@MartinRJay You're absolutely right about my contempt for the mainstream British press, which I've written about many times and never hid, but on the question of whether Assange is or should be considered a journalist, see here: https://t.co/iTlZrwt9SU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@VarunVira_ They're not mutually exclusive and there's no reason to pit them, one against the other this way. That's kind of deranged. I've spent almost every day since his disappearance talking about Dom's case, and Assange's. But one can do something to free Assange. — PolitiTweet.org

@MD_e_L_i_G_h_T I think Kyrgios is the most naturally talented (and exciting) player after Federer and, especially on grass, can be close to unbeatable, but the reasons it hasn't happened are well known. — PolitiTweet.org

@GlennJurena @DaniilMedwed Djokovic, at least as of now, is also going to be barred from the US Open because non-vaccinated people can't enter the US (non-vaccinated US players can play, as can Russia players). 🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

@MD_e_L_i_G_h_T I just mean based on results during the 2022 grass-court season. Tomorrow will be his second straight final. Only Berrettini has put up comparable success. — PolitiTweet.org

@StevanBradican @E_heppner31 @DaniilMedwed No. Nor, weirdly, are American players banned as a result of their government's embrace of Saudi despots and, along with the British, enabling of their destruction of Yemen. No American or British players were banned during the attack on Iraq either, for some baffling reason. — PolitiTweet.org

This was the most the radical left-wing enemy of ruling class power could muster when asked directly: https://t.co/5B0YY6zgNl — PolitiTweet.org

When you're a dissident, subversive threat to establishment power and the DC ruling class. https://t.co/6MSINPieBz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@E_heppner31 @DaniilMedwed Fair. And you have Nadal, Djokovic and an in-form-until-injured Andy Murray playing, too, so it's not like Medvedev would be some sort of prohibitive favorite, but he'd clearly be one of the top 5 and, at worst, the 2nd best results on grass (we'll see what happens tomorrow). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Now that NBC and CNN are filled with ex US Security State operatives on the payroll, goons like former FBI Asst. Dir. @FrankFigliuzzi1 (now of NBC) attack colleague @AymanM for calling Assange a journalist. Assange never even worked for CIA/NSA/DOJ: how he can be a journalist?? https://t.co/qVnSezpqvx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Hard to express how much better US political discourse -- and policy -- would be if the left had an actual anti-establishment dissident-leader like @JLMelenchon. But alas, it only has Dem Party loyalists like Bernie and AOC who play-act, then faithfully snap into line. https://t.co/BKTh3VXrYx — PolitiTweet.org

The best grass-court player heading into Wimbledon is world number 1 @DaniilMedwed, but he's barred because the British fanatics who run it -- alone among Grand Slams -- have banned him for the crime of being Russian. So now it's a glorified pompous exhibition with no points.🇬🇧 — PolitiTweet.org

@Justin_Higgins2 Are @AymanM, @RandPaul, @TuckerCarlson and @amnesty also all Russian assets? https://t.co/kuefSsQ8Rg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AllenSmithee6 Exactly. 2016 happened. The reason they want to see Assange in prison isn't because of what he's charged with -- the 2010 release of the Manning archive -- but for liberals, his real crime is they believe he helped defeat Hillary, and to them, that merits life in prison. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Look at how broken these people's brains are. Every major civil liberties group, press freedom organization, and human rights NGO in the US/UK -- to say nothing of all sorts of world leaders -- are condemning Assnage's persecution, and this is what the US liberal brain produces: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Justin_Higgins2 Look at all these other Russian agents. https://t.co/BcVCCoHUD7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChefyLefty This same group of right-wing populists - Tucker, Matt Gaetz, Rand Paul, etc. - were on this same crusade during the Trump years, condemning his prosecution and urging a pardon. I'm sorry your Bernie/Squad stars can't muster real opposition or dissent. https://t.co/x4ZPQNsfri — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@fakebot696969 Tucker -- along with people like Rand Paul and Matt Gaetz -- went on a virtual crusade to urge a pardon for Assange, devoting his show week after week during the Trump years to advocating for his pardon and exoneration. https://t.co/dnf8xBM4yV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChefyLefty AOC, Bernie and the Squad were also afraid to say any of this when it was the Trump DOJ and CIA pursuing Assange. During the Trump years, the only real opposition in national politics to this prosecution also came from the populist right (Rand Paul, Matt Gaetz, Tucker). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And again, every major press freedom, human rights and civil liberties group in the US/UK are echoing exactly what MTG said about this Assange persecution. The utter silence of major left-liberal figures in the US is nothing short of disgraceful (as unsurprising as it is). https://t.co/1IZuoUTlSs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yesterday, @AymanM -- one of the only non-Fox national journalists who has consistently warned of the dangers of the Assange prosecution -- hosted Assange's brother to explain the grave dangers to press freedom this prosecution presents: https://t.co/ekoVdNeZas — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Assange's indictment was unveiled in 2019, I wrote a WPost op-ed warning: its core theory could criminalize all investigative reporting. A year later, that same theory was used by Brazilian prosecutors to indict me for our reporting that freed Lula: https://t.co/ztrWmG2XpZ — PolitiTweet.org

@onionsack Or, alternatively, I've been pointing out this dynamic in different ways -- in every way I can think of -- for many years now. — PolitiTweet.org

@HuttonBig How can your brain possibly be this incapable of basic logical reasoning? — PolitiTweet.org

@TheRightPodcast People who support CIA, revere the FBI, and vote for Biden's war package to send $54 billion to Ukrainian neo-Nazi battalions are extremist reactionaries but you have no problem embracing and celebrating them. You're just drowning in partisan propaganda and cant see this. — PolitiTweet.org
