@SaysSimonson As usual, the demand for more discipline and punishment of this worker came from WPost's union members, not from management. So often, newspaper and media unions demand more power for HR and more power for corporate bosses to punish their colleagues more severely. It's bizarre. — PolitiTweet.org

@esaagar People have no idea how completely deranged and sociopathic the people in these institutions are who have become empowered. They're basically just extensions of the most unhinged college mentality where every one of their whims and discomforts must be constantly assuaged. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz just got caught repeatedly lying in her article such that WP had to revise it 3 times as an "Editor's Note," and it still contains a lie: nothing happened. Dave Weigel immediately apologized for RT'ing a joke and is suspended without pay: https://t.co/fmtFNy78XN — PolitiTweet.org

@broom_error @KrillTusk Anyone who consumes meat from the industrialized meat industry supports it equally. Both Dem and GOP Presidents put industry whores in charge of the USDA. There's no meaningful movement in either party to curb Big Ag. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@broom_error @KrillTusk It's usually left-liberals, not conservatives, who insist that the climate crisis is the greatest existential threat humanity faces. I understand why those who deny this claim support the industrialized meat industry. I don't understand why those who believe this do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@batrickprogan Are you trying to claim Steve Kornacki is a fan of MTG by virtue of his reporting the results in her widely covered primary race? That seems dumb and unfair to him given that it was a just a neutral announcement of the electoral outcome. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tomselliott @JoelSalatin For sure. The USDA almost always, under both parties, has industry lobbyists or industry representatives at the top of the department, and everything is done to promote big industrial agriculture at the expense of everything and everyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KrillTusk @broom_error That's an overgeneralization. Much of the support for the reporting I do on the abuses of industrial agriculture comes from the right: in part because they see it as a perversion of family farming, in part because of the ethics of animal abuse. Many left-liberals are meat eaters. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@blumpfhaterbull @MikeStillAwake It depends who you mean. Bernie and AOC -- both self-identified socialists and, in the case of the latter, a DSA member -- of course vocally and vehemently urge support for the Dem Party. But I'm aware that many do not. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tomselliott @JoelSalatin Right, I mean of course I'd prefer family farms to industrial agriculture. The problem is the Smithfields and the JBSs of the world are rapidly destroying family farms or putting them into captivity to them - same with other industries - through lobbyist control and the like. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeStillAwake Fair enough: in general the indicators you use signify reluctant albeit reliable support for Dems, but I acknowledge that characterization in your case appears erroneous. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AGHamilton29 That episode with Breanna Muir was from February. The reporter profusely apologized right away. Now that they're all venting all their various grievances in public, it will be impossible for editors to stop the meltdowns. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeStillAwake That soft DNC leftists like you think it somehow reflects poorly on me that I need security in light of the threats of violence due to my reporting is nothing short of bizarre. Either way, security doesn't cause climate harms; beef consumption does. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tomselliott Yeah -- but aside from the ethical issues involving animal abuse, which (as you acknowledge) are grave, industrial agriculture requires mass deforestation, i.e., the destruction of trees, especially in the Amazon but also elsewhere: https://t.co/oJElYOVjPW — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeStillAwake "Let me keep eating beef in peace and supporting the industry that causes the greatest damage to the climate while I sanctimoniously lecture everyone on how the climate crisis is an existential threat, all without anyone pointing out my refusal to act in the name of my beliefs." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KrillTusk @broom_error Me, too. I was asking the person mocking the idea that this should be discussed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

WPost's media critic, @ErikWemple, criticized the paper for publishing the op-ed by ACLU, under Amber Heard's name. He asked the Post for comment since a jury found it defamatory. Their answer: "We do not take stands on the opinions shared in our op-eds" https://t.co/ffo7jmLyFt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@broom_error Do you support and consume the industrial animal agricultural industry? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeStillAwake That's a moronic comparison from someone who refuses to sacrifice in any way for their alleged beliefs. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Stuffer80 I regard support for industrial animal agriculture as one of the greatest moral evils. Boredom isn't required for me to speak on this topic. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All studies now show consumption of beef and support for industrial animal agriculture in general is a leading cause of climate change, if not the greatest cause. While individual action alone won't solve it, it's a rather good test for the authenticity of one's claimed beliefs. https://t.co/hdtk2676Vs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Is there an inconsistency between (a) left-liberals insisting that the climate crisis is the greatest and most existential threat to humanity, and (b) their refusal to stop consuming beef, the one behavioral change they could make in their lives that actually requires sacrifice? — PolitiTweet.org

@LaurelLeader74 @alannicholls4 @AmandiOnAir Both Tucker and Laura have repeatedly said how wrong they were in those debates, in clips I've repeatedly posted. Liz Cheney, by contrast, vocally advocates for defends those policies until this very day. That's a rather fundamental difference. — PolitiTweet.org
