@Kenghazi Then how come he's forced to be in exile and will be immediately arrested and imprisoned for life if he steps one inch outside of Russia, while you're completely free to say and do whatever you want? Who is the real dissident in this scenario? — PolitiTweet.org

"We're deeply troubled by reports that DOJ obtained secret electronic surveillance orders requiring sweeping disclosure of 'all content' of communications [related to] Project Veritas email accounts, including attorney-client communications" - @ACLU Read: https://t.co/YZq6HP45lD — PolitiTweet.org

The true test for whether a society is free is not how it treats its establishment servants who spout state messaging. Even in tyrannies, the Wolf Blitzers and Chris Hayes's thrive. The true test is how *dissidents* are treated: like Assange (imprisoned) and Snowden (in exile). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Last February, every major press freedom and civil liberties group, including @ACLU, united to condemn the Assange prosecution on the grounds it constitutes a grave danger to core press freedoms. That plea was ignored, so this "grave assault" continues: https://t.co/0BONgeL8IM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Assange isn't just any journalist who has been effectively imprisoned for a decade and actually imprisoned for 3 years, now charged with *espionage*. He's responsible for breaking more major stories than all his media critics *combined*. And that's why he's imprisoned. https://t.co/9ap0iXB63T — PolitiTweet.org

Few acts are easier, and less consequential, than denouncing the repressive acts of distant autocrats already hated by your own society. Far more difficult, and more consequential, is denouncing such repressive acts by your own government. Those are the ones you can change. — PolitiTweet.org

Julian Assange is marrying his fiancee @StellaMoris1 today in a high-security prison because the US and UK - so deeply committed to democracy and press freedoms that they'll risk war to defend them -- have imprisoned him for 3 years and are working to keep imprisoned for life: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Obrigado. Sem ser humilde, o primeiro herói de tudo isso é Walter Delgatti, que injustamente ainda enfrenta pena de prisão quando é quem *expôs corrupção*. Ele merece uma marcha nacional em sua homenagem. E grandes jornalistas brasileiros também fizeram um trabalho vital nisso. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@apagliar It was pretty faithful to the original except that the longer explanatory parts for an international audience about who is who, and various short histories of things Brazilians already know, were removed. And glad we got to use your blurb! — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@VerbumIgnis Yeah, annoying and embarrassing typo that I noticed too long after the tweet was posted to delete. 🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

The one thing you want to make sure to do as a good journalist is never anger the Pentagon. That's one thing you can't deny the Vox Video Dunce; credit where do: he would never, ever do that. — PolitiTweet.org

The misconduct of this judge and the team of prosecutors he improperly and secretly commended was the subject of the 18-month exposé we did in Brazil, that resulted in Lula's release from prison. My book about it is here: https://t.co/OqhdTzsv5I Coming this month in Portuguese: https://t.co/aK1ipXPmbC — PolitiTweet.org

@0yOlives @SF_Moro I spent two years doing investigative exposés on the behavior of the judge and prosecutors and I know exactly what they did. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(Correction: the lead prosecutor and former national hero, @deltanmd, has been ordered to pay Lula R$ 75,000, not $75,000. It was for this laughable, third-grade Power Point he made and showed to the public to "prove" Lula was the Kingpin of all organized crime). https://t.co/mC3C0KUWaU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In 2019, Lula was in prison on a 10-year sentence. His judge, @SF_Moro was the all-powerful Justice Minister. Now, Lula is free and the favorite to be win. That judge, also running, is disgraced and 30 points behind. And now this prosecutor has to pay Lula. Quite a turnaround. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Brazilian prosecutor who led the prosecution of Lula and became a national hero among some, was just ordered by a court to pay Lula $75,000 for defaming Lula by publicly accusing him of being head of an organized crime ring. Meanwhile, Lula leads all 2022 polls. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The reason the most deceitful person in media -- the Vox Video Dunce -- screen-shot that tweet above rather than linking to the tweet itself was because the thread of which it was a part was full of evidence demonstrating this, and he wanted to hide it: https://t.co/MGLcI8M8Vx — PolitiTweet.org

This is what the media's absolute dumbest, most primitive and most conventional-wisdom-spouting herd animals said about those of us who pointed out the obvious from the start: https://t.co/OeJbwUwbdV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This was completely clear from the start -- that this was the real US strategy: not to defend Ukraine but to *sacrifice it*, by turning into a Syria or Afghanistan were they bog down the Russians by arming insurgents just enough to prolong the war but never have anyone win it. — PolitiTweet.org

@HeBeDG1 Exactly - Trump bashed Bush and Cheney constantly throughout the GOP primary and won. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dhacker615 I knew liberals would eventually come to respect & love the Cheney family. It doesn't surprise me in the least. The only real difference ever was partisan identification. It's good that you're finally coming to terms with it. It's a reflection of who you are and always have been. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It reminds me of that time when the DC press corps -- in 2015 -- believed the thing that would finally doom Trump's candidacy was when he mocked John McCain. The DC press corps worshipped McCain and was so offended, so they assumed everyone else would be: https://t.co/ye9yOiCI4z — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Leaving aside the mountains of evidence proving George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld are -- in every sense of the word -- classic and extreme war criminals, it's amusing, and a sign of how out of touch he is, that he thinks Americans would be mad if someone speaks ill of that duo. — PolitiTweet.org

The rehabilitation of Bush/Cheney war criminals and their neocon allies - first through opposition to Trump, then 1/6 (thank you Liz Cheney!) and now Russia's invasion - have deliberately whitewashed the gravest of crimes by the new stars of liberal media & the US security state. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yes, why in the world would anyone possibly describe as "war criminals" the architects of a worldwide torture regime, CIA black sites, a multi-nation kidnapping program (renditions), and the invasion and destruction of a country of 26 million via a classic aggressive war? — PolitiTweet.org
