I have seen more calls for pardon this year than in all others combined. No other issue in our time unites left, right, and center like the struggle to end governments' abuse of mass surveillance and secrecy, and that would not be true without you -- and your advocacy. Thank you.

Censorship is on the rise, often led by companies that shape the very direction of our lives. Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) and I discussed the new contest for control of our attention as an instrument of power, which you can watch freely here: greenwald.substack.com/p/video-interv…

For folks who see 'Snowden' trending and want to know more about why people are discussing a pardon for my part in revealing the NSA's unconstitutional mass surveillance program, I took @joerogan through the whole history here: youtube.com/watch?v=efs3QR…

Whether you're for or against Biden, this thread is an important look into the troubling histories of some of those he has chosen to reshape agencies that have a tremendous influence over your life -- no matter where you live. twitter.com/kgosztola/stat…

You taught us so much. I'll miss you, old friend.

Our greatest wish is that, wherever our son lives, he feels at home.

Lindsay and I will remain Americans, raising our son with all the values of the America we love—including the freedom to speak his mind. And I look forward to the day I can return to the States, so the whole family can be reunited.

After years of separation from our parents, my wife and I have no desire to be separated from our son. That's why, in this era of pandemics and closed borders, we're applying for dual US-Russian citizenship. twitter.com/lsjourneys/sta…

This is the most interesting mobile security project I've seen in a very long time, by one of technology's brightest minds. Keep an eye on it.

CNN badly misreported this.
A) This is not a settlement; I didn't agree to it.
B) The judgement from this censorship case is not enforceable while I am in exile, but I've never had that much money anyway.
Better headline: "US could gain up to $5m by pardoning Edward Snowden." twitter.com/CNNPolitics/st…

I sat down with @joerogan to talk about all the things that can and cannot be said -- and who decides them. From mass surveillance and my new book, Permanent Record, to deplatforming, police violence, and pardon, there's a lot here. youtube.com/watch?v=_Rl82O…

Read this thread about how a federal court ruled last year that the FBI broke surveillance laws 15,993 out of 16,000 times -- and that's just the beginning. twitter.com/LizaGoitein/st…
