Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      I'd love a bot that creates a Venn diagram of those focused on Moscow protests versus those who gave a damn abt NoDPL protests.

      Or even a Venn diagram of those focused on Moscow protest and those who care abt BLM. But I guess that's just whataboutism, huh?

      I don't understand. Is there a moral or ethical point being made?

      There are people who only care about protests when they protest our adversaries, even if protests for similar abuses happen here.

      This is oh so true! A glass house is an abode we all live in. And throwing stones is what we're really good at.

      It's a good way to distract from black men & women being killed for no reason, as if that is not political in the way killings in Russia are

      Part of explanation (not justification though) is tendency & reluctance not to navel gaze at our own navel, but at the navels of others.

      Which is encouraged by TPTB.

      I really want someone to reconsider history of "whataboutism" for studied disdain it embraced for black lives. Jim Crow REALLY WAS that bad.

          We sort of acknowledge that Jim Crow was that bad now. But don't acknowledge that yelling at Communists provided Jim Crow cover.

          Then, as now, black men being killed extrajudicially wasn't considered "political" in the way Soviet repression was. Just dead bodies.
