By the way, Brand, with an entirely independent platform, has built a gigantic audience of millions. Like Rogan (who said his favorite 2020 candidate was Bernie), there's no way to call Brand "right-wing," though it's done. As corporate media fails, *this* is what's succeeding. — PolitiTweet.org

As I often pointed out with Dick Cheney, that one does evil things doesn't mean one is stupid: https://t.co/UzULnJNDKb — PolitiTweet.org

Given Brand's immense career success, it's hard to claim his motive is "grifting." Might be something else such as -- oh, I don't know -- genuine conviction and candid analysis? Here he is on how Dems can only use maximalist fear-mongering to distract from their vapid agenda: https://t.co/bEIAbnsxCQ — PolitiTweet.org

Here's Russell Brand -- long a vocal leftist, including as a vehement supporter of @JeremyCorbyn -- describing how many of the most vital perspectives are now aired only on Fox and Tucker Carlson, while the rest of US corporate media churn out neoliberal and militaristic pablum: https://t.co/9rlbkQ9JXP — PolitiTweet.org

@scottjblair @ScottChalleen Yeah, it’s the new Mueller investigation. Liz Cheney gave a fantastic performance. Adam Schiff made the most of his supporting role: scene-stealer. Americans today are asking: what’s inflation? — PolitiTweet.org

@scottjblair @lahawkinses Little “policy differences” like torture, kidnapping, eternal imprisonment with no trial, wars of aggression, life in prison for whistleblowers, CIA coups, NSA spying - no big deal. Like arguing over the capital gains tax. — PolitiTweet.org

@scottjblair @lahawkinses Yea, I'm against those things too, totally, really, but.... #ThingsLiberalsSay — PolitiTweet.org

@ScottChalleen I prefer the Cheney family in power for eternity. — PolitiTweet.org

@lahawkinses Yes, I'm totally the one who has catapulted her to major national hero status. But you are correct: I am contemptuous of politicians who cheer torture regimes, kidnapping programs, due-process-free indefinite detention, life-long imprisonment of whistleblowers, things like that. — PolitiTweet.org

Obama, in 2016, presciently explained -- when he was being badgered by neocon @JeffreyGoldberg for not doing more to arm Ukraine -- that the US would never be able to stop Russian dominance there because Ukraine is and always will be a vital interest to Russia, never to the US. https://t.co/2B1DHw0n0r — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Decent people, whom I respect, were genuinely horrified by Ukraine. War is the most horrific thing humanity can unleash on itself. Carnage from our own wars is hidden; this was shown. But those decent emotions (along with censorship) were exploited to impose propaganda and lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Basically, the West got bored of this war after a couple months. But DC, CIA and Raytheon/General-Dynamics sure haven't tired of it. They're basically announcing: get ready to spend on this proxy war for years. Just go to brunch and ignore the streams of billions flowing to us. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LarryBartowski Don't worry - your neo-Nazi allies in Eastern Ukraine are continuing to be flooded with extremely sophisticated weaponry and cash by the West that they will enjoy for years to expand their power and spread their hateful ideology, so congrats on that, Larry. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Meanwhile, NATO's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg -- along with Boris Johnson and US officials -- are emphasizing more than ever: the West must prepare itself to support this war not for months *but years* more. Who is this benefiting - and hurting? https://t.co/Mqw80Qh0VY — PolitiTweet.org

@JeanJsapione @jonathanwatts The Amazon, and the indigenous tribes who live there, are being pillaged by illegal mining, logging and fishing industrial interests, along with the closely linked narco-trafficking gangs who use that border region for smuggling and money laundering. Lots of bad actors. — PolitiTweet.org

So sad and so infuriating: watch a clip of this moving video by the Guardian's @jonathanwatts about the brave and important work of British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, murdered in the Amazon on June 5: https://t.co/EsnEg2z3Nb — PolitiTweet.org
