.@Dahlialithwick, mid-righteous takedown of the #Kraken lawyers, suddenly veers off topic, declaring "Tucker Carlson isn’t being surveilled by the NSA", and that that's a "lie" of the same publicly manifest sort that "Biden stole the election" is a lie. slate.com/news-and-polit… To believe the Big Lie that "Biden stole the election", you need to disbelieve a huge array of public evidence, reviewed by disparate courts, all tending to the conclusion that Biden won.

This distils something important about the difference between right-wing and left-wing people.

It seems common among right-wing people to care for others in proportion to how much they concretely know them. It's a Confucian model of family first, then friends, then colleagues. They tend to view the utopian call to care for the welfare or the feelings of people you don't know as at best impractical, and at worst a cover for government to deprive you of resources, or for busybodies to police down to the smallest detail the way you interact with others.

Monitoring @HouseJudiciary hearing on @FBI oversight. Sole witness: Director Wray. Chair @JerryNadler sets 4 priorities: Risk of Russian interference in 2020 elections; failings in FISA app process; investigating white supremacists; & FBI efforts in Kavanaugh nomination process. @HouseJudiciary @FBI @JerryNadler No mention of key FBI role in surveilling domestic dissent. @RepJerryNadler, @RepJayapal, we need you to hold FBI accountable for their unlawful spying on activists, incl. POC, immigrant advocates & surveillance reform groups. #ProtectBlackDissent #HouseJudiciary #BIE #IronFist
