Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On my @getcallin podcast last night, we discussed my article on Biden's request for $33 billion more for Ukraine, how Congressional leaders immediately raised it to $40b, and whet this says about Washington. Great Q&A. Those interested can listen here: https://t.co/seAxFWaU10 — PolitiTweet.org

@cacm1975 Com que frequência você assiste a esse programa? Ou seu conhecimento é baseado no que os jornalistas americanos e grupos de defesa do Partido Democrata lhe dizem e nos trechos de vídeo que eles escolhem para você? Você conhece a opinião dele sobre o papel dos EUA na Ucrânia? — PolitiTweet.org

And then there was this incredible act: AOC voted "present" -- not NO or YES -- to fund Israel's Iron Dome, then wept as if the victim in all of this was herself. Thank you for that courageous "present" vote: same as with Pelosi's $2b more for Police: https://t.co/9r31jMGUj3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Remember when we were supposed to view AOC's 2018 primary victory over Joe Crowley (one I supported) as some revolutionary act? Yeah, imagine how different the world would be if Crowley still held that seat. One shudders at the darkness that would prevail without AOC there. https://t.co/jUbSpNxsAh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yesterday, Chomsky gave another interview, this one to @OwenJones84, warning of the grave dangers of US/NATO in Ukraine. Meanwhile, AOC and the rest of the Squad just blindly vote YES to send another $40b to the war, even after Biden only asked for $33b. https://t.co/oKoYOSDGTw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The way they obey and fall into line to Pelosi is half-creepy and half-impressive. Last July, the Squad vowed to vote NO on Pelosi's $2b more for Capitol Police - 6 months after chanting "Defend the Police!". @AOC reversed when she saw her NO vote would sink Pelosi's demand. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AntifaVictim You know you're a hard-core, blindly partisan Democratic hack when you look for reasons why the pro-war votes of your favorite revolutionary progressive political stars are somehow morally superior to the anti-war votes of Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@patriotgurls You have the brain of a 4-year-old. You also should have a picture of Joseph McCarthy on your wall since he pioneered the filthy tactic of equating opposition to US Government policy with loyalty to the Kremlin. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Last night, 57 House Members voted NO on the bill to send another $40 billion (on top of the $14b already spent) to the war in Ukraine. All 57 NO votes were Republicans. *All Squad members* joined all other Democrats to vote YES. Does this tell us anything about these factions? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Isso não significa que se deva reescrever a história (p ex: passar 20 anos acusando alguém de ser fascista/racista, agora fingir que nada aconteceu). Mas abraçar outros apesar das diferenças é a melhor expressão do amor cristão e faz a sociedade progredir https://t.co/VHL2VJ5URn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Quando os humanos são capazes de se conectar através do bem que levam em si e de sua humanidade, mesmo reconhecendo (não ignorando) as diferenças importantes, é quando a política mas tb a sociedade prospera. Uma política que exige acordo completo é tóxica, feia e destrutiva. https://t.co/laRslgYkF7 — PolitiTweet.org

"The Democratic-led House of Representatives voted 368-57 on Tuesday evening to pass a roughly $40 billion bill to deliver aid to Ukraine as it continues to face Russia's brutal assault. **All 57 votes in opposition were from Republicans**." https://t.co/39GP6pXZzS — PolitiTweet.org

Starting now live, with Q-and-A: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@chesterBirdbath @normative There's not just a consensus. There's one of the most comprehensive, serious and scholarly reports ever issued on the topic substantiating that view. And my argument isn't that nobody can dispute it. It's that there's a more serious case for regulation than Julian acknowledged. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@normative Beyond US Congress and US scholars, the European anti-trust scholar community and legislators have also found that these companies posses the defining, classic features of monopolies that justify state intervention. They could all be wrong, of course. https://t.co/mnY2qtdeuO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@normative It's the consensus of the members of Congress from both parties who study and legislate in anti-trust law, and they issued a 450-page report, which you obviously never read, in conjunction with the nation's leading anti-trust scholars, on why these 4 companies are monopolies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@normative The consensus among anti-trust Committee members in Congress, now from both parties, is that Facebook, Google (which owns YouTube), Apple and Amazon are classic monopolies in violation of the anti-trust laws. That has always justified state intervention: https://t.co/28O8cutqKs — PolitiTweet.org

@wmcintyre84 @AlexBroening Do you know how to read? I said it's up to Ukrainians to decide what they want to do in their country. My argument is about the US Government and whose interests it is supposed to be serving with the resources it collects from its citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RyanDevan0 Who is "we"? https://t.co/zPGde5flRK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AlexBroening I don't think Ukrainians benefit by prolonging the war as much as possible on their soil, turning their country into a Syria or Afghanistan, and killing as many of them as possible. But if they want that, they can do that. The issue is who the US Govt is supposed to be serving. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@adream608 @getcallin I've been writing about exactly these issues for 15 years. The idea that one has corrupt motives because they use platforms to be heard would indict literally every person in politics and journalism. I also don't make money from Callin views. Other than all that, excellent point. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FeelsLlc I'm a US citizen who has all the rights and responsibilities of US citizenship - just like the other 9 million Americans who live abroad -- and pays taxes to the US Government. I thus have not just the right but the responsibility to speak about the actions of my government. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'll be on my @getcallin podcast, tonight at 9 pm ET -- one hour from now -- to discuss this article, the way Congress immediately raised Biden's $33b request to $40b, and who is, and is not, benefitting from this constant and rapid war escalation. https://t.co/h1BJGACCoM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yet again we find the central lie of the US media narrative: the 2 parties have nothing in common, can't get along. Every time there's a new war, like now, the establishment wings unite in bipartisan lockstep, to serve everyone but their own constituents: https://t.co/Vl2LqDwSXw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The US Left, such that it exists, has disappeared from the debate over Ukraine. Other than a few demonized cases (Chomsky), it is for to the international left and the US populist right to object that none of this is benefiting ordinary Americans, who are incurring massive risks. https://t.co/Mj4Czeijrw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Americans are living in poverty, without health insurance, can't buy insulin or baby formula. Meanwhile, the US - 10 weeks into the war - is poised to spend $55 billion. That's almost as much as Russia's total military budget, and more than the US annual average in Afghanistan! — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If the US were invaded or the security of its citizens threatened, of course the US Govt should expend large sums on war. That's not even arguably the case here. So 8 months after the 20-year war in Afghanistan ends, weapons manufacturers have a more lucrative market than ever. — PolitiTweet.org
