@pacoromane @mattlieb About leftists using my husband's life-threatening illness that he's been fighting in an ICU bed for close to 3 months? Yep, pretty mad about it. Not surprised though. I know that's what people like you are. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CurmudgeonPod @mattlieb Correct. I like when the left shows its actual face. Censoring people like this would prevent that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LongStache @mattlieb I know. The reason he decided to mock my husband's life-threatening illness that he's been fighting in an ICU bed for almost 3 months is because he - like you - are just such noble, impassioned leftists seeking justice and humanitarianism that even using that is understandable.✊ — PolitiTweet.org

@oadegbolamdphd @GOPLeader Yes, I seriously doubt it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's inherently bizarre that the movement to agitate for more and more internet censorship in the name of "disinformation" is led by "journalists." That they work in a profession dominated by the worst liars -- where lying is *rewarded* -- makes it all the more amazing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

During the Iraq War debate, there were 3-5 journalists who stood out for most brazenly ratifying outright lies. Almost all *thrived.* Arguably the worst was @JeffreyGoldberg, who went on to become Editor-in-Chief of the Atlantic. What does one expect such a magazine to produce? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If GOP wins House and Kevin McCarthy starts copying Pelosi's unprecedented tactics - banishing various House Dems from all Committees, rejecting Pelosi's choices for Committees - there will be endless articles in the Atlantic and New Yorker on this "fascist" attacks on norms. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Dad2022Patriot @mattlieb That my "husband is dying" and I'm thus lurking in playgrounds and high schools for a boy to replace him has become a common theme of attack on the online left. No looking needed. They love it. It produces all kinds of clout. That I'm pedophile is their most common attack. https://t.co/sWs4QtWAxd — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MundaSquire @mattlieb No, I frequently make and explain the distinction between liberals and leftists but lately this stuff has come mostly from the latter. Zealots convince themselves they're so enlightened that nothing they do can ever be actually bad. It's either noble or funny for the right cause. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Sometimes the complete sociopathic sickness of various luminaries of the online left amazes even me. This cretin, @mattlieb, worked for Al Jazeera, and I have zero doubt that this sort of really demented stuff (👇) won't provoke even the smallest objection from his leftist fans. https://t.co/TmouQZYcLx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@delance2 Without doubt. The phrase "freedom of speech" is now treated as a right-wing or even fascist value by certain sectors of the Brazilian left if one explicitly defends it. I can show that first-hand. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Last month, NYT profiled the same judge, asking if he seized powers typically regarded as authoritarian in the name of "saving democracy." This is the same debate happening throughout the West: whether censorship and other authoritarian powers are noble: https://t.co/WLdbdkgkj4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The NYT profiles what is probably the most powerful judge on the planet: Alexandre de Moraes of Brazil's Supreme Court. He's imprisoned a Congressman, forced bloggers into exile, closed entire apps, and now is the sole power to remove "fake news" online: https://t.co/4JGqeox9DC — PolitiTweet.org

@dancow @eriz35 Right, you just sit and giggle with people who mock his illness until the light is shone on you, when - since you write under your work name - you remember to put your decency mask on. Thanks for the nice wishes for his recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RobertLusetich @Cirincione I'm not suggesting an equivalency. I'm suggesting that the only rational step when patriots like you discover a network of disloyal Americans whose real allegiance is to Moscow is to have some competent body conduct an investigation into their unAmerican activities. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dancow @eriz35 Do you also have good jokes to make about my "dying husband" and how I'm a pedophile, Dan? Unlike him (for now), you have your name attached to them so you should speak up and it'd be easier to dole out some accountability. https://t.co/HDy60qdx4I — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RobertLusetich @Cirincione That's why I'm suggesting a sequel to the HUAC. There are, as he (and you) warn, many people with questionable loyalties and it's important that we root out anyone with possible sympathies for Moscow or the Kremlin from all key American institutions to ensure full patriotism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There is, warns @Cirincione, a network of disloyal Americans infiltrating numerous centers of power, whose real allegiance is to Russia! Sounds like this needs a House investigation. I'd suggest calling it the UnAmerican Activities Committee, led by Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@eriz35 @smconsult5 You'll be finding out shortly how I feel about your mockery of my "dying husband." It's one of the my top 7 or 8 priorities to make sure of that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@smconsult5 @eriz35 That guy is a scumbag liar who was last seen giggling about my "dying husband" and implying I'm a pedophile while his leftist friends laughed. They love LGBTs and humanitarianism when they can market them; otherwise, they're soulless sociopaths. I so wish I knew where he lived. https://t.co/q8MhWacICe — PolitiTweet.org

@Jafpro_16 She was never "useful" to me except to the extent her whistleblowing was useful to all citizens and all journalists. She was never my source for anything. She never gave my anything. All the giving was done in the other direction. But I still regard her whistleblowing as heroic. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yes, this would be a favor for Musk in that it's his only way out of a deal in which everyone knows - including he - that he's drastically overpaying for Twitter. But the US Security State has made clear they regard Big Tech censorship as a key priority: https://t.co/Man3HGg9GF — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In a gigantic coincidence, the totally non-politicized Biden DOJ announced -- just after @ElonMusk advocated a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine and is on the verge of ending CIA-directed censorship on Twitter -- that it is investigating his deals on national security grounds. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@yeeeeeaaahhhhh @ryangrim LOL. The US Government under Trump just invaded major newsrooms and arrested the top editors and executives of the NYT, the WPost and the WSJ! This is a huge 1st Am attack! YOU: No, it isn't. It's no big deal. They're not journalists, just publishers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Grimphilo Exactly. And they're right. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jafpro_16 Few people did more to publicly advocate for Chelsea Manning than I. Few people did more to help her when she was thrown away into a prison than I. And despite my disgust at her current-day normie support for neoliberal Democrats, I still regard her whistleblowing as heroic. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@felms1917 Vc está mentindo. Falei muitas vezes sobre isso. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But this appeal to self-interest - you should be protesting US's abuse of Assange because it will be the blueprint to criminalize all investigative journalism - only works if one does investigative journalism. Hence the indifference/support of most US media figures for this. https://t.co/wzjTe0pCXm — PolitiTweet.org
