os bancos de sangue do Rio são perigosos com pouco sangue e plaquetas: que David e tantos precisam na UTI. Pfv, doe se puder. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jischinger Yes, but I think one also needs family with that -- something I didn't believe for many years but now do. I never wanted kids and one of the best things David ever did for me was spend years convincing me that I should. Don't know how I would have navigated this without them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Since we withdrew David's re-election campaign, I've posted fewer updates. But so many people care and ask. My last update (👇) largely applies, except he has very significant improvements lately which we hope and believe can finally lead to recovery.🙏 https://t.co/toFqCDuW8g — PolitiTweet.org

Weeks ago, our kids and I cleared a storage space in our house. We went and bought inexpensive stuff to turn it into a place where we do this daily. Using your breath to slow down your body and clear your mind - even for 15 minutes - provides spiritual strength: together or alone https://t.co/Zf1vj1IhSM — PolitiTweet.org

I want to share a personal note for those interested: The last 4 months of my life have been by far the most difficult, with my husband in ICU battling a life-threatening illness. I read this book years ago, and again now, and can't recommend it enough https://t.co/SxVJ75PaDF https://t.co/l0yqNaKecc — PolitiTweet.org

@TCSN_Live @CarlBeijer @adamjohnsonNYC @ShellenbergerMD LOL - "workers". The people I blamed were the most senior management and editors who aren't part of the union. I've vocally and repeatedly criticized Omidyar for all sorts of things. I'm just not going to lie and falsely say he interfered when he didn't: https://t.co/NyKdZ2nyKD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TCSN_Live @CarlBeijer @adamjohnsonNYC @ShellenbergerMD The people who fucked up the Intercept were standard Brooklyn liberals who became its senior editors, then turning it into a DNC messaging machine after their liberal friends were enraged TI reported on the WL emails in 2016. Pierre kept his promise to stay out of its reporting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Apocaloptimist5 @adamjohnsonNYC @ShellenbergerMD That was extremely glaring and obvious satire of how liberal journalists constantly equate criticisms with violence and claim it endangers them. One thing Twitter has taught me is there's a group of people too stupid ever to recognize satire no matter how blatant you make it. https://t.co/uGSu3OjTc3 — PolitiTweet.org

@Camila_Rocha I've been talking about it for at least 2 years in both English and Portuguese. One of the first times the Brazilian left really attacked me - besides when David left PSOL for PDT - was when I showed them that the international left (Chomsky/ACLU, etc) supports Monark's views. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's just no reasonable debate to be had that Big Tech censorship overwhelmingly favors US liberals and prejudices US conservatives. That's why the GOP hates Big Tech censorship, while Dems demand *more of it*. Liberals *want* both corporate *and state* censorship online: https://t.co/GpoWrZzSMw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@adamjohnsonNYC Virtually every mention of "free speech" is to degrade or malign it - especially over the last 6 years as your views have morphed into standard Dem Party fare that matches the liberal corporate media wing - and have been explicit you regard it as trivial. https://t.co/VSRTK1Ox4r — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@adamjohnsonNYC Can you provide some examples of Matt Taibbi -- clearly one of the people to whom you were referring, since I believe the only other "Substack guy" involved so far is @ShellenbergerMD -- where he pretended to support free speech but then violated that? Or me? — PolitiTweet.org

@Byron_McFadden Leading Dem politicians spread endless lies and disinformation about how the Biden archive came from Russia, to start with. They lied about numerous Russiagate fairytales: Steele Dossier and Alfa Bank. They lied about how COVID vaccines work. They use hate speech. Long list. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Last point: I've been referencing the extreme political censorship in Brazil. It's so radical even NYT is concerned: makes US and EU look like bastions of liberty. But much of the Brazilian left doesn't pretend. If you defend "free speech," they hear it as right-wing fascism.🇧🇷 https://t.co/TtqNgfRgPv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But there is one other important aspect. Dem Party loyalists and liberals used to nod toward "free speech" even while censoring. That's changed. They now use "free speech" as a term of insult, a marker of far-right fascism. It's more honest this way: https://t.co/CQfmSSEs40 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The reason Dem pundits and liberal journalists are invoking their usual clichés to declare the Twitter Files "nothing burgers" is simple: Their whole existence is based on maligning any reporting suggesting national Dems and liberals may have acted inappropriately. That's all. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The list of prominent conservative US/Western elected officials, journalists, authors, etc. banned by Big Tech is very long. No establishment left-liberal voice ever is. To deny Big Tech censorship targets conservatives requires pathological lying. Name the comparable Dems?👇 https://t.co/5v0kYozh5i — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There are anti-establishment *leftists* who get banned: the small group not completely co-opted by the Dem Party. To see how trivial that group is in the US, follow real leftists in the EU Parliament such as @wallacemick or @ClareDalyMEP. AOC/Bernie would never utter a word of it https://t.co/9n7viWLPNm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Dem partisans live in a cloistered world So they utter such obvious lies without realizing how transparent the lies are. Big Tech's work force is almost all liberals. The donate to Dems at a rate of 95%. The @yoyoel's of the world are easily pegged as culture war fanatics. https://t.co/lomAxGtWTI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Look at what brazen and thus poor liars Dem partisans are: Conservatives could easily rattle off a long list of prominent right-wing figures banned by Big Tech, starting with the US President and members of Congress. No prominent Dem was ever banned. Yet they still say this: — PolitiTweet.org
