@CMcgoobs @CarlBeijer And yet I somehow oversee a homeless-run animal shelter, adopted 2 parentless kids and raise a third, just finished my sixth book about the work to free Lula, produce weekly articles and video reports, work with animal rights groups, etc - so I must be spending some time offline. — PolitiTweet.org

@CarlBeijer Go caress one of your radical left Twitter emojis as you shove the next Smithfield Foods pig or cow -- prepared on deforested land, by abused laborers, after years of torture -- down your gluttonous throat. — PolitiTweet.org

@j0yfult0rt0ise I'd be happy to compare what we do in our lives for actual humans in need any time you want to crawl out from behind your anonymity to do so. Our animal shelter, for instance, employees only homeless people and works to help them permanently exit homelessness. Tweet away. — PolitiTweet.org

The way MSNBC liberals have pivoted so seamlessly from accusing Trump of having personally murdered every COVID victim to insisting that President Biden is powerless to do anything about COVID is, on some warped level, almost impressive in its audacity. — PolitiTweet.org

If your only sense of purpose, self-esteem and political identity comes from how you posture online, then you will of course want to create a framework in which one's character and values are determined by everything *except* what you do with your life. That's online leftism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Almost no left-wing cause can be achieved without combatting factory farms: labor abuses, climate crisis, environmental racism, public health. But it's the one cause that requires online leftists to personally sacrifice rather than just posture, so they mock it as "liking dogs." — PolitiTweet.org

This is why it so appalling that much of the media has stigmatized questioning of whether the FBI did similar things with the 1/6 riot, especially given the *confirmation* that FBI had informants on the ground. Congress' 1/6 Committee has amazingly displayed no interest in this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This BuzzFeed reporter (with @jvgarrison) has been doing a spectacular job of covering the FBI's central role in the "plot" to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, showing how those acting at the behest of the FBI engineered so much of it -- just as they did throughout the first War on Terror. — PolitiTweet.org

@aimeeterese And Nancy Pelosi, as ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, was briefed on both the torture and rendition program as well as illegal NSA spying and gave her approval to both. — PolitiTweet.org

The importance of having House Democrats literally wait in line for the honor of shaking Dick Cheney's hand and heap praise on him isn't so much that it rehabilitates Cheney. What makes it important is what it says about the current-day Democratic Party and what and who they are. — PolitiTweet.org

Apatow, without comment, has now deleted his pro-censorship tweet. Here it is, along with a representative approving reply from blue-check liberals: https://t.co/hXdIWRKv9J — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@charlescwcooke It's scary how many liberals -- in response to press freedom groups protesting Assange's prosecution -- say: it doesn't matter since Assange isn't a "real journalist." They think the 1A isn't available to everyone but only to a special class licensed by the state as "journalists" — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@charlescwcooke The point they're making is that it's OK to censor Fox is because Fox itself, in that case, admits that it lies and that it's not reliable news. That's not remotely what Fox's lawyers argued but, either way, Maddow/MSNBC's lawyers used and won with the exact same defense first. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those preposterously claiming Apatow's pro-censorship view isn't representative of Dem Party or establishment liberalism orthodoxy, here's a 2021 Pew poll finding Dems overwhelmingly want not just Big Tech but *also the state* to censor more online: https://t.co/Gpf4u4MBvl https://t.co/MTJA8qGeW2 — PolitiTweet.org

@marcelomelatto Não estou dizendo que seja certo ou errado. Estou apenas ressaltando que Lula é um político pragmático. Muitos de seus seguidores mais fanáticos exigem pureza dos outros enquanto ele faz o que é necessário para vencer. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@InvestorJust Who was Dilma's Vice President and who was President of the Camara when she was in office? Who financed her campaign? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One last point about Apatow's censorship call: many cheering liberals in reply mention the court case Fox won by arguing cable hosts aren't newscasters. They have no idea Maddow/MSNBC won with the same argument - first! - because the media ignored it: https://t.co/hknM8rXdH1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's somewhat of a strange disconnect because some (not all) of Lula's most fanatical followers are hard-core ideologues and purists, and the Right wants to cast Lula in the same light, but the *reality* of Lula is he's a cunning pragmatist who cuts deals with anyone to win. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When I interviewed Lula in 2016, I asked about the claim that PT is similar to Chavez or Castro, and he reacted with similar anger. Lula/PT are among the most *pragmatic* political actors I've seen, yet parts of the Brazilian right *and* left cast them as hard-core ideologues. https://t.co/tEcXLLFt5t — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There are so many misconceptions in the US about what PT/Lula are. In the clip below, Dilma angrily rejects the suggestion from her leftist interviewer that PT is or should be in the model of Chavez, arguing that Chavez relied on military power rather than popular movements. — PolitiTweet.org

@TideCPA @AgnosticFox I liked it just as a bookmark to find it for later when I wanted to comment on it. I don't think there's much doubt about what I think of it based on what I just said about it. — PolitiTweet.org

@YarbroMayor @sellis_1994 I live in Brazil because at the time I met my Brazilian husband in 2005, there was a law in place called the Defense of Marriage Act that barred the US government from granting marriage-based immigration rights to same-sex couples. It was signed into law in 1996 by Bill Clinton. — PolitiTweet.org
