One of the signers of the now disgraced letter (that appallingly wondered if diplomacy might be a useful tool) -- @RepRaskin -- is commendably engaged in all sorts of self-abasement. He's denouncing diplomacy advocates as transphobic colonialists: https://t.co/bfEzeaGDqY — PolitiTweet.org

I believe as one last act of contrition for having meekly questioned Biden's war policies, @RepJayapal should go on national TV and engage in self-flagellation. They should also offer up one of the staffers they're blaming to Maddow for a human sacrifice. This is insufficient: https://t.co/YTb5G6jkC2 — PolitiTweet.org

@DricaCamaraRio @davidmirandario Ele ainda não está melhor.Ainda está na UTI. Houve alguns sinais encorajadores na última semana, mas ainda é uma luta. Infelizmente é um processo de recuperação longo, excruciante e árduo, mas a única coisa que importa é que ele volte para casa no final. Obrigado por perguntar. — PolitiTweet.org

Many forgot how repressive was the climate around the War on Terror and Iraq. That was a major reason I began writing about politics in 2005. But today's environment - not just on Ukraine but generally - tolerates almost no dissent. They were forced to "retract" and blame staff! — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's really worth thinking about what happened with the Progressive Caucus. They popped their heads up with the mildest, most deferential and most tentative questioning possible on the war in Ukraine. And for that, they were forced to abase themselves twice, and did so eagerly. https://t.co/kbmfOSGbx2 — PolitiTweet.org

@mirandadevine Endless war (fought by other people), domination of the Middle East regardless of whether that promotes American interests, and unyielding empowerment of the US Security State. Those are the three priorities of neocons (the only real ones), by definition. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Honestly, I'd rather resign my seat in Congress than subject myself to a spectacle this humiliating. They couldn't even stand behind the slightest war dissent for 24 hours. Also, this statement is a lie: the vast majority of GOP fully supports Biden's war policies in Ukraine. https://t.co/fZTQD8phEt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Holy shit! The humiliation of @RepJayapal and the House Progressive Caucus just got worse, even when it appeared it couldn't. Her degrading reversal of their Ukraine letter after 1 day wasn't enough. Now they're formally "retracting" it, blaming staff. https://t.co/PjM7uRR0w9 — PolitiTweet.org

@devoretext @BillKristol @Sam_Schulman At the time Bill Kristol published that anti-gay screed, 40-45% of Americans supported marriage equality (including Dick Cheney). And it wasn't just some light opposition but an article filled with every hideous anti-gay trope that existed, and then some. https://t.co/GGZSS4P5CJ https://t.co/rmd2dhvgZI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BouldEd LOL. AOC has one of the biggest war chests of any DC incumbent. I know the left always has to invent victim narratives for why it doesn't win so I'm sorry to point this out, but the reason the Squad wields no power is it lacks the courage to defy Pelosi. https://t.co/igT4093MuK — PolitiTweet.org

Now that neocons re-migrated and morphed back into Dems - knowing that's the most hospitable home for militarism - they're super woke: they'll brand anyone questioning mastectomies and puberty blockers for 15-year-olds as "bigots" because that's how they stay beloved by liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When neocons were attached to the GOP during the Bush/Cheney era, @BillKristol was vehemently anti-gay and pro-life. He was running articles in the Weekly Standard by @Sam_Schulman on how gay marriage can't work because marriage isn't for homosexuals. https://t.co/n2QlmHFRWY https://t.co/YhiVdt60MU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yes, @BillKristol and the neocons at Bulwark are now hard-core trans activists. One key to understanding neocons: they don't care about social issues at all. They'll adopt any view they have to to wield power in their new party to support Endless War and the US Security State: — PolitiTweet.org

@matthewstoller @thejdlr Not only was there dissent on the right over Trump's aggression toward Iran, but also against bipartisan demands for US to interfere in Cubn, which Trump supported. But my main argument is we *should* have debate over something as dangerous as Ukraine. https://t.co/GCil76JWVu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@matthewstoller @thejdlr There was also this same dissent on war policies from what you're calling "the fringe" of the right -- such as the most-watched show on cable news -- when Trump was president. https://t.co/kDpbsR1TWa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

They couldn't even hold out for *24 hours*. What a complete humiliation. Joe Crowley must be sitting in his lobbyist office cackling each time this happens: https://t.co/s7605fJ9HZ — PolitiTweet.org

I won't be that surprised if, before the end of the day, @RepJayapal announces that she and the rest of the House Progressives are getting tattoos of Volodymyr Zelensky and the Raytheon logo on their bodies to repent for their momentary lapse of loyalty: https://t.co/TWLzOURfR2 — PolitiTweet.org

@thejdlr When the President of the United States himself warns that the world is closer to nuclear armageddon than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis 60 years ago, it's probably good to have some debate about our current course - as is happening in most countries around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

@ty_hot @nferraz A eleição para senador em SP foi um dos piores resultados de pesquisa que já vi. Mas não foi muito melhor para or Governadores em SP ou no Rio: eles também erraram por 15-20 pontos. E eles subestimaram o apoio de Bolsonaro em pelo menos dez pontos. Foi uma atuação terrível. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The vast majority of Republican members of Congress and voters support Biden's war policies in Ukraine. More than 80% of Senate and House GOP voted for it. But at least there's some dissent, some debate -- in their political and media circles. There's *zero* dissent among Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's vastly more debate within the Republican Party -- not just on Ukraine but on most topics -- than there is within the Democratic Party. It's not even close. The tolerance level for even the smallest dissent in Democratic Party political and media circles is close to zero. https://t.co/rTkATTOabx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Imagine being elected to Congress based on promises of challenging "the establishment" or whatever, then being so petrified of anger from bipartisan DC establishment mavens that you can't even wait 24 hours before meekly retracting the only mild dissent you've expressed. https://t.co/3uk9SlLoC3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JamesKroeger5 In every election in every country, people now believe the voting machines are being manipulated. In Brazil, this is a view most common among Bolsonaro supporters. If your views on Brazil are based on that left-wing conspiracy site, you'll be very misled. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nferraz Moro no Brasil desde 2005: então esta é minha 4ª eleição presidencial. Dado terceiros, "voto útil" tb existe nos EUA - embora não na mesma medida - mas em muitos outros países. Não justifica esses enormes erros de pesquisas esse ano e, se justifica, qual valor as pesquisas têm? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In other words, bipartisan anger that "progressives" in the House Dem Caucus might have some very mild critiques on Ukraine led them to immediately vow full loyalty to the leader. So the only dissent on Ukraine continues to be on Fox, parts of GOP, and small sectors of the left. https://t.co/cLPG4CbykC — PolitiTweet.org
