The calculus for the US entering the war in Ukraine against Russia as a direct belligerent -- rather than treating Ukraine as its proxy war -- has not and will not change. Nothing is more dangerous than the world's two largest nuclear-armed powers in a direct war. Obama, 2016: https://t.co/wp9AJm4ala — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In stark contrast to the Twitter experts eager to start WW3 by emotionally demanding that the US go to war with Russia due to horrifying yet context-and-evidence-free photos and videos posted by Ukrainian officials, the NYT commendably applies skepticism: https://t.co/r1Z4bAmC69 https://t.co/V9QkilZG8T — PolitiTweet.org

@RatioFeedTom @nhannahjones @BenAdamsO_O @Casestudy261 @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz Not sure that counts as marginalization any more in liberal discourse so I left it out. — PolitiTweet.org

@nhannahjones @BenAdamsO_O @Casestudy261 @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz There's an article in your paper detailing the abuse and deaths threats we receive in Brazil because of my exposés and my husband's work in Congress. It's pretty good. Much of it is racialized and gendered. https://t.co/hcRBMJxNxd But again: I don't blame my critics for this. — PolitiTweet.org

@BenAdamsO_O @nhannahjones @Casestudy261 @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz That said, the very first time that it was claimed that Carlson and I were both fostering attacks on her were when we criticized her for her shoddy journalism: namely, twice falsely accusing someone with whom she was obsessed: https://t.co/bxFtBIBIHA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BenAdamsO_O @nhannahjones @Casestudy261 @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz I agree with you. I'm not proud of that tweet. I've often said Twitter fosters the worst in all of us and definitely don't exclude myself from that. That's an example. But again: this happens to everyone online, not just her. She's not special. And it's not her critics' fault. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when one of the gravest threats to US democracy was the politicization of the DOJ, specifically a President influencing decisions about who should and shouldn't be prosecuted? Now Biden is publicly pressuring Garland to prosecute Trump, and the same people are swooning: — PolitiTweet.org

@BenAdamsO_O @nhannahjones @Casestudy261 @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz That was the day that she announced that I'm not a real or legitimate journalist -- the very argument being used at the time by the Bolsonaro government to criminally prosecute and, before that, the USG to criminalize my work.

@nhannahjones @Casestudy261 @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz Nobody thinks "harassment, threats of violence and sexist insults" are acceptable. I assume you don't think what is below and directed at me is acceptable. But I never went on TV and claimed that the people responsible for this are those who criticized my journalism: https://t.co/r2O93BCfCw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nhannahjones @branmjohn @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz I understand as well as anyone how hard swarming online abuse can be. Contrary to what many believe, it's not confined to one faction. But I understand it comes with the territory of having an influential platform and I don't try to use those attacks to blame my critics for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nhannahjones @branmjohn @LevineJonathan @TaylorLorenz My point, Nikole, is that most journalists that do controversial work get hideous abuse. Those of us in marginalized groups have it often catered to that. Some of us get far worse than that (imprisonment or threats of it). What's wrong is to weaponize that to blame your critics. — PolitiTweet.org

@KayJay3030 @notbetterthan1 I grew up raised by a single mother, who supported us by working as a McDonald's cashier.

@wsolol You're literally triggering and encouraging violent attacks on me. People like you are why this happens. You and your deranged hatred did this: https://t.co/lk1lJbTcsL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Part of this is obviously a psychological ritual for deeply unwell people. Mean tweets are the worst thing these privileged people endure, so they want to elevate it to a national crisis. But it's far more sinister: it's about banning critique of elites: https://t.co/PfmvkRCNX8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All of this is designed to fortify a warped and inverted matrix of power and morality. Somehow, the bullies have converted themselves into the bullied. Your deepest concern and compassion must be directed to the richest, most powerful and most privileged members of society. https://t.co/WqViliI54C — PolitiTweet.org

From the "Bernie Bro" narrative to the demonization of anti-establishment movements from Corbyn to Trump, the message is clear: Corporate journalists are free to use their huge platforms to malign, expose and destroy anyone. Your duty: sit in respectful silence and never object. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MazMHussain They crying had a purpose, which they made explicit: to blame her critics for the trauma she suffers. It was designed to demonize critics of corporate journalists for spawning hatred (though they're free to criticize anyone, as they did in the segment): https://t.co/L2jjSd7NYb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@cliff0551 @MazMHussain Um, you're, like, literally stoking hatred against me with tweets like this, resulting in deeply traumatizing bigotry and threats I get when people like you do this. https://t.co/3rFrs92v31 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MazMHussain The whole point of the segment, Maz, was to claim that people who criticized her journalism (such as falsely accusing Marc Andreesen twice in six weeks of using bad words or being in bad rooms) are at fault for her trauma. Did you watch the segment? That was its point. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pennywinkie @MazMHussain The entire segment is a way of delegitimizing critiques of corporate journalists. They're free to use their massive corporate megaphones to malign and attack anyone they want. But nobody is allowed to criticize them because it makes Taylor Lorenz and their colleagues upset. — PolitiTweet.org
