Publicly denouncing a life-long friend over political differences in order to satiate an angry mob of strangers is gross enough, but -- as was totally predictable -- this pitiful penitence meant the mob smelled blood in the water, and they attacked more for it not being enough. — PolitiTweet.org

How will you and your family be commemorating the most solemn day in US history: 1/6? If you haven't already finalized your plans -- and it's unfathomable anyone hasn't -- the People for the American Way is hosting a candlelight vigil with @AdamSchiff. https://t.co/u6RYgOC0Wt https://t.co/lYjFZgLiJg — PolitiTweet.org

"On social media, Babbitt identified as a Libertarian and ardent supporter of the Second Amendment. Her posts included videos of profane rants against Democrats, COVID-19 mask mandates and illegal immigration." Oh, in that case: glad the police killed her. Got what she deserved. https://t.co/qnQg6aetbV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberals get enraged when news outlets dig up dirt on the past of unarmed victims of police shootings in order to show they were "no angels": i.e. to justify the shooting. Apparently it's OK sometimes: here's HuffPost on how Ashli Babbitt was no angel: https://t.co/S88SyDthiw — PolitiTweet.org

Media corporations are powerful actors and need accountability like any other powerful entities. Debunking the propaganda and disinformation they spread is a vital form of Real Reporting. But their employees try to minimize that as mere "media criticism" to discredit it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What "Real Reporting" actually means in the parlance of corporate media -- and they've trained a lot of news consumers to believe this, too -- is this: call up people inside the CIA, FBI and the Pentagon, promise them anonymity, and then write down what they tell you to say. — PolitiTweet.org

@Jamie_Maz The fact that something isn't a big deal for you doesn't mean it's not for a 12-year-old. I don't know if you have kids but for my own vaccinated kids: I'm more concerned about the enduring effects of school closures and 8-hour-mask-wearing than I am about them getting COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jamie_Maz Do you think there are meaningful costs and harms from kids having to wear surgical masks over their faces 8 hours a day for months or years? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jamie_Maz How weird that there is a mass mental health crisis among kids from loss of school, activities, purpose and connection if there was no serious disruption to their lives. https://t.co/4I9FUc4wlH — PolitiTweet.org

@drs10909 @GlennLoury He's an influential voice on race, culture, social movements and many other things Vox and Ian purport to cover. He's not Brad Pitt -- he doesn't have mass cultural fame -- but anyone who claims to "explain" these debates should know him. Ian doesn't because Loury's not liberal. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How is it possible that we made it through four years of the Trump presidency without Trump ordering the arrest and imprisonment of Vox's Ian Millhiser? How and why did Trump allow this grave threat of a dissident to remain on the loose?? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This was one of the saddest and most pathetic displays from a Trump-era liberal -- also courtesy of The Vox Explainer (he worked for @NeeraTanden at the time at CAP) -- but the Drama Queen Week we're in store for this week will make this look like sober and grounded reflection. https://t.co/tZzmDQ7ZQ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

*Media* liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jamie_Maz That's probably because people are looking at the probability of getting seriously ill or dying from Omicron if you're vaccinated and deciding it's not worth freezing life for another year or two, much like people take the higher risk of death by car crash in order to live life. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

LOL. Vox Explainer Ian Millhiser -- who explains the world to us and helps us understand what is True and False -- doesn't know who @GlennLoury is. Middle liberals are completely ensconced in a dissent-free bubble. They built it that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jamie_Maz Rich families can afford private tutoring for their kids. They can rent homes in the country. Poor and working-class families have nowhere to put their kids, who sit at home with nothing to do. Many poorer countries don't have "remote learning." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jamie_Maz There's obviously a debate about whether society has erred on the side of excessive life-stoppage -- especially in a post-vaccine world -- and whether the costs of those restrictions (especially for kids) outweighs the costs of COVID. Maximalist COVID safety isn't the only way. — PolitiTweet.org

This Bloomberg article says the extradition of a Russian national to the US may enable the US to finally obtain "for the first time detailed documentary evidence of the alleged Russian efforts to influence the election."

Two of the best books on the spiritual deprivations of Western neoliberalism have been written by @johannhari101: one on how it spawns addiction, the other on depression. He has a great new book on the destruction of attention spans. Fascinating excerpt: https://t.co/EBiwxNsxov — PolitiTweet.org
