For the weekly @GetCallin podcast I co-host with @qaomene (today at 4:30 pm ET), we'll discuss ongoing events in Ukraine, the bio lab controversy, the growing censorship regime in the West, and welcome @mtracey from Poland. Join us live: iPhone or Android https://t.co/Y9UIEVJ06G — PolitiTweet.org

During election season, @mtracey travels around interviewing candidates and voters. During the 2020 protests, he drove spent months in affected communities. Now he's reporting from Poland. Always interesting when people, from their couch, yell that he's not a "real reporter" — PolitiTweet.org

Note: "An official in the Israeli Prime Minster's Office denies the claim." Also: Israel has been trying to play a mediator role. But the Ukrainians have complained bitterly they're not helping more. https://t.co/o9e9hdbcAc — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

"Ukrainian official: Israeli PM Bennett told President Zelensky he should take Putin's proposal to end war" Israel has been in an odd position because they don't want to alienate Russia, but also wants to show they're on US side. Zelensky is complaining. https://t.co/DWfDubncDP — PolitiTweet.org

@pedrosaboya Eu sei muito bem qual é a restrição e por que ela foi acionada. Foi implementado em resposta a reclamações de que o WhatsApp estava permitindo a disseminação em massa de notícias falsas por parte de Bolsonaro. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

FOLHA: "WhatsApp suspende contas do PT e restringe grupos de comunicação de Lula" Esse é um dos muitos problemas dos regimes de censura do Big Tech: se os aplaude porque silenciam seus adversários, um dia eles serão usados para silenciar seus aliados. https://t.co/wKLDLdC8Rr — PolitiTweet.org

@jpublik The idea that you should only speak to people or speak on platforms where you're in total agreement with everything they do and say is too stupid to be even adequately mocked. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@seattlehandicap @WCrowdsLive Whataboutism" is a cliché that jingoistic idiots have been trained to utter as a way to shield their own actions and those of their own government from scrutiny to see if their "principles" are genuine or just bullshit. https://t.co/DnYtgEEJ8R — PolitiTweet.org

@my_friggin_gosh @jpublik I just criticized For today - at least twice. Maybe you should check before making claims about what I do and don't say. https://t.co/LuEJ3RQjFE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jpublik I went on CNN for years while I criticized them and would go on CNN tomorrow if they didn't have a policy of banning dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jpublik What you're doing is called "Whataboutism": a Russian/Soviet technique designed to deflect attention away from criticisms of your side by raising criticisms of the other side (e.g., CNN did this corrupt thing - you: "But what about Fox?"). Hope the rubles are worth it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I personally am uninterested in the consensual relationship between two adults - at CNN or wherever - but the emails showing how Zucker and top deputies explicitly manipulated the news and interviews by top hosts to help Cuomo shows the depths of journalistic corruption at CNN: — PolitiTweet.org

@seeaboutthat @RoKhanna Did he delete that? I just saw it the other day. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Read the banned tweet here to see how closed and suffocating the propaganda system is that has been created in the West. Very little -- soon to be: none -- messaging or content that conflicts with the NATO/US narrative is permitted: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JBenischeck @Samsohn @POsborneWVU03 That's not how journalism works. When the US Government makes a claim and other governments make a conflicting claim, it's journalistically corrupt for the NYT to state that the USG is telling the truth and the other governments are lying unless they have proof. Here, they don't. https://t.co/9eIsuxjF2J — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MilesMolasses @Conn18149866 Seems pretty irresponsible of you to allow a paid Kremlin agent stay on the loose, especially at this critical juncture. The FBI has far more potent investigative weapons than you. You should notify them of your suspicions so they can get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JBenischeck @Samsohn @POsborneWVU03 Because there is no rationale why she's be so concerned about these materials "falling into Russian hands" if they were just nice, benign labs, since the Russians, more advanced with scientists, would already have them. What gives the NYT reason to state these claims are "false"? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Samsohn @JBenischeck @POsborneWVU03 I don't believe that anyone who views Victoria Nuland and her role in Ukraine as benign, or who thinks her comments don't merit journalistic questioning, was ever an "admirer" of mine. Either way, I never valued "admiration" contingent on eternal endorsement of your worldview. — PolitiTweet.org

It's worth reading the rest of Mexico's reply to the European Parliament's attempt to pompously dictate what its elected President should and should not do: https://t.co/5pMyuJ0WzT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Good taste for the letter's tone and substance in these unrelenting first 5 paragraphs. Mexico under AMLO has been heterodox and fiercely independent: denouncing Twitter and FB for banning Trump as an attack on democracy, refusing to sanction Russia over Ukraine, etc. https://t.co/VD8kDztSUe — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The European Parliament passed a resolution condemning Mexico's President, AMLO, for "harsh criticisms" of journalists. Mexico issued a scathing reply basically telling Europe to fuck off: "You should know, European Parliament, that Mexico is no longer anybody’s colony." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JBenischeck @POsborneWVU03 You think I said that Ukraine has bio weapons labs because you're too stupid and lazy to watch a video report prior to denouncing it. — PolitiTweet.org

Empowering Mark Zuckerberg and Google executives to decree when it is and isn't permissible to advocate violence against people, and against which people/peoples it is and isn't permissible to advocate violence, is something everyone has an interest in avoiding: — PolitiTweet.org

@fogbug How could I have "helped sell" the Iraq WMD story when I didn't begin writing or speaking about politics until late 2005 -- 2 1/2 years after the invasion based on the WMD falsehood? To whom did I "sell" it, and how? — PolitiTweet.org
