Because @Susan_Hennessey was one of the most deranged Russiagate conspiracists of the last 4 years, she wisely deleted all her of tweets at some point before this announcement. But you can still read her attempt to elevate the Steele Dossier here:

lawfareblog.com/why-are-trump-…
Hennessey is a perfect exhibit for the authoritarian ethos of the liberal #Resistance since 2016. That an ex *NSA lawyer* and Brookings security state loyalist became a beloved liberal pundit, now catapulting to DOJ's national security unit, says it all:

Biden's new choice for a top national security position at DOJ, ex-NSA lawyer @Susan_Hennessey, is such a dishonest loyalist to the national security state that even one of her fellow Russiagate conspiracists has accused her of being a deceitful propagandist for the NSA & FBI.

The Biden Admin is in federal court to battle a request by an Afghan citizen to be released from Guantanamo, where has been held *14 years* with no charges. His argument: the US isn't even at war any more with the Afghan self-defense militia he joined:

nytimes.com/2021/05/10/us/…
The Biden DOJ is in court insisting that he remain in a due-process-free cage -- citing their ongoing war with Al Qaeda, to which he never belonged -- even while they lie to their gullible liberal followers that they want to close Guantanamo: same as the Obama DOJ did in 2009.
This guy isn't a "terrorist." He is an Afghan who defended his country against invasion & occupation by foreign armies: something every American claims they would do, too.

Let me ask, about this & Israel: how many years would you wait to fight against a foreign occupying army?

I wonder how many GOP voters outside the Green Rooms of CNN/MSNBC even know Liz Cheney is in Congress much less give the slightest shit whether she's there or not.
Reminds me of that time in 2015 when The Washington Post's beloved-in-DC political reporter Dan Balz decreed that attacking John McCain was a bridge too far for GOP voters and that voter anger over that may finally cause Trump's collapse in the polls.😂
All the people who care about Liz Cheney are either already in the Lincoln Project protecting predators so they don't interrupt their liberal money stream or have CNN and MSNBC contracts. Maybe there are like 5 old Bush Family friends in Texas who also care: maybe.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken Continues to Lecture the World on Values His Administration Aggressively Violates

greenwald.substack.com/p/antony-blink…
How can you feign anger over other countries’ attacks on a free press when you imprison Julian Assange as punishment for his vital revelations about U.S. officials?

Every word in Blinken's interview this week on the urgent need to hold powerful leaders accountable is a farce.
It is always easy — and cheap — to condemn the human rights abuses of your enemies. It is much harder — and more meaningful — to uphold those principles for your own dissidents.

Brazil's most influential YouTuber, @FelipeNeto, says he recently discovered Noam Chomsky and, reading more history, is shocked & outraged to learn how destructive Obama was for interfering in other countries, including Brazil. As a result, Chomsky is now trending in Brazil:
Chomsky has always had an intense interest in Latin America, from the US dirty wars in the 1980s. But now his wife is Brazilian, spends much more time here, and knows so much about Brazilian politics. In 2018, with @davidmirandario in Sao Paulo:

One revealing nugget: while Chomsky is off-limits to any mainstream US politician (@mehdirhasan once asked Sanders about him and Sanders distanced himself immediately), every major center-left presidential candidate in 2018 in Brazil was eager to meet him and promote the meeting.

It is impossible to overstate the magnitude of the devastation and humiliation just suffered by the UK Labour Party in this week's elections under the bland, dull and craven leadership of Sir Kier Starmer -- and it's 100% deserved.

The pathetic Blairites and centrists who just authored the Labour Party's worst humiliation in memory are, of course, trying to blame Corbyn, but not even the UK media is buying it, since Corbyn won in many places where Labour just got crushed:

This says it all - watch this. It holds many lessons for politics throughout the democratic world, not just in the UK:

The Rio de Janeiro police today entered the favela of Jacarezinho, where @davidmirandario grew up and where his family lives, and left 25 people dead, the most of any police operation in the city's history. They entered homes, killed civilians, complete massacre and bloodshed.
The @guardian article:

"About 200 members of Rio’s police launched their incursion into Jacarezinho in the early hours....By lunchtime at least 25 people were reported dead."

“It’s extermination – there’s no other way to describe it" - activist:

theguardian.com/world/2021/may…
A lawyer who lives in Jacarezinho posted video of just one of the homes which the police entered, indiscriminately killing. Graphic imagery:
