How many times does the same NYT/WPost reporter have to be caught lying before her frightened colleagues cease defending her or remain silent? Again, media employees love lamenting that they lost the trust of the public, but *never* look in the mirror to ask why this happened. — PolitiTweet.org

@JellyJimmyJelly @Harpers Maybe once you're done obsessively and intensely rolling your eyes -- which, I've heard from physicians, isn't healthy to do -- you can use your eyes instead to read the article so that you can find out what the actual concerns are. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I highly recommend this essay on COVID authoritarianism in @Harpers by Justin E.H. Smith. Just as the security infrastructure built in the name of 9/11 became permanent, so, too, will the control mechanisms implemented in the name of public health: https://t.co/MP9Hp61P7v — PolitiTweet.org

And by the way: losing track of cash and these weapons in a gigantic spending spree for war isn't a bug in Washington, but a feature: the key feature. That's why nothing enriches the permanent DC class and empowers the Deep State more than war packages. It's why they love them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That the Pentagon would lose track of where these dangerous weapons and this huge amount of cash were going was as predictable as it was dangerous. All Dems, including the Squad, didn't care, and thus did their duty and voted YES. And yet again, look what we have: https://t.co/6uMvIbXF5G — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Before Congress approved Biden's extra $40b for the war in Ukraine - with all Dems voting YES - @RandPaul was widely called a Kremlin agent for urging basic oversight and accountability. Now, of course, nobody knows where the money or weapons are going: https://t.co/p9cWnTKzHT — PolitiTweet.org

@MxShantastic @JoshuaFeuerstei @theshgofdfw @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY The one "dividing the left" is the white lady from Majority Report who decided to run in a seat where the entire left already backed a progressive Latina. So if you really believe Peter Thiel sits around giving a shit about "dividing the left," blame that Nomiki person, not me. — PolitiTweet.org

@MxShantastic @JoshuaFeuerstei @theshgofdfw @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY Aside from the fact that I interviewed and then urged donations for AOC in 2018 when few knew who she was, the idea that my Substack is affected by which liberal/DNC YouTube freak runs for NY State Senate, or that Peter Thiel gives two shits about DSA infighting, is hilarious. — PolitiTweet.org

WashPost, 2015 (pre-Trump): ACLU in severe financial difficult, major staff lay-offs. WashPost, Jan. 30, 2017 (10 days after Trump's inauguration): ACLU swimming in $24 million in donations from anti-Trump Democrats in 1 weekend. That's what ruined a once-great organization. https://t.co/fZ5qF8b7wM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

ACLU previously issued a statement admitting that 1) Heard promised to give the group $3.5 million; 2) it *thereafter* made her its Ambassador for Gender Justice and 3) it wrote her WPost op-ed the jury found defamatory, but denies its motive was money: https://t.co/oGsffzXtvk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The ACLU refuses to comment on the defamation verdict issued against its Ambassador for Gender Justice Amber Heard: a position she got after vowing to give $3.5 million to ACLU (she never did). ACLU ghost-wrote the defamatory article. Also won't say if she'll remain in that post. https://t.co/ispzmmxh3M — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelMarcou19 @stinkyb41647944 @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY That's the hallmark of a Kremlin operative. One way Russia and other foreign adversaries weaken the left is by siphoning away money that could be used for viable left wing candidates, like @Gonzalez4NY. Makes total sense that Nomiki is following this playbook. — PolitiTweet.org

@thisaintIivin @NomikiKonst @scottjblair @Gonzalez4NY Because this is the rotted brain of a pure fascist: https://t.co/G4lPponYyC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davidmweissman It's because the US likes tyranny and despotism -- and doesn't oppose it -- when that tyranny is used to suppress the population's wishes and serve US interests. They should just be honest about that, instead of having their media say they fight for democracy & against tyranny. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NomikiKonst @scottjblair @Gonzalez4NY You're still sabotaging a DSA-backed Latina progressive -- backed by most of the institutional left -- and thus threatening to divide the left. Since you previously said Congress should investigate those who divide the left, you should call on Congress to investigate you. I do. https://t.co/7tfhSgsBye — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamSeder How many other fascist white ladies do you have on your staff ready to sabotage a DSA-backed progressive Latina? Are you going to announce tomorrow that Emma is launching a primary challenge to AOC? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TrueNorthPolit1 Do you also believe that Congress should investigate those who divide the left, the way Nomiki is doing? What other white ladies do you want to sabotage DSA-backed progressive Latinas already running? How proud are you of your own racism? — PolitiTweet.org

@SamZHaut That's not the contradiction I'm referencing, making your point irrelevant. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Mlake9E Yes, anyone literate does remember when I did that, you fucking drooling Democratic Party hack. https://t.co/mjgY0keBBT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As I said, the childish propaganda from the US and UK that they defend democracy and fight tyranny only works on the US and British press. For the rest of the world -- especially the many countries whose democracy was destroyed by the US/UK -- it only produces fits of laughter. https://t.co/XHw2OE7i7T — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@stinkyb41647944 @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY That doesn't answer whether Nomiki is being funded by Putin or other foreign adversaries to divide the left. By her own primitive, McCarthyite reasoning, this Majority Report regular should be investigated by Congress. Join me in demanding this. — PolitiTweet.org

@Reluctant_Us3r I write for an audience of adults who can read words, not an audience of 4-year-olds whose brains can only process pictures. My articles aren't for people like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@scottjblair @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY I'm sorry -- but not at all surprised -- that Majority Report fans think it's trivial that some white lady is parachuting into a race where a Latina progressive already has lined up leftist support, threatening to sabotage her candidacy out of narcissism and entitlement. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Reluctant_Us3r I wrote about Trump's relationship with the Saudis when he was president, as I just showed you. Now that the President is named Joe Biden (at least nominally), I focus on his relationship with the Saudis. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Reluctant_Us3r Yes, the one I wrote about here: https://t.co/mjgY0keBBT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is why US/UK propaganda -- they fight to support freedom and democracy -- only works on their own media while the rest of the world cackles. Biden could hand MbS AK-15s while claiming the US hates despotism and the Western media would applaud and not see any contradiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

NYT: "Biden, who as a candidate vowed to make Saudi Arabia a 'pariah'... has decided to travel to Riyadh to rebuild relations with the oil-rich kingdom." How the Saudi tyranny's key supporters (US/UK) convince their populations they "support democracy" is an enduring mystery. — PolitiTweet.org
