@NotMyLinkedIn You should ask Lula da Silva how he got out of prison, and then ask the Brazilian government why they charged me with 126 felony counts for my reporting in 2020, if I haven't been a journalist since 7 years ago. https://t.co/EYqIe8LqNP — PolitiTweet.org

Lula and his wife announced yesterday that they both tested positive for COVID. Lula is 76 but in excellent physical shape. He's asymptomatic and his wife has light symptoms. It's good that we're at the point when such announcements are essentially non-events: — PolitiTweet.org

@roundingerrorr Aside from the fact that many large outlets around the world reported the Snowden story and it won almost every major journalism award in the West, Snowden ended up in Russia because Obama officials trapped him there, as they boasted in their books: https://t.co/0SHIT7q2Fz — PolitiTweet.org

@thegreydunadan You're the one popping up to defend a Republican Congressman, not me. And no, there's not a single view I've advocated or endorsed over the last decade that I've renounced or abandoned. — PolitiTweet.org

Members of Congress accusing American journalists of being Kremlin assets was tried and played out in the 1950s. It ended pretty poorly for all those involved. Only a few months more until this one-term warmongering sad sack hysteric disappears forever into MSNBC or CNN land. — PolitiTweet.org

@PogCrab That you believe that free speech rights and defense of pro-Palestinian students' rights are right-wing values (the "con rabbit hole") shows how and why the American liberal-left has become so authoritarian and fucked. https://t.co/lVyNFNCorm — PolitiTweet.org

And if one woke up and decided to make themselves as irrelevant as possible, this tweet has the perfect formula. If you publicly pledge your permanent, unconditional loyalty to a Party, then obviously they're going to ignore your grievances. They should: https://t.co/g0S9ZFplze — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone even casually following Biden's career or the trajectory of the Dem Party over the last 3 decades would have known that exactly the events lamented in this thread would happen.👇 The gap between what Dems pretend to be and the reality of who they are could not be bigger. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheRightPodcast They have good remedial reading classes now that can help you with your inability to comprehend basic sentences and ideas. Check the internet for local tutors or adult group classes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's been an attempt by some to depict FIRE as a right-wing group. That's false and uninformed. They do defend conservatives -- often targets of campus censorship -- but they've also regularly defended free speech rights of pro-Palestinian students. https://t.co/lVyNFNCorm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In Politico, @joshgerstein has more on how FIRE -- seeing the void left by ACLU's sad abandonment of this function -- is now expanding. As Gerstein notes,"many on the political left" are now "disillusioned about unfettered free speech": undeniably true https://t.co/r0BMr43Kqp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As @ACLU has degraded into a standard left-liberal cultural advocacy group with occasional free speech defenses, @TheFIREorg has become the genuine free speech advocacy group regardless of party or ideology. They're now expanding beyond campus battles: https://t.co/TIV3jpM2jO — PolitiTweet.org

@primalpoly @wapo One should prefer any job to being imprisoned inside a newsroom where older editors are petrified and terrorized by the prospect of bad faith bigotry/misogyny accusations being weaponized at any moment by unwell, vindictive millennials, and thus constantly indulge their neuroses. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@016ca5f1 LOL. Exactly. Even after Lorenz admitted it and the creator in question proved it with screen shots, the Post still refuses to correct it. Seems the posture of the editors is: eh, we already revised this correction 3 times. That's enough, even if it still has a false claim. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Last point: please remember these are the same people who insist that only they are responsible enough to be trusted with delivering the news and decreeing what is true and false, and that the peasant class must be censored. Decide for yourself if they've earned this status. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(I should say: the most honorable participant in this was Del Real, who simply rose to suggest to Sonmez that perhaps publicly bashing colleagues, trying to get them fired and inciting hate mobs against them is childish and petty. He was predictably accused of misogyny for it).🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those scoring the various victimhood points at home, among the starring marginalized actors in the WPost oppression drama, 2 are graduates of Harvard University (Sonmez and Del Real) while the other was raised in Greenwich, CT, and educated in Swiss boarding schools (Lorenz). — PolitiTweet.org

After WPost reporter @Feliciasonmez publicly accused multiple Post reporters and editors -- including @jdelreal -- of supporting misogyny against her, Del Real retorted that he was the only Mexican American on the national desk and also gay. Experts are tabulating the outcome.🧮 https://t.co/KmyZwwuwpc — PolitiTweet.org

@016ca5f1 The DM was sent after publication of the article. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Perhaps it's also worth nothing: the *third* version of the lengthy, multi-pronged Correction appended to Taylor Lorenz's fairy tale -- now upgraded to "Editors' Note" -- still contains a blatant falsehood. Neither creator was contacted *before* publication, as even she admits: https://t.co/IAtfDWJYUj — PolitiTweet.org

If you're unemployed, a journalist facing prison or exile, or working in a de-industrialized town with no health care benefits and drowning in fentanyl ODs, spare some thoughts for the Real Victims: front page reporters at The WashPost enduring mean tweets from random critics.🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Weekend drama at Robin D'Angelo Junior High -- also known as the national desk of The Washington Post -- gets better and better with each new melodramatic claim of victimhood, bitter public infighting among colleagues, and the race to see who ends up with most oppression points. https://t.co/FTw9xqodgT — PolitiTweet.org

@ChwangJulian Your belief in the fairness and goodness of the US criminal justice system for those charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 would be cute and endearing if you were 6 years old. It is a repressive law designed to criminalize dissent and reporting. https://t.co/vyz57sY8el — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChwangJulian He was in Ecuador's embassy, not Peru's. And he was there because he received asylum from the left-wing Ecuadorians against US persecution. Maybe you should learn basic facts before cheering Jeff Sessions and Mike Pompeo's prosecution of a journalist for exposing US war crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ArjSingh92 Are you really this stupid? I obviously didn't say that no Post reporters have ever faced real persecution. I said the ones who constantly manufacture cheap drama about trivial victimhood such as mean tweets from random people haven't, which is why they need to manufacture it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TanaGaneva My criticisms of TI are all reflective of the corruption of the editorial mission it was supposed to have, which I happen to know and care about because I co-created it on the back of my name and work. I don't care about your views on that, only the falsity of your inital claim. — PolitiTweet.org
