To say you can predict the future is to say there will be no new ideas.
Written text is almost always ambiguous & readers have to resolve that ambiguity quickly in a process called "disambiguation.' What they rely on most of all to do that is background knowledge. Which is why it's so central to reading comprehension. teachlikeachampion.org/blog/a-slightl…

@Sam_kuyp Not just science, but knowledge creation in general! It's interesting though, that so many errors stem from the idea that we must reach certainty in our understanding. Yet if progress is the goal then certainty is the enemy.
Not only is Tucker wrong, he's dead wrong. Dropping the atomic bombs on Japan was not only necessary, but actually good. H/t @RocketPulpHack rationalpolicy.com/2023/07/26/ato…
🚨 Tucker Carlson on the atomic bombs "My 'side' has spent the last 80 years defending the dropping of nuclear bombs on civilians...like, are you joking? If you find yourself arguing that it's a good thing to drop nuclear weapons on people, then you are evil." -Tucker Carlson
@Maria7797943007 The brain has no access to reality. Only to some electrical currents inside itself. Sense impressions do not come with labels saying that caused them. We provide those, fallibly, by conjecture and criticism.
If a foreign country had bombed an American embassy or consulate somewhere, what do you think the US would do in return? What do you think it should do? Probably more than purposely sending some slow, old drones and missiles in a way that you know can and will be intercepted.
@legaltweetz @jk_rowling Oh sure- it’s easy for rich and famous people. I used to get that line in the 80’s- “it’s easy for you to be out because you’re famous!!!” Oh sure- it’s a piece of cake getting death threats, rape threats etc. What utter drivel
Will they have to do far more than they might otherwise have been required to do by another judge? Yes. My response? Boo hoo. It's a criminal trial, someone's personal liberty is at stake, do the work. /end
The House must NOT pass any legislation that could be read to permanently reauthorize Section 702, let alone permanently reauthorizing it without a single reform. This provision of RISAA must be fixed, or the bill should be DOA. @SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries 11/11
Trust people. Be skeptical of government. Especially the federal government. Especially when the federal government wants to spy on you without a warrant. Don’t let your congressman/woman vote to reauthorize FISA 702 without a warrant requirement. #StopTheSpying
If these reforms are not adopted, I strongly encourage every member of the House to oppose the reauthorization of FISA 702 this week.
I also strongly encourage @SpeakerJohnson to allow for a vote on, and advocate for passage of, an amendment containing the Lee-Leahy measures to provide much-needed transparency to the FISA process.
@SpeakerJohnson has indicated that he’ll allow the House to vote on a few amendments. I strongly encourage him and every House member to support the amendment requiring a warrant to protect Americans from warrantless surveillance under FISA 702.
This week the House Intel Committee is forcing a vote to approve this (#FISA 702). Despite it being against the country's interest, opposed by ~98% of American voters, and a violation of the 4th Amendment, it is championed by @SpeakerJohnson and expected to pass. Say NO to 702.
Should the FBI be able to spy on you without a warrant?
You should read this whole thread to see the depths of deceit the Intelligence Community's puppeteered House reps engage in to try and jam through a bill that will radically undermine the 4th Amendment's warrant requirement. Lying to colleagues, and lying to you. #FISA 702
🚨Happening now: The House Rules committee considers the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act, a bill to reauthorize FISA Section 702. I'll share thoughts on the hearing below, and you can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=r-p7MN…
@Jim_Jordan swats this down pretty quickly. Rightly notes that the question is not about the collection of information under 702, but about searching Section 702 databases for Americans' private communications.
@jahimes now says that Section 702 is a critical national security tool. But that's a non-sequitur--the real question is whether reforms to protect Americans' privacy would compromise that value. They wouldn't: brennancenter.org/our-work/analy…
Special Counsel Jack Smith: "A President’s alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election and thwart the peaceful transfer of power to his lawfully elected successor is the paradigmatic example of conduct that should not be immunized"
This may be the most critical piece: Smith tells the Court, even if you think there might need to be some immunity for a president, it's not this case. Let this one go to trial.
@avyargo Much of the best reporting is about freeing people from prison by showing judges and prosecutors act corruptly. I'm not going to protect Sergio Moro. If you want a journalist who will only provide or hide information based on which party it helps or hurts, don't look to me.
