There are different ways that kids who are gay take on the rejection and alienation they feel. The way I dealt with it was to say, ‘You know what? You’re imposing judgments on me and condemnations, but I don’t accept them. I’m going to instead turn the light on you and see what your flaws are and impose the same judgmental standards on you.’ Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
The primary theory embraced by the Bush administration to justify its War on Terror policies was that the ‘battlefield’ is no longer confined to identifiable geographical areas, but instead, the entire globe is now one big, unlimited ‘battlefield.’ Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
The core distortion of the War on Terror under both Bush and Obama is the Orwellian practice of equating government accusations of terrorism with proof of guilt. One constantly hears U.S. government defenders referring to ‘terrorists’ when what they actually mean is: those accused by the government of terrorism. Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
I think Dianne Feinstein may be the most Orwellian political official in Washington. It is hard to imagine having a government more secretive than the United States. Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
I’ve always thought stability was suffocating and deadly. Like, when I read that the kids I went to law school with have stayed at the same firm, I feel like I’m reading an obituary. How much money do you need? Six million, seven million? Put that in the bank and do something else. Get out! Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
The point of asylum is not to declare to the world what country you think is the pinnacle of civilization. The point of asylum is to find a country that’s both willing and able to protect you from political persecution. In no way is asylum an endorsement of a country’s politics, laws, or values.

The American national security state is totally bipartisan. My biggest problem is with the Democrats, like Feinstein and Pelosi, who are defending it because there is a Democrat in the White House, and they are party loyalists and hacks before they are public servants. Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
There is a massive apparatus within the United States government that with complete secrecy has been building this enormous structure that has only one goal, and that is to destroy privacy and anonymity, not just in the United States, but around the world. Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
Government and businesses cannot function without enormous amounts of data, and many people have to have access to that data. Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
The Obama administration says we only destroy the privacy of non-Americans. That is not true. The government is spying on Americans. Glenn Greenwald Read Quote
