@kept_simple @JabidiohB How can you justify to yourself knowing that you repeatedly affirmed an accusation that I know you now know is false? It doesn't matter how much you hate me - it has no effect on my work, career, life, etc. - it's just about you. Doesn't it bother you to know you do this? — PolitiTweet.org

For those blessed not to have heard this story and are asking, a mega-woke lesbian novelist was nominated for a prestigious Lambda Award prize, but it was rescinded after she was accused of transphobia for the lightest debate with trans people on Twitter: https://t.co/v3Ajo5HWJW — PolitiTweet.org

47 out of 58 Senate Dems (including Biden) voted NO on confirming Clarence Thomas as the 2nd black SCOTUS justice in history. Then (joined by Biden) they spent years using the Jim Crow filibuster to block Janice Rogers Brown to DC Appellate Court. Ideology might be a factor? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The funniest part about this story, other than it happed right after hordes of liberals like @adamdavidson claimed in reply to the NYT Editorial that this never happens, is the "transphobia" of the mega-woke lesbian whose honor was rescinded is "debating trans people on Twitter." — PolitiTweet.org

@jonst0kes Just to clarify: being a "contributing editor" means (as is typical) very little in terms of one's role. It just means one might occasionally contribute articles, or not, if one has something to say there. It's just more a general expression of support for a new publication. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations once again to all the people, led by employees of media corporations, who decided the lower castes couldn't be trusted with what was supposed to be a free internet, and so used their platforms to pressure Big Tech monopolies into instituting a censorship regime: — PolitiTweet.org

@JDC5000 @kept_simple @JabidiohB I don't think people should be able to blatantly lie about writers and journalists -- by attributing to them the exact opposite view they espoused -- without an answer and having the proof rubbed in their face. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@realworldrj LOL. I don't think I've talked about Slate more than 3 times in the past 5 years - if that - until I responded today to some snide Slate writer acting as if the place where he works is such a monument to journalistic excellence that he can mock new publications. Total obsession. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@realworldrj Isaac is a friend of mine. I've been interviewed by him 3 times and think they were all great and fair interviews. I respect what he does. You'll have to find a different psychological explanation for why someone may not regard Slate as the height of journalistic importance. — PolitiTweet.org

@KaiDaigoji @JHWeissmann @zackbeauchamp Tucker used his show to defend our reporting and our free press rights against threats from Bolsonaro that I would be imprisoned for it. That made a big impact there, where the right watches Fox, so apparently he thought it was consistent with his show. https://t.co/FJQqtI8DGh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KaiDaigoji @JHWeissmann @zackbeauchamp It was talking about the investigative exposés in Brazil that, among other things, freed Lula from prison so that he could run for President this year, and the attempt by the Brazilian government to prosecute me for it. That was in 2020. Granted, it's not Slate-level, but still. — PolitiTweet.org

@KaiDaigoji @JHWeissmann @zackbeauchamp That article was from 9 months ago. — PolitiTweet.org

@countdown2march @JHWeissmann @zackbeauchamp I laughed at being able to sarcastically speak of Slate as a venue for journalistic importance. I think that was the last time I laughed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KaiDaigoji @JHWeissmann @zackbeauchamp Granted, these aren't Slate-worthy, but does this count? https://t.co/EYqIe8LqNP — PolitiTweet.org

@etosallday It's appropriate that your investigation into my patriotism and whether I'm a Real American ends with your demanding that I heap praise on the US and condemn its adversaries on command. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JHWeissmann @zackbeauchamp It'll probably never rise to the towering heights of the journalistic giants at Slate, world renowned for their pioneering, historic investigative exposés, but that's an unfair bar to set for anyone to try to meet. Hopefully, it can still offer something positive despite that. — PolitiTweet.org

Or, when they can't fully suppress such information and it begins to seep out, they summon liberal "fact-checkers" to label any facts reflecting poorly on Democrats as "disinformation" (and, when particularly threatening to Dems, it becomes "Russian disinformation"). — PolitiTweet.org

@etosallday First, I'm not the one with a foreign flag in my Twitter bio: that's you. Second, telling you I'm a full US citizen who pays taxes to the USG and is in the US constantly is telling you of course I'm American and always will be. Third, I'm assimilated in Brazil: as an American. — PolitiTweet.org

@etosallday Since you seem quite dumb, I'll educate you: 9 million Americans live abroad. We're 100% US citizens, same as you. We pay taxes to the US Govt and have all rights, including vote and criticize our government. I'm in the US constantly, founded a US media outlet, and report there. — PolitiTweet.org

@etosallday What meaning do you derive from this fact? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is just staggering that the liberal wing of the US corporate media has spent years smearing as "Nazis" all Americans who wear MAGA hats, oppose vaccine mandates, protest school curricula, etc. Then they find actual, literal, real-life Nazis in Ukraine, and celebrate them: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This was a by-product of the class homogeneity in national media. Those with resources could afford to rent houses in the mountains, pay for private tutoring for their kids, etc. It fell most harshly on those not heard in media discourse. And to clarify: https://t.co/cQHpAKRSf7 — PolitiTweet.org

@coredump27 I'm not arguing about what the best policy was, only that a rational policy debate would have attempted to quantify not just the costs of COVID but also the costs of policies enacted in the name of fighting COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Back in April, 2020 - when the assumption was lockdowns would last a few months ("flatten the curve") - I interviewed two mental health experts, Andrew Solomon & @johannhari101. Their warnings of the dangers of isolation proved prescient, if understated: https://t.co/YA3gZVGeE9 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There was a taboo from the start of the pandemic on weighing the costs of lockdowns and enforced isolation: mostly on mental health and the development of children, to fall most on those without resources. Now we're seeing how grave -- often fatal -- those impacts have been: — PolitiTweet.org
