In case you're wondering what all these abstract Congressional votes this week are about on already settled social issues, and why they still cling to the hope that Liz Cheney and her Committee will save them: — PolitiTweet.org

Each banal column in the series has animated art like this accompanying it, and some are really beautiful. https://t.co/uOicXCofZX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is exactly right, and it's what makes the NYT's "What I Got Wrong" series so funny: it's them recanting one thing they said that no longer comports with liberal orthodoxy. That said, the animated art on this series by Sean Dong is spectacular: worth seeing just for that. — PolitiTweet.org

@GeneSohoForum @nickgillespie @reason @TuckerCarlson I don't actually know the answer to that question with any certitude, so what I was saying was that the current regime of crony capitalism has the capacity to unite key sectors of both left and right in opposition, which is more valuable to me than the abstract question. — PolitiTweet.org

@walterkirn It's basically a metaphor for the trajectory of the cultural left over the last several decades: https://t.co/1DXAj19OzD — PolitiTweet.org

@Ed_Boulder @tvglobo @gugachacra That Bolsonaro and Lula have the same view on the war in Ukraine and Brazil's posture toward it is a fact. Do you think I should lie about it? You do, right? And do you think I need lectures from you about confronting Bolsonaro? https://t.co/eqIQA3ks5t — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Ed_Boulder @tvglobo @gugachacra What are the differences between Lula and Bolsonaro when it comes to the war in Ukraine and Brazil's posture toward it? This is what Guga's article and my tweets were about. As an expert in Brazilian foreign policy and politics, can you enlighten me on this question? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Ed_Boulder @tvglobo @gugachacra The article about the similarity of their views on the war in Ukraine was not written by me but by @gugachacra, one of Brazil's best foreign policy reporters. But since you disagree, what, specifically, are the major differences between Lula and Bolsonaro on the war in Ukraine? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@VuikoBerkut The current president of Brazil is Jair Bolsonaro, not Lula, and the article from Globo I cited points out that they share the same view on Ukraine and Russia. Zelensky this week attacked Bolsonaro, not Lula, for Brazil's neutrality in the war. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@VuikoBerkut He's not a convicted felon. His conviction was ruled invalid by Brazil's Supreme Court and was fully nullified. He was the President of one of the world's largest and most important countries for 8 years, so he presumably knows a fair amount about foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Ed_Boulder @tvglobo @gugachacra I'm sorry if criticisms of NATO offend you, or that you get upset by reporting about the views of various world leaders that differ from the position of the US State Department. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Brazil built a reputation has having the world's greatest diplomatic corps through neutrality. It also has strong ties to Russia through BRICS. From the start, Lula, like Bolsonaro, has refused to echo the NATO consensus on Ukraine. He's rejected it: https://t.co/ZlXvKc2Qsr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Ukrainian President Zelensky, in an interview with Brazil's @tvglobo, harshly criticized President Bolsonaro for his neutrality on Russia/Ukarine. As Globo's @gugachacra notes, Lula -- Bolsonaro's opponent -- shares that neutrality and has similar views: https://t.co/5I2gUesbI1 — PolitiTweet.org

@lifeofmamafitz I'm not victimized by anything. I'm doing very well and love the work I do, and understand that the anger is part of the job. I feed on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here was my full response to the reporter who asked me for comment about that reaction. It has everything to do with the political strategy of Democrats and how they demand all journalists serve the political agenda of the DNC: https://t.co/JonWZQsC8G — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Good recap here of yesterday's utterly unhinged but revealing hysteria from Democrats over my providing some facts about Matt Gaetz's record on LGBT issues. See the next tweet for my full comments. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@cliftonaduncan Yes, not exclusively white activists, but particularly in places like Minneapolis, that's who drives these kinds of protests. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Within the framework of liberal culture, it is difficult to avoid observing that Chappelle protests like the one in Minneapolis entail overwhelmingly white liberal activists trying to silence one of history's most brilliant and successful Black comedians: https://t.co/xedGPWXDVw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChrisCWright1 I've been writing about, speaking about, and reporting on censorship and cancellation of Israel critics for years. I continue to do it as I just demonstrated to you. Your claim that I don't talk about it is false. https://t.co/MqAV5GNPdx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChrisCWright1 I not only talk about that constantly but have probably done more reporting on it than any other journalist. My reporting is why you know about it. In fact, I mentioned it just a few hours ago. I mention it all the time. Otherwise, excellent point. https://t.co/RouXxzwr85 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JeremyBeckham Many of the activists are complaining that the show wasn't fully cancelled, and are attacking the theater even for noting where those who bought tickets can see the show instead. There are also planned protests aimed at those attending the show at the new venue. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the 1980s, it was the Moral Majority and social conservatives on the right who routinely objected to shows by artists and comedians, demanding that the shows be cancelled or banned on the ground that they "cause harm to the community." Now it's the left that does this.✊ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This theater in Minneapolis booked and promoted a live show by Dave Chappelle. Activists objected, demanding they cancel it because the show "harms" them and puts them in "danger." The theater capitulated and apologized for the "harm." The show will now be in a different theater: — PolitiTweet.org

@axidentle @ericzachary1977 No, I did not meet with or speak with him there, nor did he invite me to that conference. You're doing great so far. Do you have any other false claims or implications you'd like to share? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@axidentle @ericzachary1977 I was paid nothing to attend that conference. I'm very interested in the privacy and anonymity potential of blockchain, which is why I've been interviewing people about it, and attended that conference for no fee. People who have no convictions think everyone is similarly plagued — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

LOL. Amazing: https://t.co/WNIJN4JlgR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@axidentle @ericzachary1977 Yes, and Rachel Maddow makes $30 million a year spouting DNC talking points. Hannity has been at it for decades. The newly rich in media are the ones who spent the last 6 years calling Trump the Orange Hitler and Putin's bitch. Anyone motivated by money would be doing that. — PolitiTweet.org
