Democrats, in between lighting votive candles in honor of Liz Cheney, David Frum and Robert Mueller, and sharing playful and adoring memes about George W. Bush, Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace: "What Happened To You???" — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alannicholls4 @AmandiOnAir I personally think it's relevant that Democrats now routinely gush over and herald as heroic someone who is a vocal supporter of torture, rendition, CIA black sites, wars of aggression, coups and invasions, though I realize that Dems no longer care about such trivial matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Amandi also claims "foreign-born and first generation born Americans" are as hysterically obsessed as he about 1/6 and the supposed fascist take over of the GOP, which is odd given this CNN op-ed entitled: "Why Latinos are turning to the Republican Party" https://t.co/qCEMr7UOW1 https://t.co/aNWFuX6nC2 — PolitiTweet.org

@JameelJaffer @ACLU @TheFIREorg They've also largely stayed away from -- except in the most tepid and sporadic ways -- the greatest free speech controversy of the last several years: ongoing threats/pressure/coercion by USG on Big Tech to censor: same with civil liberties assaults in the name of 1/6. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JameelJaffer @ACLU @TheFIREorg You're familiar with all the ACLU critiques, Jameel, which I can't comprehensively list in a tweet: Chase saying that censoring a book was a "hill he'd die on"; them cheering deprivations of due process; the post-Charleston rules adjustments; the Amber Heard fiasco, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Dom has mostly worked for the Guardian but has covered Brazil and specifically the Amazon for many outlets. He has a genuine passion for the Amazon and has used his journalism to denounce its illegal exploitation. I hope he's found safe, and soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A great journalist and nice guy who has covered Brazil for the Guardian for years, @domphillips, has disappeared in a remote area of the Amazon. He received threats from logging and mining interests who use violence to invade land of isolated tribes. https://t.co/tstWZP7rLD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This, right here, is what internet censorship is for. It's particularly why we have the surreal situation where journalists are not the leading defenders of free speech but the leading crusaders for censorship: Knowing they lost the public's trust, they need *captive* audiences: — PolitiTweet.org

@VictorKoran @Acliffe I'm sorry that you judge yourself as worthless and too unimportant to be engaged due to your low follower count. I don't judge people's worth that way and never have. I've built a large readership because I believe in engaging critics who aren't famous journalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@VictorKoran @Acliffe The article is about ground-breaking reporting I did in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NotMyLinkedIn You should ask Lula da Silva how he got out of prison, and then ask the Brazilian government why they charged me with 126 felony counts for my reporting in 2020, if I haven't been a journalist since 7 years ago. https://t.co/EYqIe8LqNP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Lula and his wife announced yesterday that they both tested positive for COVID. Lula is 76 but in excellent physical shape. He's asymptomatic and his wife has light symptoms. It's good that we're at the point when such announcements are essentially non-events: — PolitiTweet.org

@roundingerrorr Aside from the fact that many large outlets around the world reported the Snowden story and it won almost every major journalism award in the West, Snowden ended up in Russia because Obama officials trapped him there, as they boasted in their books: https://t.co/0SHIT7q2Fz — PolitiTweet.org

@thegreydunadan You're the one popping up to defend a Republican Congressman, not me. And no, there's not a single view I've advocated or endorsed over the last decade that I've renounced or abandoned. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Members of Congress accusing American journalists of being Kremlin assets was tried and played out in the 1950s. It ended pretty poorly for all those involved. Only a few months more until this one-term warmongering sad sack hysteric disappears forever into MSNBC or CNN land. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Acliffe You can start here: https://t.co/EYqIe8LqNP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PogCrab That you believe that free speech rights and defense of pro-Palestinian students' rights are right-wing values (the "con rabbit hole") shows how and why the American liberal-left has become so authoritarian and fucked. https://t.co/lVyNFNCorm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And if one woke up and decided to make themselves as irrelevant as possible, this tweet has the perfect formula. If you publicly pledge your permanent, unconditional loyalty to a Party, then obviously they're going to ignore your grievances. They should: https://t.co/g0S9ZFplze — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone even casually following Biden's career or the trajectory of the Dem Party over the last 3 decades would have known that exactly the events lamented in this thread would happen.👇 The gap between what Dems pretend to be and the reality of who they are could not be bigger. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheRightPodcast They have good remedial reading classes now that can help you with your inability to comprehend basic sentences and ideas. Check the internet for local tutors or adult group classes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's been an attempt by some to depict FIRE as a right-wing group. That's false and uninformed. They do defend conservatives -- often targets of campus censorship -- but they've also regularly defended free speech rights of pro-Palestinian students. https://t.co/lVyNFNCorm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In Politico, @joshgerstein has more on how FIRE -- seeing the void left by ACLU's sad abandonment of this function -- is now expanding. As Gerstein notes,"many on the political left" are now "disillusioned about unfettered free speech": undeniably true https://t.co/r0BMr43Kqp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As @ACLU has degraded into a standard left-liberal cultural advocacy group with occasional free speech defenses, @TheFIREorg has become the genuine free speech advocacy group regardless of party or ideology. They're now expanding beyond campus battles: https://t.co/TIV3jpM2jO — PolitiTweet.org

@primalpoly @wapo One should prefer any job to being imprisoned inside a newsroom where older editors are petrified and terrorized by the prospect of bad faith bigotry/misogyny accusations being weaponized at any moment by unwell, vindictive millennials, and thus constantly indulge their neuroses. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@016ca5f1 LOL. Exactly. Even after Lorenz admitted it and the creator in question proved it with screen shots, the Post still refuses to correct it. Seems the posture of the editors is: eh, we already revised this correction 3 times. That's enough, even if it still has a false claim. — PolitiTweet.org
