Leading the 2022 presidential polling, Brazil's Lula da Silva harshly criticizes Biden for fueling the war in Ukraine with $40b more, while Americans can't get baby's milk and ignores starving people -- a basic left-wing message, as the Squad unanimously and quietly votes YES. — PolitiTweet.org

Judges in high-profile trials often succumb to 1 of 2 failures: 1) intimidated by the scrutiny, they allow disorder to reign, or 2) craving attention, they perform for the cameras. The Heard/Depp judge did neither: she stayed in the background but always controlled the trial.👍 https://t.co/baXF1Bj57Y — PolitiTweet.org

@wheelyperverted I produced and narrated a 90-minute documentary on the Flynn case, along with multiple articles reporting on it. Other than that small problem: excellent point. https://t.co/wow9KFXlVZ — PolitiTweet.org

I never had interest but watched the whole trial for 2 reasons (beyond my residual love of trials from lawyer days): 1) it says much about what does - and doesn't - make someone happy, and 2) you see the huge gap between media narratives and reality when you watch for yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Probably the most balanced and thoughtful article onDepp/Heard came from @nataliesurely in TNR. A long-time feminist, she argues Heard's case lacked credibility, but has no broader meaning beyond Heard's lying. It's worth reading: https://t.co/Sib8Yn1Eqf — PolitiTweet.org

Wow: what an informative and even-handed way to report what happened in this six-week-long trial. This tweet by itself shows the complete folly of forming opinions about complex events, especially trials, by relying on what activist liberal outlets tell you to think about them: — PolitiTweet.org

(More accurately: Heard promised to pay $3.5m of her $7m settlement from Depp to the ACLU, and failed to fulfill that promise. She remains and ACLU Ambassador and the testimony established that the ACLU ghost-wrote considerable parts of the defamatory WPost op-ed about Depp). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The problem for the ACLU is that -- while this admission is obviously true (polls show Dems overwhelmingly favor internet censorship by both Big Tech *and the state*) -- the abandonment of free speech and due process come from many of its key lawyers: https://t.co/hf5cduClw7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The ACLU, responding to numerous articles criticizing it for not just abandoning its core free speech and due process values but *violating* them, admits: "There is no question some on the left are less committed to free speech than they once were." https://t.co/7MoG6WZLe7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One fact that clearly emerged from the trial: the Amber Heard op-ed in the @washingtonpost that the jury just found defamed Johnny Depp was ghost-written by @ACLU, after Heard promised to pay them $7 million (a promise she never fulfilled). They have a lot to answer for. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As always, the show will have a Q-&-A with the audience for questions, comments, and discussion. Download Callin on iPhone or Android. (As I said during the Rittenhouse controversy, having strong opinions about a trial you didn't watch, at least in large part, is irrational). — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight at 7pm ET, I'll be live on @getcallin, discussing the acquittal on narrow lying-to-FBI charges for Hillary's lawyer and the ongoing Trump/Alfa-Bank fraud, the verdict against ACLU Ambassador Amber Heard, plus: the narrative shift on Ukraine. https://t.co/0vjzV9taZw — PolitiTweet.org

@ChloeVTweets @powellnyt The "LGBT" group demanded anonymity and refused to let the NYT identify who they were. So they are also cowards: demanding that Martina never be quoted or heard from while hiding themselves behind a wall of anonymity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DgFontanella Yes, Renee Richards has also said it would've been unfair even though she fought to compete in the WTA. She was in her 40s then. She said she would've destroyed the top WTA players if she competed earlier as a woman, and it would've been unfair. https://t.co/RDfuK6MN8k https://t.co/mZ2pJltEAj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sanewman1 You must be illiterate, since I explicitly said: debating Martina and arguing how and why she's wrong is completely valid, what activists should be doing. What I object to is the attempt to silence and de-platform her, as the NYT reporter said and as they've been doing for years. https://t.co/ucBs2VERtx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dietcheese @powellnyt I signed to make a film about Martina's life several years ago - because she was a childhood hero of mine - and wrote about why the film didn't get made, so I've been "commenting" on this for many years due to its importance to me for obvious reasons. https://t.co/7Z96a7IowL — PolitiTweet.org
