Is this specific point about entering a new war -- all without a vote to be in a war or a Congressional or public debate about whether we should be in a new war, this one with a nuclear-armed Russia -- a valid point? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Mainstream liberal journalists see the US Security State (CIA/DHS/FBI/NSA) as benign, their allies, not a menace or threat that needs constant adversarial scrutiny and skepticism. They worked hand-in-hand with those agencies to undermine Trump. That's where this fraud came from: https://t.co/9RvbackhQL — PolitiTweet.org

Shaming Fox News for talking a lot about the incredibly authoritarian and creepy announcement that Homeland Security was going to start monitoring and decreeing Truth and Falsity, while taking pride that your outlets either cheered it or didn't care. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How incredibly weird that a news outlet would be concerned by the US Security State creating a new Board to decree Truth and Falsity, to be run by a partisan cartoon. Real Journalists would cheer the government for helping us know what to think, or mock it as not a big deal: — PolitiTweet.org

My other favorite part of this clip is how they act like they discovered some grand epiphany, some never-before-unearthed insight, by demanding Dems call the GOP "racists" when the only 2 rhetoric tactics Dems have had since 2015 is: 1) You're racist! 2) You're a Kremlin agent! — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kdrum Thanks, Kevin. I feel you're overestimating my power to influence the viewing choices of young Americans Dems but I often have a problem with excess humility so maybe you're right. If so, I'm saving many from insane disinformation and advocacy of censorship and militarism. — PolitiTweet.org

"Surprise! Tucker Carlson Draws the Most Democratic Viewers in Key Demo, Even Topping Rachel Maddow" https://t.co/8uGI2u4qSU [MSNBC will need another explanation for his leading popularity beyond: "old white Republican men are racists"] — PolitiTweet.org

"Of those [younger] viewers surveyed who identified as Democrats, 39% chose Fox News, 31% chose MSNBC and 30% chose CNN from 8 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET. In total-day viewership, Fox News grabbed 42% of Democrats aged 25-54, CNN nabbed 33% and MSNBC got 25%." https://t.co/8uGI2u4qSU — PolitiTweet.org

@laura_hofreiter @NathanJRobinson No. I asked for examples of prominent left with media voices who criticized the Squad for their unanimous vote in support of Biden's $40b Ukraine war package. Are you aware of any? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The other bizarre aspect of the Nina-Jankowicz/@TaylorLorenz saga: Taylor depicts this poor, marginalized DHS official as the victim of "right-wing" disinformation, when the most devastating investigative piece on her was this one last week in @TheNation: https://t.co/kkDOmQ3dOg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WobblyLeft @NathanJRobinson I'm curious about this, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@laura_hofreiter @NathanJRobinson How many examples do I need to post of my using my platform to promote and herald left-wing voices dissenting on Ukraine -- including Nathan's own magazine -- before it sinks in in people's brains that I have promoted left-wing dissent on Ukraine? How many more are needed? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson While I have you, though, can you point me to which prominent left media voices have criticized the Squad for their unanimous support for Biden's $40b Ukraine war package? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson You're now too attached to the liberal klout and Twitter show to acknowledge context or error. I just showed you countless examples where I promoted left dissent on Ukraine, and explained the context of the Hawley tweet, yet you still can't admit your accusation was false. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We're about to publish a video, brilliantly produced by @0rf, showing Nicolle Wallace -- all the way back to her Bush/Cheney days to now -- is the Typhoid Mary of disinformation. Nobody spreads it more. To hear calls for criminalization of disinformation on *her show* is amazing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's the 1982 ruling in NAACP v. Claiborne: the case I've cited most over the years to reject holding people (such as imams/CAIR) responsible for the violence carried out by followers. The Wallace/Scarbrough/Frum-led liberal sect of course rejects this: https://t.co/c1ePHbUa7c — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the late 60s and 70s, the State of Mississippi tried to hold local NAACP leaders liable for the violent acts of their followers, claiming thy "incited" the violence through their angry rhetoric. In 1982, the Supreme Ct unanimous ruled in favor of NAACP: would violate 1A. Now: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@i_ma_follower @NathanJRobinson I've spent the week writing and speaking about the unity of Democratic Party lawmakers supporting this $40b atrocity, including the Squad, and how the only NO votes are from GOP. That's the obvious context. I've repeatedly - over and over - highlighted left dissent on Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson Here's more of my promoting left voices dissenting from US/NATO consensus on Ukraine. I've been doing it for months. The tweet to which you responded was about lawmakers voting on this $40b. But you have to see you're lying when saying I don't promote left dissent on Ukraine: https://t.co/ylFu7CHX3z — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson If you were being even minimally honest, Nathan, you would look at these and immediately retract as a lie your claim that I haven't promoted left-wing voices expressing dissent on Ukraine. I have constantly, including your magazine: https://t.co/DGIRKhesbz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson I've repeatedly re-tweeted, promoted and cited left voices on Ukraine. I've posted multiple Chomsky videos from the start. I've cited Yanis Varoufakis and Melenchon. And I've even re-tweeted you/CA and Jacobin. So the only lie is that I don't cite left-wing voices on Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson Do you know who Josh Hawley is? He's not a media figure. He's an elected official in Congress. And that's the context of my tweet: the entire Dem Party and Squad are fully united in support of Biden's war package and policy. The only dissent is found in the right-wing GOP wing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@redsteeze Gigantic mystery. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Indeed, Jankowicz has a very long history of defending Lorenz and expressing solidarity for the trauma Lorenz suffers when her work is criticized. That's almost certainly where Lorenz got her version of events and seems like it should be disclosed when Lorenz defends Jankowicz. https://t.co/R49NHCQ3RZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Also seems odd that WPost allowed @TaylorLorenz (who, credit where due, broke the story of the DHS "pause") to write an entire article arguing Nina Jankowicz should be off-limits from criticism, without mentioning Jankowicz argued the same about Lorenz: https://t.co/Sh6mzcKRe0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Without having the US Government's Department of Homeland Security have a Disinformation Board run by Nina Jankowicz to decree truth and falsity, how will we know what we should believe and not believe? How can a democracy function without DHS telling us what is true and false? — PolitiTweet.org

@Maro53947712 @davidson_dylan @BeamerCecil I never received a single penny from any cable outlet in my life. — PolitiTweet.org

In sum, a free press exists to unmask and punish private citizens with the wrong politics ("shoe-lace reporting"), not to investigate and scrutinize the beliefs, conduct and claims of powerful government officials ("harassment" and bullying). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Summary of the rules from the WPost and @TaylorLorenz in case you're confused: -- High-level officials of the Department of Homeland Security: off-limits from investigation and criticism! -- Anonymous citizens who tweet bad ideologies: Dox, Unmask, Bang on relatives' doors! https://t.co/mt1MIRtXZb — PolitiTweet.org
