Just a stunning thing to read from someone whose corporate job title is "journalist" -- criticizing the president is illegitimate: https://t.co/kkT0ModNTD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Important reminder from the past about our collective responsibilities now (though such reminders aren't really necessary given how often and emphatically employees of media corporations such as @kasie are saying the same thing or worse): https://t.co/DVvC1a3RpO — PolitiTweet.org

@me13 @Ravarora1 O protesto no Canadá não foi contra as vacinas. Foi contra os mandatos de vacinas e uma ampla gama de outras queixas (a mesma visão que Jeremy Corbyn tem). Você acha que as pessoas deveriam ser presas por expressar essa visão? 👇 https://t.co/WMB4iiiuNH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@me13 @Ravarora1 Exatamente: quem discorda de você não tem o direito de dissidência – deveria ser preso – mas quem concorda com você tem todo o direito de protestar contra o governo. Essa é a mentalidade de um autoritário, de um fascista. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@me13 @Ravarora1 Então você acha que, durante uma pandemia, quem discordar das políticas do governo deve ser preso em nome do “bem coletivo"? Inclusive no Brasil? Ou você se dá licença para se opor às políticas governamentais, mas outros não têm permissão para isso? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whenever war emerges, there is an intense surge of nationalism in the US, people across the spectrum unify, the media speaks in almost total lockstep. So I'm sure polls will indicate approval for now, but I really wonder how much Americans are willing to "sacrifice" for Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Please remember that any criticisms of the President of the United States during this crisis is immoral, disloyal, plays into Putin's hands, and likely means that you're a Kremlin asset or useful idiot. Now is the time for caution and patriotism, not criticism or questioning. 🇺🇸 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A mega-viral thread about the profound need for morality, loyalty and truth in US foreign policy from a person who has been paid a huge sum of money for years by the UAE, one of the planet's most savage and despotic regimes: a perfect microcosm of US foreign policy discourse.🇺🇸 — PolitiTweet.org

(She apparently works for CNN now, but same thing, which is why they can move from NBC to CNN and back with such ease: point stands about how repugnant this mentality is, especially coming from employees of large media corporations with the job title "journalist"). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Criticizing the president is a form of treason and disloyalty, says DNC spokesperson masquerading as an NBC News journalist. It's always 2003. The roles are just reversed: — PolitiTweet.org

The full episode of my @GetCallin podcast last night -- where we discussed both the neoliberal war on dissent in the west as well as the latest developments in the Russia/Ukraine conflict -- can be heard here. Great questions/comments from the audience: https://t.co/dHJBynmDAf — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jpetertil You believe, like Tribe, that Fox News hosts should be rounded up and imprisoned and possibly executed for the crime of treason because they oppose Biden's policy toward Russia? Do you also support this theory by Tribe? https://t.co/JxdbwZlpWP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Floyd__Lawson In 2018, a Russian regional jet took off and crashed, killing all 71 people aboard. Tribe immediately suggested Putin caused the plane to crash because there was a passenger with knowledge of Russiagate. He wasn't on the plane. https://t.co/JxdbwZlpWP — PolitiTweet.org

@ShantMM The "liberal blogosphere" was born in part out of rage -- valid rage -- at watching everyone against the invasion of Iraq being accused of harboring disloyal pro-Saddam sympathies. Watch how half of them spend all day accusing everyone of harboring disloyal pro-Putin sympathies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@YakimaAbogado That you ignored Hillary Clinton -- ever heard of her? -- shows how lame you know your denials are. The core tactic of Dem Party politics and media since 2016 is accusing everyone they dislike of being Kremlin agents. Ever heard of these people? https://t.co/uM0VNNbEdM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@YakimaAbogado Yes, this is something that only is said very occasionally by random Twitter trolls, not a leading tactic of Democratic Party politics and media at the highest and most mainstream levels. https://t.co/kR9wcg6BBK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's still stunning to me that this tweet was posted by someone once regarded as the US's preeminent liberal constitutional law scholar. Just look at the utter über-national and authoritarian mentality needed to say this. And, of course, it viralized before he quietly deleted it: https://t.co/vbMqfQi3aq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

An entire generation of liberals trained to casually accuse everyone they disagree with on foreign policy of being a paid Kremlin agent or of otherwise being disloyal. This is a pathology that will endure at least many years if not decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Two days later, the WPost published an article claiming the CIA had discovered that the Kremlin was working to help Bernie win -- a Russiagate conspiracy theory Bernie had endorsed -- and then he spent the SC debate explaining why he wasn't a Russian asset, then got crushed:🇷🇺 — PolitiTweet.org

So funny that MSNBC put John Bolton on and @mitchellreports was horrified to hear him say that Putin got everything he wanted because of Biden and that Biden has failed to confront Russia. Putin always wins. He always has everyone right where he wants them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And yet, the US media is so unfailingly loyal to their US security state masters that they have completely inverted reality to insist that US intel got everything right: https://t.co/RL0WEgbJea — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The US media -- at the instructions of the US Government -- kept assuring the public that CIA had such complete and total penetration of Putin's inner circle that they knew exactly what he was planning and had ordered, yet -- as this NYT reporter says -- none predicted this: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sullydish Russiagate completely transformed the Democratic Party -- not just on Russia but on pretty much everything. That was when they realigned with neocons, skyrocketed their trust in CIA/FBI, and abandoned all of Obama's foreign policy realism for insane uber-nationalistic militarism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Glennkeels66 @brockm I'm not "just asking questions." I've stated my position very clearly on all these matters. The questions are designed to understand his position and determine whether there is any principled consistency to it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LukeWatsonCMF Biden allowed the completion of Nord Stream 2 -- which Trump did everything to try to kill -- and I don't know if you heard, but Putin yesterday recognized the sovereignty and independence of two regions of Ukraine while Biden was president. https://t.co/pPLzUVBYdP — PolitiTweet.org
