@tomselliott @JoelSalatin Right, I mean of course I'd prefer family farms to industrial agriculture. The problem is the Smithfields and the JBSs of the world are rapidly destroying family farms or putting them into captivity to them - same with other industries - through lobbyist control and the like. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeStillAwake Fair enough: in general the indicators you use signify reluctant albeit reliable support for Dems, but I acknowledge that characterization in your case appears erroneous. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AGHamilton29 That episode with Breanna Muir was from February. The reporter profusely apologized right away. Now that they're all venting all their various grievances in public, it will be impossible for editors to stop the meltdowns. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeStillAwake That soft DNC leftists like you think it somehow reflects poorly on me that I need security in light of the threats of violence due to my reporting is nothing short of bizarre. Either way, security doesn't cause climate harms; beef consumption does. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tomselliott Yeah -- but aside from the ethical issues involving animal abuse, which (as you acknowledge) are grave, industrial agriculture requires mass deforestation, i.e., the destruction of trees, especially in the Amazon but also elsewhere: https://t.co/oJElYOVjPW — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeStillAwake "Let me keep eating beef in peace and supporting the industry that causes the greatest damage to the climate while I sanctimoniously lecture everyone on how the climate crisis is an existential threat, all without anyone pointing out my refusal to act in the name of my beliefs." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KrillTusk @broom_error Me, too. I was asking the person mocking the idea that this should be discussed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

WPost's media critic, @ErikWemple, criticized the paper for publishing the op-ed by ACLU, under Amber Heard's name. He asked the Post for comment since a jury found it defamatory. Their answer: "We do not take stands on the opinions shared in our op-eds" https://t.co/ffo7jmLyFt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@broom_error Do you support and consume the industrial animal agricultural industry? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeStillAwake That's a moronic comparison from someone who refuses to sacrifice in any way for their alleged beliefs. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Stuffer80 I regard support for industrial animal agriculture as one of the greatest moral evils. Boredom isn't required for me to speak on this topic. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All studies now show consumption of beef and support for industrial animal agriculture in general is a leading cause of climate change, if not the greatest cause. While individual action alone won't solve it, it's a rather good test for the authenticity of one's claimed beliefs. https://t.co/hdtk2676Vs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Is there an inconsistency between (a) left-liberals insisting that the climate crisis is the greatest and most existential threat to humanity, and (b) their refusal to stop consuming beef, the one behavioral change they could make in their lives that actually requires sacrifice? — PolitiTweet.org

@LaurelLeader74 @alannicholls4 @AmandiOnAir Both Tucker and Laura have repeatedly said how wrong they were in those debates, in clips I've repeatedly posted. Liz Cheney, by contrast, vocally advocates for defends those policies until this very day. That's a rather fundamental difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Democrats, in between lighting votive candles in honor of Liz Cheney, David Frum and Robert Mueller, and sharing playful and adoring memes about George W. Bush, Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace: "What Happened To You???" — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alannicholls4 @AmandiOnAir I personally think it's relevant that Democrats now routinely gush over and herald as heroic someone who is a vocal supporter of torture, rendition, CIA black sites, wars of aggression, coups and invasions, though I realize that Dems no longer care about such trivial matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Amandi also claims "foreign-born and first generation born Americans" are as hysterically obsessed as he about 1/6 and the supposed fascist take over of the GOP, which is odd given this CNN op-ed entitled: "Why Latinos are turning to the Republican Party" https://t.co/qCEMr7UOW1 https://t.co/aNWFuX6nC2 — PolitiTweet.org

@JameelJaffer @ACLU @TheFIREorg They've also largely stayed away from -- except in the most tepid and sporadic ways -- the greatest free speech controversy of the last several years: ongoing threats/pressure/coercion by USG on Big Tech to censor: same with civil liberties assaults in the name of 1/6. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JameelJaffer @ACLU @TheFIREorg You're familiar with all the ACLU critiques, Jameel, which I can't comprehensively list in a tweet: Chase saying that censoring a book was a "hill he'd die on"; them cheering deprivations of due process; the post-Charleston rules adjustments; the Amber Heard fiasco, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Dom has mostly worked for the Guardian but has covered Brazil and specifically the Amazon for many outlets. He has a genuine passion for the Amazon and has used his journalism to denounce its illegal exploitation. I hope he's found safe, and soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A great journalist and nice guy who has covered Brazil for the Guardian for years, @domphillips, has disappeared in a remote area of the Amazon. He received threats from logging and mining interests who use violence to invade land of isolated tribes. https://t.co/tstWZP7rLD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This, right here, is what internet censorship is for. It's particularly why we have the surreal situation where journalists are not the leading defenders of free speech but the leading crusaders for censorship: Knowing they lost the public's trust, they need *captive* audiences: — PolitiTweet.org

@VictorKoran @Acliffe I'm sorry that you judge yourself as worthless and too unimportant to be engaged due to your low follower count. I don't judge people's worth that way and never have.
