The first people to warn of Biden's age-based cognitive decline were inside-DC Dem operatives in 2019, worried Biden would get the nomination from name recognition. Once Biden got the nomination in 2020, it became taboo -- immoral -- to mention it. Now it's allowed again: — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic Party oligarchical mega-donors -- led by Hollywood's Jeffrey Katzenberg, also one of the largest investors in @TheYoungTurks -- line up to pour money into Liz Cheney's re-election campaign, along with small Democratic Party donors as well. ✊ https://t.co/vKXoeTUwnA — PolitiTweet.org

@FrauLevenberg I think Rybakina did absolutely nothing wrong, and am not implying she did. Just saying: this isn't a case where a player has roughly equal ties to 2 countries and chose. She's Russian in every sense. Only decided to play for Kazakhstan 3 years ago due to more financial support. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@leroyjenk227 Yep: happens often, including in the richest countries. Tennis federations assess who has the best chances to succeed at the pro level, often make mistakes. Great American players have been ignored by USTA. Rybakina is a great player, deserves the title. And she's Russian. — PolitiTweet.org

So Wimbledon stripped itself into a typically British pompous gesture by -- alone among Grand Slams -- banning players by nationality, only to watch a Russian woman win. Tomorrow: the men's final between two vegans (Djokovic v. Kyrgios, who became vegan due to love of animals). https://t.co/v8623G15FL — PolitiTweet.org

The woman's winner is... Elena Rybakina, a Russian woman born and raised in Moscow, still lives in Moscow, allowed to play at Wimbledon only because she switched in 2018 to play for oil-rich Kazakhstan solely for financial reasons. Just get her trophy with Princess Kate.🇬🇧🇷🇺 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Wimbledon, by banning Russian and Belarusian players, degraded itself into a glorified exhibition: no ranking points, top men's player banned (Medvedev) with other great men and women's players. A big fear was British royalty would have to give the trophy to a Russian. Yet.... — PolitiTweet.org

In a statement to CNN, #Resistance author @StephenKing said how sorry he was he spread a lie about the Florida law in a mega-viral tweet. He's so sorry the tweet is still up, spreading, and he never bothered to tell his 7 million followers it's false. https://t.co/577dhN2IEN https://t.co/dbWQlCwzWA — PolitiTweet.org

This viral tweet from @TheRickWilson spreading this lie that was so blatant even CNN debunked it as a lie is, of course, still up and spreading, with no little note from Twitter about disinformation or anything else. https://t.co/8l7VWLAUSa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

You'll be shocked to learn that one of the liberal Twitter accounts most responsible for the spreading of this lie about the Florida bill was @ProjectLincoln. Even despite CNN's debunking of this lie, it's still up with a link to the false article. https://t.co/txGi4Pm4oN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani @ddale8 It was recently rejuvenated by liberal Twitter, than made its way to Salon, then was aggressively spread by the largest #Resistance accounts such as @StephenKing and @ProjectLincoln. https://t.co/txGi4Pm4oN — PolitiTweet.org

Again, these are the same people who not only claim to be combatting disinformation but insist they are so reliably honest and have such superior wisdom they should be trusted to *censor the internet* in its name. Nobody spreads disinformation most casually and destructively. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Then we have the even-more viral claim -- that made its way to the WH -- that Border Patrol agents "whipped" migrants, a claim spread by various Dem House members and Dem media figures like @chrislhayes. Even the Biden Admin now admits that never happened. https://t.co/FdCVIsWiB2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Let's see where disinformation comes from. The wildly viral tweets claiming that a Florida law signed by Ron DeSantis requires students to register their political views is so blatantly false that CNN's @ddale8 does not even try to mask how false it was: https://t.co/mYS52mzWEh — PolitiTweet.org

@alochico @TheWolfieB @edubtalves @Gabis09106720 @davidmirandario His explaining to you that, as you did with the first tweet, you're blatantly lying. I never deleted blog posts, and I didn't start writing about politics until late 2005, 2 1/2 years after the invasion of Iraq. My first book, in early 2006, was about the crimes of Bush/Cheney. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alochico @edubtalves @Gabis09106720 @davidmirandario Yes, you seem incredibly worried. And it doesn't matter what you tell yourself on your way to voting or what symbols you use on Twitter: only how you vote. https://t.co/UClK2y8Rc1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alochico @edubtalves @Gabis09106720 @davidmirandario No, you're lying. You're thinking of Odebrecht and other billionaires who fund PT. It's true thet the Intercept Brasil -- when doing the reporting that freed Lula -- was funded by an American billionaire named Pierre Omidyar, but I don't recall the left complaining about this. — PolitiTweet.org

This new Substack is great, highly recommended. @JordanUhl focuses on, and extensively documents, the economic and social wreckage wrought by the neoliberal ideology of the establishment wings of both parties. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@edubtalves @Gabis09106720 @davidmirandario O Brasil tb tem fascistas protestando nas ruas. Protestaram contra mim durante eventos que fiz durante a #VazaJato. E não to tentando impor nada. To argumentando que quaisquer decisões tomadas devem ser feitas democraticamente, não por bilionários americanos e seus monopólios. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mauricioborgesr @edubtalves @Gabis09106720 @davidmirandario Não: errado. Sem primeiro declarar os monopólios do Facebook e do Google – o que deveria ser feito, mas não foi – é difícil criar teorias sobre pq os tribunais podem ditar a eles quem devem e não devem censurar. Esse é o ponto de AMLO: eles são mais poderosos que as democracias. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jonesmanoel_PCB @davidmirandario Como alguém que perdeu grande parte da minha família no Holocausto, e que é um membro de pelo menos dois grupos que foram seus principais alvos, tento ser mais responsável com a palavra nazista. Faz parte do seu programa para o governador matar Monark e pessoas como ele? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@edubtalves @Gabis09106720 @davidmirandario Mas meu ponto é que essas decisões de censura não estão sendo tomadas por juízes nem politicos brasileiros. Não é quem está controlando os debates brasileiros na internet. Essas decisões estão sendo tomadas por bilionários americanos e monopólios tecnológicos estrangeiros. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@edubtalves @Gabis09106720 @davidmirandario Agora é a esquerda que vai me dizer isso -- apesar de morar aqui 17 anos, ter filhos brasileiros, fundar um brasileiro site das noticias -- não tenho o direito de falar sobre a política brasileira? Nunca ouvi isso durante a #VazaJato, o impeachment de Dilma, apoio ao Ciro, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jonesmanoel_PCB @davidmirandario Sim, sou contra todo tipo de censura, mas esse não foi o tema desta entrevista. Meu ponto era sobre os perigos do imperialismo: ter bilionários americanos ditando os limites dos debates do Brasil. Dada a sua ideologia, eu ficaria muito chocado se você apoiasse esse sistema. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jonesmanoel_PCB @davidmirandario Sei que não quer admitir, mas vc está concordando - não discordando - com o meu ponto. O ponto de Merkel, Macron, AMLO e outros quando o Google/FB baniu Trump foi que essas decisões deveriam ser tomadas democraticamente por cada país, não por bilionários estrangeiros não eleitos. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jonesmanoel_PCB @davidmirandario Jones, muitos países têm essas crenças de liberdade de expressão, mas eu não estava falando sobre isso nesta entrevista, mas o imperialismo de ter bilionários americanos no Facebook e Google decidem os limites dos debates brasileiros. É o ponto de AMLO: https://t.co/dDOehSCZmn — PolitiTweet.org
