Can anyone advance a cogent argument that Americans are endangered by the war in Ukraine? Clearly, they are far more endangered by the US response to the war; conflict between the U.S. and Russia has long been ranked as one of the two greatest threats facing humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Tens of billions, soon to be hundreds of billions, are flying out of U.S. coffers to Ukraine -- or, more accurately, to the weapons industry -- as ordinary Americans suffer in multiple ways, showing who runs the U.S. Government, and for whose benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Biden Wanted $33 Billion More For Ukraine. Congress Quickly Raised it to $40 Billion. Who Benefits? https://t.co/Vl2LqDwSXw — PolitiTweet.org

@DIYKitCatharsis Ensuring that American citizens can exist above the poverty line, have health insurance, send their kids to college, and have baby formula and insulin are also good things, especially for the US Government. Meanwhile, tough guy: https://t.co/zPGde5flRK — PolitiTweet.org

@DIYKitCatharsis The total Russian military budget for the entire year is $65 billion. The annual average spent by the US on its own war in Afghanistan each year was $45 billion. It's now about to spend close to $55 billion for this war in just 10 weeks, with far more to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Sounds like what the 2016 version of Bernie Sanders would be saying after the US announcement of a massive expenditure of tens of billions of dollars more to the weapons industry for a war in Ukraine, a country Obama said never was and never would be of vital interest to the US: — PolitiTweet.org

@docobgynmom Those approval ratings are taken from the most respected polling firms in the country, operated by free media outlets: the same polling firms that predict Lula will win in October. You know nothing about Brazil. I'd bet anything you couldn't place it on a map. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@docobgynmom You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. To say that "Brazil is a 'democracy' in name only" requires such extreme ignorance that it's hard to put into words. Bolsonaro's party got wiped out in 2020 and all polls predict he will lose to Lula in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Note that the @ACLU recently revealed that Musk is not only "a card-carrying member of the ACLU" but also one of the group's largest donors (though that statement withheld praise for Musk's vow to restore free speech to Twitter): https://t.co/PtWWZq8ZnD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As credit to @ACLU, they issued a statement today praising Elon Musk's vow to restore Trump to Twitter as "the right call." "Like it or not, President Trump is one of the most important political figures in this country. [T]he public has a strong interest in hearing his speech." https://t.co/wu7JfL1acG — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ElaheIzadi: One section of a memo sent to Axios staff Monday discusses protesting or tweeting about abortion, given it permitted staff… — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheRoughGo @kefra You hate and want to demonize the attempt to restore free speech to Twitter because, like most liberals, you're a servant of Big Tech, the US Security State and the Democratic Party that wants this censorship regime to continue. That's who you serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@docobgynmom Which country are you claiming is an "autocracy" -- Brazil or the US? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@synphilter That you believe Brazil is a "dictatorship" rather than a democracy is so stunningly stupid that it should cause you to hide your face in shame until you die. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jordo2323 The leader you support put Jews and LGBTs into concentration camps and murdered them en masse during World War II in what became known as the Holocaust. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden's approval ratings are lower than Jair Bolsonaro's.🇺🇸🇧🇷 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SparrowOat @Acosta You're just a Democrat. Nothing more to your comment, or to you, than that. https://t.co/WOabIXZbxE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Jim @Acosta is going to rant indignantly tonight on CNN against the Biden White House, applying the same standards he did to the Trump WH. Tune in! https://t.co/LuitQglY6X — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Reminder that @Jack apologized for Twitter's banning of the NY Post's pre-election reporting on Biden and locking them out of its account, as well as Trump's permanent banning, both of which he said were mistakes. Everyone should self-reflect this much: https://t.co/jrr0jhfaEH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In @TheAtlantic, law professor @larabazelon argues that @ACLU -- guided by huge amounts of partisan cash and a workforce that prioritizes Dem Party loyalty over civil liberties -- has lost its way. Uses its bizarre role in the Depp/Heard case as a window: https://t.co/oXSf7oZqaY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kefra You're on your knees defending Google, Facebook, the US Security State and the Democratic Party, all of whom favor the censorship regime that you support. — PolitiTweet.org

And now Democrats, through the Department of Homeland Security of all places, want to create an official Disinformation Board, run by a #Resistance fanatic who embodies every extremist partisan sentiment that propelled this unhinged authoritarianism: https://t.co/0qVcJyGjbY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Within a month, Dems (including in media) got Twitter and FB to ban reporting based on authentic docs by spreading CIA's lie that it was "Russian disinformation," then got Twitter and FB to ban the US President. The madness and extremism of this has not been fully appreciated. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheRoughGo You sound like an extremely hateful person, full of hatred and rage. By your reasoning, society would be much better off silencing, deplatforming and censoring you, to be free of your contempt. Listen to AMLO, an actual leftist, abut why people like you are so dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Probably the most eloquent and persuasive objections to Twitter's banning of Trump as dangerous and anti-democratic censorship came from Mexico's President López Obrador. Highly recommended for those who haven't heard it: https://t.co/5cL5vqq3Ug — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Among those objecting to Trump's ban from Twitter as dangerous "censorship" was @Nalvany, as The Washington Post's @jawillick just pointed out👇: https://t.co/lHCCu5Mzhn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@IfIWasDaKing When authoritarians silence and censor everyone who disagrees with them, of course those authoritarians will find the world more agreeable and "civil." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@conservatismDNA Every idea that Democrats disagree with or think is wrong or false should be banned, and those expressing such ideas should be censored and perhaps even prosecuted. — PolitiTweet.org
