@libsoftiktok If any rich, Harvard-educated employee of a large media corporation received a fraction of the amount and type of death threats you get every day, the 3 major TV networks would join to devote a full prime-time special to denouncing it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RodWebber His only sin when it came to maintaining the US/Saudi partnership. Your brain is too desperate for instant applause and social media likes, and too slow and primitive to read an actual article, so you're incapable of understanding the context for any statement. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is what it's like to be a woman on the internet who got doxed by a newspaper owned by the world's richest man: actual death threats and encouragement of suicide.👇 Since liberal outlets only care when this happens to rich, famous national journalists, they'll ignore this: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@zfurnas You're just a banal Democrat, fans of people like Jennifer Rubin and Tim Miller -- some of the dullest Bush-era neocons -- and we thus have absolutely nothing in common politically and never did. No mystery about it. https://t.co/K4RdisTWFq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@zfurnas I used to worship Liz Cheney, state censorship, neocons, the FBI and the CIA -- but then I had a change of heart and came to believe that all of these things are bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JasonPates That people like you now approvingly cite Bill Kristol's various neocon rags impugning people's patriotism is exactly the point. From 2000 until 2016, Bill Kristol was viewed as the Supreme Neocon Evil. Now he's the thought leader of American liberalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As I wrote yesterday, the close US/Saudi partnership shows that the US does not care -- at all -- if other countries are democratic or despotic. It only cares that other countries' regimes serve US interests. Trump's only sin was he was honest about this. https://t.co/UDCOhIn41O — PolitiTweet.org

The same liberals who drool with reverence for Liz Cheney, whose favorite pundits are Frum and Kristol, who cheer the union of state and corporate power to censor the internet, who want unlimited billions sent to a war zone against Russia -- keep asking me: #WhatHappenedToYou? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

LOL, Holy Shit. Nothing is more lost and craven than the fake US "left." Just read this shit: https://t.co/K9E3Ndikbb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For the next person who insists that, despite all evidence to the contrary, the liberal-left isn't venerating and creating a cult of adoration around the torture-supporting, warmongering, civil-liberties-hating Liz Cheney: aka Mother Jones' Hero of 2021. https://t.co/Gg2NLIBVCq https://t.co/aW5fr0udyC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Think about what scummy liars these Democrats are. They write books boasting about how they bullied Cuba not to let Snowden pass through, thus trapping him in Russia. Then they use his presence in Russia to imply he's a spy: when they *know* he's there because they forced that. https://t.co/dhCITbr4df — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

UAE Neera uses Snowden's presence in Russia to imply he's a Russian spy. The problem: Obama officials, such as Ben Rhodes, have boasted in their books that Snowden desperately tried to leave Russia but they purposely trapped him there. Read what Ben said: https://t.co/0SHIT7q2Fz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

WH official @neeratanden -- who for years took millions from UAE for her think tank -- insinuates @Snowden is a Kremlin agent. What's repulsive about this isn't the accusation: Dems accuse people of being Russian agents more casually than McCarthy did. The issue is the lie: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The easiest, surest way to rise in US corporate media is to be an unvarnished cheerleader for US wars. Jeffrey Goldberg was the leading Iraq War liar at @NewYorker in 2002. Rather than being run out of the profession, they made him Editor of the Atlantic. https://t.co/sCFFN62mkD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Punishing *political dissent* by excluding people from the financial system is now a common tactic of Western power centers. Trudeau radically escalated this with due-process-free bank account freezes for those "associated" with a protest he disliked. But it's way beyond that. https://t.co/nRAVMJ3Swa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The war in Ukraine has elevated the West's online censorship regime to all new levels of extremism. Anyone who deviates or dissents from the US/NATO consensus isn't just being banned by Big Tech but also excluded from the financial services network: banned by Paypal, Venmo, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

😂 I will believe, in an attempt to maintain some residual faith in humanity, that the state officials forced to write blatant absurdities like this -- still calling Juan Guaido the "interim President" of Venezuela -- have to suppress laughter and embarrassment as they do it. — PolitiTweet.org

@jrcrawley Adam can meet up and fly with one of his heroes: the Ghost of Kyiv. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I volunteer Max Boot for the job. Imagine how bizarre the universe would be if Max Boot -- who has built his tawdry career vocally cheering every single US war: actual and imagined -- finally got near one of those wars he obsessively wants to send other Americans to fight in: — PolitiTweet.org

RT @tomphillipsin: Hundreds of indigenous citizens marching through Atalaia do Norte now to demand justice for Bruno and Dom https://t.co/6… — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's some conflicting reports now about whether there's confirmation of their bodies being found. Dom's wife said police informed her they were. Indigenous activists say it's not confirmed. I hope there's still hope, but the news is clearly grim: https://t.co/wk4zDejHzt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There will be indignation and demands for justice, but it's hard to be hopeful. If someone had told me in 2018 that Marielle Franco's assassination would remain largely unsolved 4 years later, I wouldn't have believed it. And yet. Read about Dom here: https://t.co/0mmc5Iq19A — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Dom was one of those journalists who began working in Brazil, fell in love with the country, married a Brazilian woman, then devoted himself to dangerous, intrepid reporting on illegal exploitation of the Amazon: a stark reminder of the value and danger of real journalism. #RIP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Incredibly sad - and infuriating - news. The bodies of the British journalist @domphillips, and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, have reportedly been found. They were reporting in a remote Amazon region on illegal invasions by mining/logging interests. https://t.co/PUpgkTCUkQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MattBruenig @OsitaNwanevu To me the issue is how limited and homogenized US left-wing discourse is. Everywhere else, opposition to vaccine mandates was at least a permissible if not widespread left view. In the US, almost no prominent leftist got near it: was deemed right-wing. This happens repeatedly.👇 https://t.co/vCrkAHZNFf — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@luxepunk @Baechugo @thiccontologist @OsitaNwanevu There's a small faction of US leftists who remain principled and DNC-free. I respect those. I co-host a weekly podcast with a "pan-African Communist," Q Anthony of @RZNWAMedia, who's an example. Some DSA factions are, too. But the mainstream Bernie/AOC left are DNC soldiers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@OsitaNwanevu Because generally people on the left don't like seeing workers in low-wage jobs fired in the middle of a pandemic for failure to obey central health authorities regarding what they can do with their own bodies. Listen to Corbyn, UK unions and Mélenchon (leftists) explain it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Baechugo @thiccontologist @luxepunk @OsitaNwanevu I can't think of anything "sadder" than having your political identity be tied to and shaped by the shitty, rotted, corrupt neoliberal filth of the US Democratic Party. And yeah: it's super sad to have to speak to millions of people at will on the most-watched political TV show. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@OsitaNwanevu I don't really care what constitutes "true leftism" in some Platonic sense. I'm describing the views of the most doctrinal leftists in the democratic world - Corbyn, Mélenchon, Lula - to show how out of step the mainstream US "left" is, because it's just a branding arm of the DNC — PolitiTweet.org
