Heckling a white male President -- who happens to be the primary Senate advocate of and architect for the US Prison State and the Iraq War -- is the same as heckling young black children who want to go to school. This is how noble causes are weaponized for lowly partisan ends: — PolitiTweet.org

Starting, LIVE, in 2 minutes.... The key exchanges and revelations from today's House hearing on Big Tech censorship and its pre-election suppression of reporting. Then: were @JoeRogan's comments anti-Semitic, a harmless joke or something else? Are there consistent standards? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's really amazing who Facebook chose to announce to the world that the tech giant would be algorithmically suppressing the NY Post's incriminating reporting about the Democratic presidential candidate. He devoted his entire adult life to empowering the Democratic Party: https://t.co/OUvj2KdJBx — PolitiTweet.org

It's vital to remember: it wasn't just Twitter that censored the Biden reporting before the 2020 election. Facebook did, too. They announced it through life-long Dem operative @andymstone. Notably, the "fact-check" he claimed FB was doing never came: — PolitiTweet.org

The views of Twitter's senior executives on pretty much everything -- but especially on free speech and censorship -- are exactly what you would hear in the most culturally left sectors of East Coast academia, and the most neurotic sectors of Brooklyn-based liberal digital media: — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight on @SystemUpdate_, live at 7pm ET: Big Tech confronts House hearings: on censorship, collusion with US Security State and interference in 2020 election. Plus: Were @JoeRogan's comments bigoted anti-Semitism, a harmless joke, or something else? https://t.co/L7hlosCLQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

5) Even though everyone now admits the materials were fully authentic - that Russia had nothing whatsoever to do with those materials and they were 100% true - no media outlet retracted its lies. 6) Dems spent all day in Congress defending all of this. https://t.co/kjLH42pbaf — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

3) Big Tech then used that CIA lie - laundered by the corporate media - to justify censoring the NY Post's reporting on Biden's activities in Ukraine and China. 4) Once Biden won, all major outlets admitted the materials all along were 100% real, as was the story of its origin. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

At the end of the day, the story of Twitter and FB"s censorship is simple: 1) To protect Biden, CIA invented an outright lie: the materials used by the NY Post to report on Joe Biden's business activities were "Russian disinformation." 2) Corporate media ratified that lie: https://t.co/AJVW34V9BY — PolitiTweet.org

This panel of ex-senior Twitter executives could easily be put on an MSNBC panel to talk about any political issue; they would spout every standard left-liberal platitude; and you wouldn't notice anything amiss. They're all just liberals, seeing and censoring the world that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Listening to this House hearing, it's amazing how every one of these former senior Twitter executives sounds exactly like every left-liberal loyalist to the Democratic Party. Yet, Yoel Roth just denied he had any political bias in his work 😂. https://t.co/6Ss9BSbyY8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When a party's President is in the WH, they insist investigations are a trivial distraction from What Really Matters.™ When a President is in the other party, they are vital for Saving Democracy. Every new Dem in Congress, like @GregCasar, seems excited by Big Tech censorship https://t.co/IBt54FWAMz — PolitiTweet.org

Read @Popehat -- back when he was still a sober commentator: in 2012 -- about why the hallmark of someone deeply ignorant about 1st Am law is citing the "shouting-fire-in-a-crowded-theater" example to justify censorship, as several House Dems did today: https://t.co/sXS3wqplcz https://t.co/PynYKCmzP3 — PolitiTweet.org

@apagliar Yes, though what's notable about it is that it's basically just a vivid expression of what happens in most of these facilities around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

@ianbremmer Right. I agree that - as is true of campaign rhetoric and thinks like election-year party platforms - events like these tell us what the parties believe voters want to hear. But they don't tell us much or even anything about what these leaders will actually do. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ianbremmer Maybe, though I haven't really seen many critiquing the speech as some poor act of oratory as opposed to contesting the claims. Personally, I really don't give a shit about these speeches because they're only political theater and have no bearing on anything real or substantive. — PolitiTweet.org

Muitas famílias do Jacarezinho e de outras comunidades perderam tudo com as fortes chuvas de ontem. O diretor da nossa @ongcriadefavela -- @Dieguinho - está pedindo doações de materiais que ajudam. Teremos uma página para permitir que outras pessoas fora do Brasil tb ajudem. 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even Twitter says it was wrong to censor reporting about Joe Biden weeks before the 2020 election and was wrong to lock the account of the nation's oldest newspaper for its *true* reporting. AOC doesn't just think this is a waste of time but believes the censorship was noble: — PolitiTweet.org

@TrujilloKurt You're a self-identified Democrat with the Ukraine flag in your bio. It's not that surprising that you find my journalism upsetting. That said, Zelensky has pleaded with young Americans like you who support their cause to go there and help them fight. https://t.co/y4dcSsA8KT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@2016Bernie2020 You do have any affinity for "corporate Dems" (meaning: Democrats). That's why you don't consider them "the dark side." That's why you rise in their defense. Just say "I'm a Democrat" and you'll feel better. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyone primarily motivated by money over the last 6 years (I'm not saying Richardson is) knew the easiest path to media wealth: endless DNC and Trump-as-Hitler scripts. Ask Rick Wilson, Maddow, Bernie/AOC YouTube stars, the anti-Trump authors. That's where the liberal cash was. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Dems repeatedly heckled Trump. Blue Qween Nancy Pelosi had one of her most viral moments when she flamboyantly tore up Trump's speech at the sacred Podium. Pretending that Republicans broke with some age-old decorum is false, but it's what gets liberals' credit cards out. https://t.co/42gc6NY0NB — PolitiTweet.org
