@pedrohrsilva I do. And apparently Judge de Moraes does as well since he banned them from the internet. — PolitiTweet.org

(For those saying they aren't subscribers to the NYT and thus can't read that article on the very controversial Brazilian Supreme Court judge, we covered the article's key passages in our video report last night, starting at 41:00): https://t.co/yUD80OiU1U — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is from a small-ish left-wing party in Brazil that - while vehemently supporting Lula - believes in free speech, got banned from the internet for criticizing the mass censorship imposed by that single judge, and is trying to warn of the dangers of authoritarian overreaction: https://t.co/4HN4nCJlXn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FudgeTosser We covered many of the key passages of that article in the video report we did last night (see the second tweet): https://t.co/yUD80OiU1U — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We covered this, as well as the other aspects of Sunday's protest-turned-riot, on our @SystemUpdate_ show last night. Lots of misconceptions about Brazil, Lula, etc. on both the US left and right: https://t.co/yUD80OiU1U — PolitiTweet.org

I really urge any American media types who have decreed themselves overnight Brazil experts to read this Sept article in the NYT -- which I choose because they trust it -- about the conduct of Brazil's SupCt Judge Alexandre deMoraes. It's crucial context: https://t.co/UpbsF2pJUm — PolitiTweet.org

@davidgoldiner Like everyone in the world, they don't apply their stated principles perfectly and consistently to every instance, hence the question I raise here and that I've raised many times before. https://t.co/uyNShkpZE5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ryangilmore What the fuck do you think these tweets are? Do you think they're visible only to liberals? I've raised this many, many times. And I've discussed this on my show before. https://t.co/uyNShkpZE5 — PolitiTweet.org

@ryangilmore What the fuck do you think these tweets are? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FeelsLlc No. American liberals defend US aid to Israel on a completely different ground: that Israel is a liberal democracy working toward a 2-state solution with Palestinians. Neither is true, hence they have no argument left. The "America First" group has separate problems with this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The excuse US liberals used for decades was they could live with support for Israel due to the 2-state solution. That's been dead for years, and now Israel candidly opposes it. And few "America First" advocates are willing to apply their principles to US billions for Israel. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

New Israeli NatSec minister bans any public displays of the flag of the Palestinian Authority. I've still never heard a cogent attempt to reconcile "America First" principles with massive US aid, and US liberals have no arguments left to defend this: https://t.co/dNYKzHBXNH — PolitiTweet.org

One more time: The USG (with exceptions) has the power to direct any foreign national who legally entered the US to leave the country, but can't direct them where to go. It's up to the Brazilian Govt to indict Bolsonaro, then request his extradition. They've done neither. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Classic yet depressing example of how disinformation spreads online. This is a letter from one Congresswoman-elect asking the Foreign Ministry to request Bolsonaro's extradition. It's not an indictment much less an extradition request, yet it went viral as if it's both: — PolitiTweet.org

@oringordon @IlhanMN Yes, in fact, I've already said how misguided it is for McCarthy to target her for stripping her of committees, and that he should instead focus on far more toxic and dishonest dangers like Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell. https://t.co/DOjEndijRn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Mark_Weissman Yeah, I've criticized her myself, especially for when she capitulates to the Dem Party, such as when she warned of the dangers of US involvement in the war in Ukraine and then voted for it anyway. But ad hoc coalitions are about working with people to get things done. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And remember, Rep. Omar was the first - from either party - to warn against a New War on Terror in the name of fear generated by 1/6. Obviously, she's on the left and conservatives will disagree with her but there's more common ground than people realize: https://t.co/ZIFubnP2gQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As one more example: here was @IlhanMN denouncing journalists for investigating and exposing citizens who donated relatively small amounts of money to the Canadian Truckers' strike. I can't think of another Dem who would've done this: https://t.co/mdVAU55H9P — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm never going to tire of saying that @IlhanMN is easily the most independent-minded and heterodox of the Squad members and one of the most in the entire Dem caucus. Listen to her here: for this new Church Committee to succeed, it has to have some bipartisan support: — PolitiTweet.org

@AbominableFancy @mtracey Because I didn't feel like having scummy leftist smear artists claim the opposite of what I said - that I was urging empathy for the protesters - instead of what I said: that the protesters whining about prison conditions should think about the millions held long-term unjustly. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Starting LIVE in 5 minutes.... What really happened in Brazil yesterday, and what are its implications? Plus: @mtracey on a new study proving "Russian Twitter bots" had no effect, and a new article shows: US media misunderstands "left v. right" politics: https://t.co/yUD80OiU1U — PolitiTweet.org

We're using the video below as part of our show tonight to analyze how the US media "reported" events in Brazil. Anyone know the basis for considering one-term Congressman @WalshFreedom an expert in Brazil? I asked if he ever even visited the country but so far I have no reply. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AndersonMorbec @WalshFreedom @CNN Note the implied racism and sense of US superiority in that CNN exchange: Brazilians are too stupid and primitive to figure out how to protest their government or express doubts abou the integrity of their institutions until Trump and the US taught them how to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Purpurinadox 👍 Não tenho problema em ficar confuso sobre o ponto de vista de alguém. É especialmente comum no Twitter e minha frase pode ter contribuído. Mas acho que é preciso muito cuidado antes de insinuar que alguém é racista. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WalshFreedom @CNN Thanks for this expert analysis on the situation in Brazil. Have you ever been to Brazil? — PolitiTweet.org

@jcalebkendrick Try not commenting on languages you don't speak or countries you don't understand. That would be a good start for not spewing lies and then, instead of apologizing when you realize you did it, start hysterically trying to change the topic. — PolitiTweet.org
