In response to intense bipartisan anger over the letter they issued yesterday on Ukraine, House Progressives issue a new statement vowing full and complete loyalty to Biden's war policies and full support to funding war in Ukraine without limits: https://t.co/QCZA4TT8FZ — PolitiTweet.org

Given how embarrassingly wrong Brazil's leading polls were in the 1st round - especially in key Senate and Governor races where they were off by 20-30 points - it's unclear how much value it has, but polls are pretty consistent in giving Lula a 6/7-point lead in Sunday's run-off: https://t.co/CQCpwqv8S6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The POLITICO reporter says he didn't intend to express support for Biden's war policy: just imprecise wording. I take his word for it. The value of his thread is his correct analysis that the Progressives' letter postures as opposition but isn't really: https://t.co/H7Dq3UCr7X — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alexbward Fair enough. I do think the tweet, as written, was reasonably interpreted to mean that the letter wasn't bad because it doesn't offer real opposition to Biden's policy, but I know how easy it is in tweets to express oneself imprecisely. Will note this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm not suggesting this is some grave abuse of my rights. But just look at how innocuous the tweet is. I've now received 2 formal decrees on its propriety. This is the climate cultivated: official judgments and punishments routinely issued for our views: https://t.co/hSXR30Xqnv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

While I thankfully was cleared of violating German law with my tweet criticizing neocons, Twitter decided the tweet merits a warning for some unspecified reason. We've become trained to view as normal this constant formal judgment by state and corporate authorities of our views. https://t.co/0GavBSK4uF — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tgf9898 @alexbward The point is that's not going to happen, leaving the US with the question of how much it wants to sacrifice in order to fund and otherwise involve itself in an indefinite proxy war, one that -- by all accounts -- includes a non-trivial risk of nuclear war. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alexbward As others have already responded -- both under your original tweet and here -- you said the letter wasn't "as bad as people are making it out to be" because it doesn't express real opposition to Biden's current policy. Thus, the only inference is you support that policy. https://t.co/475l6l6yUG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's POLITICO's NatSec reporter @alexbward -- who, to his credit, candidly shows how vehemently he supports Biden's war policies in Ukraine -- arguing, convincingly, that the Ukraine letter from House progressives is mostly just meaningless drivel: https://t.co/LyespdGNW6 — PolitiTweet.org

Look what this bipartisan group of Senators -- the ones who always want more war, more weapons expenditures, etc. -- are trying to do "for Ukraine": give Biden emergency powers to transfer huge sums of money to Raytheon, Boeing, etc. with no safeguards: https://t.co/Q3SmS4EzpA https://t.co/Q7UkWcEAof — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Finally. And good to see. They should work with the wing of the Senate and House GOP who have been warning of the dangers of US involvement in this war from the start and the immense waste that it fosters.... — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jasonintrator When I look at Bolsonaro and Trump, what interests me most is not screaming in denunciation but rather asking why people turned to them (I don't like talking about them as a unit because they're quite different). And the answer, to me, is the profound failures of neoliberalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jasonintrator I agree that the author of our current woes - including the public's complete lost of faith and trust in institutions of authority (a loss I regard as valid and rational) -- are neoliberal elites and neoliberalism. That's why I'm baffled by those who want to keep them in power. — PolitiTweet.org

@jasonintrator Come on, Jason. It's the lightest of mockery of the pomposity of rituals of academia. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jasonintrator But do you believe the death of democracy is caused principally by the success of the Republican Party, and that the best way (or one of the best ways) to avert it is to vote for Democratic Party candidates? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those of you unfamiliar with Professor Stanely's credentials to decree that American Democracy is dead as the result of the GOP victory he believes is imminent, he explains those credentials in this short but convincing and important video: https://t.co/RbEPVzrCDV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University, @jasonintrator, discusses with his followers what their strategies are now that the United States is no longer a democracy but a fascist tyranny (as the result of what he believes to be the likely GOP win in November): https://t.co/wuogq3PXBo — PolitiTweet.org

@mathiasgeoadm É extremamente difícil acompanhar a política de um país complicado em que você não nasceu ou nunca viveu, mas Trump foi o primeiro presidente americano *em décadas* que não envolveu os EUA em uma nova guerra. Você está ciente disto? O que você acha daquilo? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheEmoDragon @MTRichards400 @DougJBalloon This is the reductive caricature I find baffling. If Gaetz were full of hatred for gay people, why would he work so hard to overturn Florida's ban on gay adoptions? Equating opposition to gay marriage with *hatred* is lunacy since that was almost every Dem's view a decade ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Maybe Bob Woodward should focus on the most severe nuclear war threat since the Cuban Missile Crisis that Joe Biden's policies have helped foster which the world *currently* faces, rather than the one that Donald Trump did not in fact trigger and arguably extinguished. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheEmoDragon @MTRichards400 @DougJBalloon Also, David is my husband, not my "partner."👍🌈 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheEmoDragon @MTRichards400 @DougJBalloon I'm grateful to AOC leftists like you who lecture me on my duties as a gay man, husband and father. David and I lived in Brazil is because your party enacted a law banning spousal immigration rights. Moreover, gay men are permitted to think of other issues besides LGBTQAPII2+. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MTRichards400 @DougJBalloon What's it like to wake up and be enraged every time you see that non-white people and women are finally reaching heights of power that -- because of bigots like you -- were denied to them for so long? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Despite their lack of success, I want to also offer my appreciation to the vigilant German citizen who reported me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Profoundly grateful for the determination that I'm permitted to proffer this critique of neoconservatism under the strict confines of German speech laws. 🙏🇩🇪 https://t.co/10Y8myjbI7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PJCrowley @RepLizCheney @MeetThePress @GOPLeader All polls show that Ukraine is not even close to the top of voters' priorities. Maybe it should be, but these polls show that when Americans wake up in the morning, the question of who governs Donbas is not even on their radar, let alone the determinative factor for voting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DrewForAmerica @ld9934 Calling someone a fascist is not a substantive criticism that merits - or even permits - a substantive response, but the more important point is that you responded to a point that was the exact opposite of the one I made. — PolitiTweet.org
