Asking genuinely: has one single Dem member of Congress raised concerns about this major story yesterday proving that DHS/FBI/CIA pressure Big Tech to censor for them? I haven't seen one. Yes, it's been known for awhile but these docs are explosive: https://t.co/X9fyihCBsK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

1) Why is it only GOP politicians express concern about the revelations from @lhfang and @kenklippenstein: DHS/FBI pressure on Big Tech to censor? (Because DHS/FBI and censorship are popular among liberals). 2) As Buck warns, many GOP talk a big game on Big Tech, do nothing:👇 — PolitiTweet.org

@Todo266 I'm sorry you're angry that the halls of power are now opened to young women. — PolitiTweet.org

@MerlinLynn75 Read the first two words of your tweet again. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Chuck Schumer has been in Congress for 41 years, since 1981 - 18 years as a Congressman, followed by 23 years more as a Senator. He's the favorite to win yet another 6-year term, making it almost a half-century in Congress. Incredibly exciting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If she wins her House race in NH, @kleavittnh will become the youngest woman ever elected to the US House of Representatives. The Trump-supporting GOP candidate is 25 years old, and polls, which showed her behind, now show her competitive or ahead. History could be made. — PolitiTweet.org

@2ug2ug @zfurnas I've been writing about those values for 17 years over the space of thousands of articles and columns, 6 books, hundreds of speeches and interviews. I'm sorry I can't boil it down to a tweet for you but if you're interested there's ample material that answers your question. — PolitiTweet.org

@FrankoNintendo @zfurnas He's on the side of classic fascism: uniting state and corporate power to control and police speech so that none of the inferior rubes can question or challenge the universal truths he believes he acquired in academia: https://t.co/FkEi2do5SY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@zfurnas I don't really define myself by "sides"- more by values - but I know for sure I'm not on the side of fascist Political Science PhDs who want the US Security State to co-opt monopoly power to censor the internet in the name of fighting disinformation. https://t.co/FkEi2d6v1q — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mdrayton @MikumoOsamuFan Yes, Gen. Mourão - just elected Senator - has acknowledged Lula's victory and his working with his successor, Geraldo Alckmin, on a smooth transition of power. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jonjskin @MikumoOsamuFan Obviously Lula also has bargaining power. He's the president-elect. I can't fathom the stupidity necessary to think this is some kind of rational or impressive response to warnings about what Bolsonaro could incite, unless you're hoping for a civil war you can watch from afar. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That NYT regularly cites Media Matters - the David-Brock-spawned slimy sewer of partisan lies and DNC talking points - as some kind of neutral expert on "disinformation" shows both the fraudulent nature of the "disinformation" scam and what side NYT is on https://t.co/SM77ThBuoZ https://t.co/3ieHJsCMPL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MerfyMac @amick87 I already took care of this in the ACLU thread. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@amick87 I have repeatedly denounced the authoritarianism of the STF, de Moraes and and the Globo-led establishment support of Lula. The reason dumb US liberals think I support Bolsonaro is because I went on Tucker's show to denounce Big Tech censorship of bolsonaristas. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sillychillly @LeftyAndTheShrk No, it's just that you're a Democrat (and yes, I know you tell yourself it's the reluctant, socialist version). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lavenderroute Yes, Big Tech is censoring in Brazil the same way it is in the US, and for the same reasons. I've denounced it repeatedly. That has nothing to do with the preposterous claim that Brazil will turn into Venezuela. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PinbackSgt @ryanlcooper That's nothing compared to what Ryan Cooper did for Chelsea, the same thing he does for everyone and everything: absolutely nothing. Chelsea was never my source. I only released our chats from after 2016, to clear my name from her false insinuations I menaced her personally. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jsgaetano Are you really this stupid that you don't understand the point that I - and ACLU - made explicitly in the tweet to which you're responding, and which The Intercept proved yesterday with a huge scoop: the Biden Admin is pressuring Big Tech to censor for it https://t.co/X9fyihCBsK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WTxFlatlander I'm opposed to all attempts by the US to interfere in internal affairs of other countries and have already noted the severe irony of the Brazilian left welcoming such "pro-democracy" attempts because they perceive (correctly) that Biden wants Lula to win. The US should stay out. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alannicholls4 You're just a Democrat and Labourite and, therefore, the first to appear in anger whenever warnings about DHS and CIA are issued, or the dangers of Big Tech censorship denounced. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Since 2016, when Democrats decided they can't win elections unless they control the internet, they have, each year, escalated their attempts to force and coerce Big Tech to censor for them, using CIA/DHS/FBI as well. It's a clear 1st Amendment violation: https://t.co/KBMZpFiSzL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I love when a Matrix glitch reawakens the ACLU. For the story I did last year on DHS pressure to censor, I reviewed case law banning the state from using private actors to censor, and quoted one of the still-great ACLU lawyers as saying this: https://t.co/zF67lhts5b — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikumoOsamuFan He does have bargaining power. There's no question he could incite a great deal of social strife and violence with his words. I guess the question is how much confidence do Brazil's institutions have that the military and police will be behind them to quell such uprising. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Felixforchaos I'm not part of TI any longer so I don't have full insider information but in general Pierre Omidyar is starting to significantly reduce his overall financial support for the Intercept, forcing them to make big cuts, including no longer funding TIB. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Bolsonaro had asked to meet with the Supreme Court judges before speaking publicly - almost certainly in part to get agreement on issues involving legal matters affecting him - but they're refusing to meet with him until he publicly acknowledges defeat: https://t.co/o7ryKqyfD2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lavenderroute Do you realize that when I first moved here, Lula was President, and he remained President for the next five years, followed by six more years of his successor's presidency, and we didn't eat our dogs? Brazil's economy grew to the sixth largest in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LeftyAndTheShrk How can America possibly survive without Mark Kelly winning another term in the Senate? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Hard to know exactly how much this will help Masters but it's obviously a positive: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@STabcdef @kausmickey Obviously bolsonarismo would be stronger with a Bolsonaro win than a Bolsonaro loss. I'm saying that the movement itself has more popular support and more influence in running both Congress and key states than ever before, independent of his loss. — PolitiTweet.org
