@muckrakerearth @democracynow That may be true, but that's not an example of it, since the Russians had not invaded Ukraine on February 23, the date of that tweet, despite the US media saying they had. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bob_vols @democracynow Really grateful to have such erudite and creative people like you to offer such unique phrasing that I'd never be able to find on my own. https://t.co/K6vcRlpcRB — PolitiTweet.org

@heyitsmeshaunna That you think I'm supporting Bolsonaro is a testament to both your stupidity and the willingness of the liberal-left to invent lies at the drop of a hat. There's a reason Bolsonaro threatened me and not you. It has a lot to do with the subject we've been discussing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Rare @DemocracyNow segment that includes actual dissent from liberal orthodoxies. Good discussion here: — PolitiTweet.org

@heyitsmeshaunna I'm not going to be interrogated on my relationship with my kids by some cowardly anonymous loser on Twitter. My offline work and accomplishments speak for themselves. If you have anyone in your life, how often do they hear: "not now, sweetie: I'm in Glenn Greenwald's replies"? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@heyitsmeshaunna And yet I've written 6 books, am raising 3 kids, have rescued and placed for adoption dozens of dogs including the 24 at our home, founded numerous entities including several non-profits, so I must be offline quite a bit as well. As I said, I don't regard "online" as an insult. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper I also think there are different tactics people use for causes, all of which are vital. Politicians tend to think a lot about how to draw people to them. I don't really see that as my role. We also use whatever skills and talents we have in the best way we can. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper I think there's a balance needed. Harsh criticisms of ruling class ideologies and the dominant factions that support them are vital. That may alienate some. With few exceptions, I don't ever personalize politics to the point that I wouldn't work with someone for common goals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ArthurinCali Yes, and the way Wimbledon this year banned British players due to the UK Government's ongoing support for the Saudi destruction of Yemen and general support for the most despotic regimes in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Every collapsed and crumbled empire likely has many lingering pathetic features, but few can surpass the British elite in this regard.🇬🇧 What they did at Wimbledon -- thinking they were hurting Putin by banning Russian players -- was an utter debacle:👇 https://t.co/RHLn72hKpJ https://t.co/2aKIZkVvTJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper I don't really think I have anything to prove about my willingness and ability to work for the causes I support and achieve progress and tangible results for them. You should probably refrain from criticizing others' perceived failures in that regard until you've done something. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper I have numerous other societal visions I've not just advocated over the years but worked and sacrificed to advance and promote. But given the constraints of Twitter, I feel that's a good start to aid in your understanding of what you asked. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper Factory farms should be heavily regulated if not dismantled to stop mass torture of animals and harms to public health and environment. The Drug War should end with resources devoted to treatment. Big Tech monopolies should be broken up. CIA should be reined end if not abolished. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper I think free speech should be protected to ensure ruling class orthodoxies are subject to challenge. Journalists like Assange should be able to report on power centers without fear of prosecution. Militarism, imperialism and corporatism should end as ruling class ideologies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dromanber Yes, he used to write things like this until realizing that you have to hew to standard liberal orthodoxy to find and keep a job in liberal corporate media: https://t.co/oL3vcZVrD3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As the Post suggests, there's no proof the story is false -- can't prove a negative -- but the evidence for it is woefully inadequate given how far and wide it spread, including by the WH. Possible it will be proven, true but it shows how recklessness is permitted for The Cause. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

After liberals virally spread 2 false stories -- a Florida law requiring students to register their political views and CBP agents "whipping" migrants -- WPost is now questioning the story about the 10-year-old Ohio girl forced to leave for an abortion: https://t.co/NZ3MCePFSo — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the same Business Insider employee who, despite having never displayed a molecule of courage, this week insinuated Snowden, who risked everything for his cause, was a coward. Beyond that, "terminally online" insult is odd. The internet is a key way people communicate. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This employee of Business Insider describes Edward @Swowden as being "terminally online." That Business Insider employee has tweeted 83,000 times. Snowden -- known not for his tweets but courageous *actions* -- has posted 7,000 times: 1/12 that amount. https://t.co/75tzyASQw6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper I said liberals who attacked Trump in the name of "norms" now demand sweeping structural changes to the government. You claimed these were two completely different groups of people with no overlap. I showed you Ryan was in both groups, and you know this. It's OK to admit that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TomCokeIsABlunt @foodjinn You named yourself after me, all so that you could insult people on the internet without having to attach your name to what you say. I'd say you're literally the last person qualified to accuse others of cowardice or being a loser. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem Yes, they are the same people. In this particular episode: the same exact person. I know you lack the integrity to admit you were wrong but I also know you're aware of it deep down and that refusing to admit it will hurt even more. https://t.co/gmYaHATNvE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Travelingcircu Yes, he did -- repeatedly. https://t.co/qptPbg4oGn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@stahlscott @ZaidJilani The alliance between establishment liberals and and neocons is not remotely temporary, nor is it about mere political goals. The liberal/neocon alliance is fundamental and enduring because they share the same worldview, as I documented in this thread: https://t.co/Y4P1z9O1r4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Lefty_Barbarian Who was in favor of the NATO bombing of Libya and who opposed it? You know, that thing that left the country in complete shambles and engendered a return of ISIS and slavery. Where are the NO votes now against Biden's Ukraine war package coming from? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani @EricLevitz Democrats used the filibuster constantly and aggressively over the last decade to stop all sorts of GOP legislative initiatives. You can maybe find a few examples of liberal pundits advocating abolition then, but obviously nowhere near the levels as when Dems are in control. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When you actually look at the numbers for MSNBC and CNN, it's shocking. Their prime-time hosts barely have 100,000 people under 55 watching. CNN can barely get 500k total. Weekend shows on MSNBC will soon be counted by the dozens. It's an empty politics: as dreary as it is boring https://t.co/4BU9333tAI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Without Trump, liberal media personalities have no way to keep their rapidly dwindling flock sufficiently enraptured and excited -- Biden, Kamala and Pete don't quite do it -- so their already miniscule audience is shrinking back to barely-extant pre-Trump levels: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani It's the same way liberals want to empower Google and Facebook to censor political speech on the internet because, yesterday, the person who was silenced was someone they disliked. They can't reason in terms of principles or precedents, let alone mid-range strategic analysis. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@foodjinn This is called a "political cartoon." It was drawn by the Pulitzer-finalist cartoonist for the Detroit News. If he qualifies as a boomer, it's a very young one. — PolitiTweet.org
