To the extent there's any questioning of the Biden Admin's stunningly rapid escalation of its involvement in a war with the nation with the largest nuclear stockpile, it comes solely from parts of the GOP and small sectors of right-wing media. Just pure compliance from the left: https://t.co/9LqOOZHPxX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What's happening in DC seems to be a bridge too far even for NYT. In its report on Congress' approval of $40b more for the war in Ukraine - with every Dem voting YES - they note over and over: there is almost no questioning or debate over this escalation: https://t.co/LTCiaD6jPD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's not even an inkling of this sentiment anywhere on the mainstream American left (meaning the Bernie/AOC "left"). They are -- yet again -- in pure lockstep unity with the establishment wings of both parties over rapidly escalating a war with a nuclear-armed power. — PolitiTweet.org

Opponents of the US war in Vietnam were deemed "pro-Hồ Chí Minh." Those opposed to the invasion of Iraq were "pro-Saddam." Those opposed to the NATO bombing of Libya were "pro-Gaddafi." Now those opposed to the US role in Ukraine are "pro-Putin." It's a US war tradition: — PolitiTweet.org

@TomJackmanWP Is there any criticism one can voice of Democrats these days that doesn't prompt corporate journalists to immediately rush to their defense? I'm sorry if my critique of Chuck Schumer's antics offended you. — PolitiTweet.org

@Trumpsocilism The income I receive from Rumble is a small portion of my overall income from journalism, and it doesn't come from nor is it controlled by Thiel. The vast majority of my journalism income comes from my readers, who subscribe to and support my work. https://t.co/HLVQYnFBVv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Trumpsocilism I'm sorry to say that you're abjectly lying. Rumble was founded in 2013 by a Canadian liberal, Chris Pavlovski. Thiel didn't invest in Rumble until 2021, when he became a small minority investor. Pavlovski remains the CEO and majority shareholder of Rumble, with full control. — PolitiTweet.org

@aaronsibarium What happened is @ACLU has basically decided that it can never condemn or oppose any policy without asserting that said policy disproportionately harms all the marginalized groups on its victim-list, leading them to even claim that abortion bans "disproportionately harm" LGBTs.🤣 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@aaronsibarium Using the ACLU matrix for the world: if a trans man and a cis man have sex, it's considered gay sex that can result in pregnancy. Even indulging all that, to say that abortion bans fall "disproportionately" on the LGTB community is so preposterous that one can only laugh. — PolitiTweet.org

@Reluctant_Us3r You mean the way American liberals and the neocons they despised for the last 20 years are now in the same political party, at the same cable networks, and are in full agreement on virtually everything? — PolitiTweet.org

@Trumpsocilism Peter Thiel's company had to publicly apologize for getting caught plotting to destroy my reputation over WikiLeaks. I've criticized Thiel repeatedly over the years. He has no control over and doesn't fund my journalism. But I passionately support his online free speech advocacy. https://t.co/Q8wMnbV7Qb — PolitiTweet.org

(I realize my agreement with Chomsky, Lula, AMLO and many others like them on the US role in Ukraine is yet more proof of my sad and tragic turn to the far-right. It's something I'll have to live with. Fortunately, there are 2 shows where this dissent is aired: 8 & 10pm on Fox). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I highly recommend the full interview -- if, for no other reason, that hearing dissent from the US role in Ukraine is so rare for Americans and Westerners generally. Here's Chomsky's view of how diplomacy could work, and how US/UK have been blocking it: https://t.co/pqcxN2PnK3 https://t.co/EO4WloGUVd — PolitiTweet.org

What did the filibuster have to do with the failure of the Dems' abortion bill in the Senate today???? 51 Senators -- a majority -- voted NO on the bill. It's like living in some surreal twisted world where Dems and media allies keep pretending the filibuster stopped the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

@Trumpsocilism Except for the billionaires who control Google, Facebook Amazon and Apple, whose censorship regime I've spent years denouncing, as well as the billionaires who control the weapons manufacturer industry, who I've repeatedly opposed by denouncing the billions that are sent to them. — PolitiTweet.org

This is fucking hilarious. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Chomsky has been clear from the start in denouncing the Russian invasion as aggression. Opposing the US war role doesn't mean one supports Putin, just as opposition to the invasion of Iraq didn't mean one supported Saddam, or opposition NATO's Libya war meant one was pro-Gadaffi. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's Part 2. Jones asked Chomsky to reconcile his views on Ukraine with his views on Palestine and Vietnam. Chomsky explained that the anti-war view is always the same: you demand the parties negotiate, but don't drown the side you support with weapons to ensure endless war: https://t.co/JbL3W8i46l — PolitiTweet.org

While AOC and the rest of the Squad was voting to send $40 billion more to Raytheon and CIA for US war policy in Ukraine, while most of the left sat quietly, Noam Chomsky was telling @OwenJones84 why the US/UK/NATO role is monstrously and indescribably dangerous and reckless: https://t.co/5UI9IwTttz — PolitiTweet.org

@joenorton Depends on the motive. There's a big difference between deliberately murdering a journalist and having her be accidentally shot in the middle of conflict and shooting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm not opposed to a genuine and thorough investigation to prove definitively who shot and killed Shireen Abu Akleh, but I have serious doubts, to put it mildly, about the US vow to demand "accountability" for those responsible for this heinous act if the proof points to Israel. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RolandB3 The majority of Republicans in the House voted to send $40 billion to Ukraine and it was the Senate Republicans who demanded that Biden's original request be increased. They're all on your side. I didn't realize AOC's voters elected her to help Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

More amazing than all 6 Squad members voting YES to send another $40 billion to Raytheon and CIA and friends for the war in Ukraine is that not one has felt compelled to explain this vote. As usual, they face no pushback or questioning from the left, so they know there's no need. — PolitiTweet.org
