Someone try to get AOC, Bernie or any Squad member to say anything like this -- let alone standard Democratic Party officials -- and tell me what happens. Everyone who has tried thus far has failed. By contrast, @RepMTG and Tucker Carlson have repeatedly said this: https://t.co/AVlIrjDGif — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That you can't find one national Dem politician willing to do defend Assange the way Lula does -- you have to go to GOP politicians for that -- shows what a fraud and joke is the mainstream US left. Try to imagine Bernie or AOC saying any of this: https://t.co/qPUd6Px94p — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Brazil's soon to be new President - Lula - has repeatedly heaped praise on Assange as one of the world's bravest and most noble journalists. He has condemned the US prosecution in its harshest terms. I look forward to meeting with Julian's father and brother in Brazil this week: — PolitiTweet.org

@WantedDuel If you make an exception for free speech when it comes to Israel's opponents, just say so. The fact that a government claims a journalist or activist is a "perpetrator of terrorist violence" does not make it true. This was Justin Trudeau's justification for freezing bank accounts — PolitiTweet.org

The first reporting I ever did on Big Tech censorship was this 2016 article on how the Israeli Government gives lists to Facebook of Palestinians they want banned, and FB complies 95% of the time. Censorship is never used to protect the marginalized: https://t.co/vE0XpFlk78 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RitchieTorres If you spent less time fixating on Israel -- the source of your financial and political support but not your job as a US Congressman -- perhaps you'd know SCOTUS has ruled that coercively pressuring private companies to censor for you violates the 1st Am: https://t.co/KBMZpF1hbb — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, Neera Tanden - who despite failing to get Senate confirmation received a high-level job in the Biden WH - is a full-on election denier. She repeatedly suggested Hillary really won the 2016 election but Russian hackers changed the vote total: https://t.co/MAy2VTpOkv — PolitiTweet.org

@mhewlettWSJ Are you denying that Democrats have been explicitly threatening social media companies with legal and regulatory reprisals for failure to censor the content Dems want censored, or are you denying that the SupCt has ruled that this type of behavior violates the 1st Am? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mhewlettWSJ Because the context - which I realize you don't know about because the NYT and CNN doesn't talk about - is that Dems have spent 2 years explicitly threatening social media companies with legal and regulatory reprisals if they don't censor as Dems demand. https://t.co/KBMZpFjqpj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani Ritchie Torres would rather cut off several of his fingers than agree an Israeli should ever be punished for anything, let alone censored for advocating violence. The official who organized his LGBT hasbara trip through Tel Aviv deserves a major raise: really did a number on him. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It just continues to be one of the most surreal aspects of American political life that the political party that incessantly claims it is the sole bulwark against "fascism" has, as one of its central tactics, the union of state and corporate power to censor the citizenry. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@GregSheaBoston It's creepy and bizarre how Democrats are so jingoistic now that they think the 9 million American citizens who live outside the US are somehow not real or full citizens, and who possess fewer rights to speak about our own government to which we are required to pay taxes. https://t.co/fMotqELSBe — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When reporting on how Democrats in Congress keep threatening social media companies with punishment if they don't obey censorship demands - something WH @PressSec implied yesterday - we reviewed these SupCt rulings and interviewed a good ACLU lawyer: https://t.co/KBMZpFjqpj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Members of Congress "have no business" dictating to social media companies who they must censor, especially when they are part of the majority party that has threatened reprisals for failure to censor on command. The Supreme Court has ruled such conduct a 1st Am violation. — PolitiTweet.org

Issuing constant sanctimonious lectures on how marginalized and oppressed one is requires a great deal of tranquility, relaxation, and comfort, so it's good Soledad spent so much time choosing just the right floor art for the latest addition to her real estate portfolio. 👍 https://t.co/ilC9Ri5pSA — PolitiTweet.org

Really interesting NYT article on the difficult decisions faced by @soledadobrien when deciding which type of art she wanted to decorate the floors of the guest house of her new estate in West Palm Beach, her third or fourth beautiful sprawling home. https://t.co/a34SDURavw — PolitiTweet.org

@DeadEyeEagle @tomselliott @Apple @elonmusk It prevents you from getting updates necessary to keep the app functioning. And, of course, it prevents new user downloads, including people who get a new phone. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tomselliott @Apple @elonmusk It's almost impossible to function in many industries without using Apple products. If Apple and Google removed Twitter from its stores, it would instantly cripple if not destroy it. But yes, there is a growing debate on both right and left about monopolies, which I think is good — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanMaertens @mtaibbi @DavidSacks By every relevant metric, the reach of my work, the impact it has, and the ideological diversity of my readership have never been higher. That you and your Democratic Party friends "clown" on me has no effect on anything, and reflects nothing other than your partisan loyalties. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SeanMaertens @Buddy_Buddy_boy @mtaibbi @DavidSacks The insult "grifter" is an empty term bereft of meaning. It's just used by narcissistic liberals who can't conceive that people can genuinely see the world differently than they see it, or authoritarian liberals who think the only legitimate work is for large media corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Buddy_Buddy_boy @SeanMaertens @mtaibbi @DavidSacks That you can't conceive that people express views they actually believe - but instead just say whatever they have to for more money - reflects a great deal about yourself and nothing about me. That I say anything for more pennies is also a standard anti-Semitic trope but whatever — PolitiTweet.org

@JoAnnKennedyCAN I'm sorry you don't know what a monopoly is, but they're illegal under US law. The official position of the Dem-led House Antitrust Committee (with GOP support) is that Apple -- with Google, FB and Amazon -- are illegal monopolies which must be broken up. https://t.co/28O8cutYA0 — PolitiTweet.org

@JWMoons Candace Owens vocally crusades for pardons for Assange and Snowden; warns the CIA and US Security State are evil; opposes US proxy wars like in Ukraine; denounces Big Tech control of speech. Bernie, let alone Dems, either support all this or won't touch it. That's not my fault. — PolitiTweet.org
