We thought that when Joe Biden was elected president, the world would maybe lighten up a little on shaming America.
But as it turns out, the world may just be more empowered than ever to talk about how much America sucks. You know, now that they’ll have an administration that agrees with them.
The U.N. Human Rights Council has been going around the global circle and giving other countries a chance to shame us on our abysmal human rights record:
Happening now: We are live tweeting as ?? the U.S. record on human rights is now being reviewed at the U.N.'s Human Rights Council by Cuba, Belarus, North Korea, Syria, Iran, China & other champions of human rights. https://t.co/B95bSuJhZM

We literally cannot:
No joke: Ahead of U.N. review of U.S. rights record, China—which herded 1 million Muslims into camps to kill their religion & culture—asks: “What measures has U.S. taken to eliminate systematic racism, racial discrimination, white supremacy, religious intolerance and xenophobia?“ pic.twitter.com/azw4UMagK7

When the U.S. goes tomorrow before a UNHRC review of its rights record, the Islamic Republic of Iran is planning to take the floor to accuse the U.S. of arbitrary detention, violating international human rights law, targeting dual nationals & oppressing women—i.e., what it does. pic.twitter.com/tu6fxL73Kd

Tomorrow: ?? U.S. gets its human rights record reviewed at the U.N. Human Rights Council.
?? Syria's Assad regime—which bombs its own people in homes, hospitals & schools—will accuse the U.S. of violating “international humanitarian law & human rights law.“

Weapons-grade is right.
Also asks about torture, arbitrary detention and coercion of developing countries. It’s classic propaganda technique: pre-emptively accuse others of what you are most guilty of. https://t.co/uIFeSbyZRK
