@GeraldNellson @DennisCurry007 I've been an advocate of marriage equality my whole life. I've explained that there are reasons Republican politicians like Gaetz - who worked hard in Flordia to overturn anti-gay laws - might be against it besides that they're Hitler, but partisan brains can't reason that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DennisCurry007 I think the Biden DOJ doesn't want to bring Assange to the US and is looking for a way out, including having the Australian government agree to take him with restrictions. The one chance Snowden had - Trump's pardon - is gone for now, but his situation is far better. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DennisCurry007 I don't live in the US because my husband is a member of the Brazilian Congress, our children are Brazilian, and when my husband and I met, the Defense of Marriage Act signed by Bill Clinton barred same-sex couples from receiving spousal immigration rights while Brazil gave them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Polling data -- beyond showing that Dems overwhelmingly favor corporate *and state* censorship of the internet -- also show that it's Dems who, by a large margin, hold both FBI and CIA in far higher regard than Republicans. https://t.co/w4mIyDNZWN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Needless to say, it's a Democratic Congressman from California who has decided to undertake the role of most vehemently and forcefully defending the FBI, insisting they did nothing wrong, and instead relentlessly attacking the integrity of the reporter who exposes FBI's abuses: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@crappytalism I've never been a "contributor" to any news outlet, including Fox. When I appear, it's almost always to criticize the same institutions I've always criticized: the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, large media corporations, the corporatized and militarized wings of both parties, Big Tech. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LiberalFathers I'm an American, not a Brazilian. I'm a US citizen and have always been, never had citizenship in any other country. You're just a liberal jingoist who thinks the 10 million Americans who live abroad aren't real citizens. And I explicitly said Fox is a large corporation. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's virtually no discussions now in the mainstream Bernie/AOC left about the US Security State or the nefarious actions of CIA/FBI/NSA. The only real enemies they see are the Trump movement and GOP. That's why I use "left-liberal": their core worldviews have merged. — PolitiTweet.org

@heen123 @mtaibbi If I posted clips of myself with Wolf Blitzer and Joe Scarborough, could I be credible then? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@realDennisLynch @elonmusk "Lefty media" - lol. I want Elon to succeed in restoring free speech to Twitter, using the standard of "free speech absolutism" he defended when deciding to buy it. My critiques are to encourage consistent rules and universal applications in order to achieve that. — PolitiTweet.org

@kantwistaye Listen to what I said starting at 0:38 and tell my in your own words how dumb you are. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KyleYSpencer @FoxNews @bariweiss @mtaibbi @WHaaaaa I say in that very clip that Fox is a large corporate media outlet. It's not even at the end of the clip but at the beginning. How can your brain not be able to process simple declarative sentences, causing you to assert that I said the opposite of what I said? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

People's brains are so drowning in partisan muck that the Bernie/AOC left -- which still pretends to find the CIA and FBI nefarious if you force them to take a stance -- refuses to care about the grave dangers in what @mtaibbi reported about FBI's role: https://t.co/rvjK3Wk29L — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As @mirandadevine notes, the sudden spate of "free speech" flags waved by the same wannabe despots who built this regime is solely for themselves. @RepAdamSchiff continues to threaten tech companies with punishment if they don't censors how Dems want: https://t.co/WhSeOULUIY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Finally: even now, as Dems and their favorite media employees whine about censorship - a censorship regime they built and cheered - they continue to campaign for more repression, call anyone "far right" who opposes it. It just needs to be against their enemies, not against them: https://t.co/Yp8yLRnQDR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On the spate of Twitter bans: the problem with the old Twitter regime - which left-liberals and media corporations *cheered - was vague, arbitrary rules allowed ideology-based censorship. To avoid that, new Twitter needs clear rules, consistently applied, which we don't have yet: https://t.co/q5nCWBMkGC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Spoke to @HowardKurtz for Sunday's show about the Twitter Files and Twitter's latest bans. First: corporate media outlets won't cover key revelations because (like their liberal viewers) they think being a "legitimate journalist" requires working for a big media corporation: https://t.co/gGpDlfxoB2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And this exchange reflects so much about the radical changes in US politics in the Trump era: The GOP (and only it) expresses skepticism about the FBI and its abuse of power. Dems like @ericswalwell angrily insist that doing so is unpatriotic and anti-police: https://t.co/nCXFBB6qmU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

An obviously major story about major FBI abuse of power in our domestic politics that, predictably, corporate media outlets decided to ignore in part due to: a) jealously over who got this scoop; b) imprisoning themselves in the "nothingburger" narrative; c) reverence for FBI: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's no secret I love talking to the ladies. But my motive for doing this episode was to maintain my perch as the guest with the most (or second-most) appearances since Red Scare's inception. It turned into a great discussion of the Twitter Files, the US Security State and more: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Precisely. And this is the reason why free speech is the first value and the first right attacked by every authoritarian and despot in history, including today's modern-day Western tyrants: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@archtype Yeah, for all the claims about how much I changed, I sure do find myself often citing stories that I covered from 2006-2010, in part because they're so relevant now but in larger part because so many people began paying attention only in 2016 and thus don't know this history. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TomJumboGrumbo @oliverdarcy You've been begging for my attention for awhile now with this lie, but since you're reduced to tweeting from your dogs' account - 🤣 - I'll point out: the first screen shot happened 3 years after you say everyone stopped taking me seriously, the second happened 11 years later. https://t.co/g7ArDUUyaV — PolitiTweet.org

Excerpts from last night’s show on how the very same government officials and media corporations who built and cheered Big Tech’s censorship regime suddenly objected because, for once, the targets were their friends and allies rather than their enemies:👇👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@oliverdarcy What metrics support your claim that "nobody takes me seriously anymore?" You work for a corporation *very few* watch, trust or like. All metrics suggest there's vastly more interest in my work than yours: all metrics. You also haven't told me what metrics make CNN this?👇#Top https://t.co/SvuZQdupyY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@oliverdarcy At CNN, "white nationalists" means: "anyone who disagrees with the liberal-left orthodoxies of the Democratic Party" - ie serfs. Journalists have been banned by Twitter for years, yet you never objected. While I have you: what metric(s) make CNN a "top news organization"? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A major driver of corporate-journalist rage toward Musk is the loss of what they regard as their rightful entitlements as "the top journalists." They break no meaningful stories. They're CIA puppets. They just work for big corporations. And they think that makes them special.👇 https://t.co/GF2o2C9961 — PolitiTweet.org
