TT1/ Trump Tactics vs {complaints, lawsuits, prosecutions} are predictable, based on study of TrumpU actions, just ABCD:
Admit nothing, stonewall
Bash plaintiffs/prosecutors
Corrupt (at least try) legal system - judges, AGs & witnesses
Delay legal proceeding via filing blizzards Image TT2/ This Wikipedia page is a reasonable overview of the cases against TrumpU, including examples of <ABCD>.
It is missing many money flows to government officials <C>, covered later.

AG1/ ADOLESCENT BRAINS, DRIVING, GUNS
Adolescent brain development varies, often continues as long as 24.
Google: "adolescent brain development" gets hits that explain, like:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Lacking a simple adult-brain test, ages 18 or 21 are societal approximations. AG2/ Example: nicotine addiction, which for most works only during adolescent brain development.
Almost no one starts after age 24. National Academies(2015) documented the strong science:
Search PDF for adolescent brain, see (annotated) Fig2-3 p.45.

LA1/ Roe v Wade, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Ohio etc.
This 🧵 assumes:
a) State goals as restrictive as legally possible.
b) Any tactic that survives challenge will be copied by others. LAWYERS, HELP? Which tactics likely?
I started 🧵but then great paper popped up, see LA7. LA2/ I assume goals, w/ tactics usually tried already:
A) ANY fertilized egg is legally a child (LA HB213).
Visitor + Plan B illegal
B) No legal in-state abortions for any reason, rape, incest, health of mother (including ectopic pregnancy, OH), i.e., fetus >>health(mother)

Do I read this right (I'm not lawyer): if Roe overturned & this Louisiana bill becomes law, abortion any time there = murder.
legiscan.com/LA/text/HB813/…
This says murder punishable by death when victim under age of 12... (but maybe jury says life sentence).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_p… Maybe lawyers can look at the proposed LA text and explain if this sort of thing would likely hold up if Roe is overturned to extent Alito & co want to?
Succinctly: could a state decalre an abortion homicide and invoke death penalty or at least life imprisonment for it?

The two guys shrank in their chairs.

@DustyBowl @MethaneThiol @niko_tinius Interesting! You probably know winelandsofbritain.co.uk/lecture.htm but in some sense an even less-noisy (simpler geography/history) climate:wine correlation is the Northward expansion of vineyards in Lake Okanagan area in British Columbia over recent decades.

bcbusiness.ca/bc-wine-countr… @DustyBowl @MethaneThiol @niko_tinius Amusingly (given WSJ OpEd hostility to climate science) here was a decent article in the Okanagan valley wine expansion (Tappen is actually further North of the Lake).

KA1/ Roger Stone is an infamous trickster, but it's a bad mistake to blame him for attack on @alfranken (or anything else w/o evidence).

@mattblaze AFAIK the only group to discover Ken’s hack was us in PWB/UNIX. One of the other guys noticed C prepreprocessor had gotten bigger, looked at binary namelist, found symbol not in source code. I got onto Ken’s system, found the code, very clever. @mattblaze A bit latet, I was in Lab 127’s terminal room, talking to dmr or bwk, and overheard amusing conversation between ken and Robert Morris Sr, who sometimes consulted for NSA.

CB0.1 Two fine books arrived Tuesday, the first recommended to me a few days earlier by @ProfPCDoherty, the other I’d pre-ordered months ago. I was amused to find on the first page of their Preface, @CT_Bergstrom and @jevinwest a quote Frankfurt's book, a classic I'd missed. CB0.2 These will join the stack I sometimes use as examples of influential books on critical thinking.
As @CT_Bergstrom has noted, there are issues with Huff’s book for current use, but I included it for historical significance.

@Cloudflare SSV1/More to the SIGSEGV story.
UNIX 1970/71 was implemented on PDP-11/20s, which had no memory mapping of protection, although BTL research later got an 11/20 with the KS-11 mapping option:
bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/pi…
bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/od… @Cloudflare SSV2/UNIX Third Edition apparently didn’t have signal(II)
bitsavers.org/pdf/att/unix/3… Unsurprisingly as few PDP-11/20s in Bell Labs would have had KS-11s.

h1/ Trump needs COVID Conqueror PR scheme for reelection:
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for masses, avoid controlled clinical trials.
Most people have mild cases or recover anyway, but many who take HCQ will swear Trump saved them,
although sugar pill might have worked as well. Image h2/ Visual representation of COVID Conqueror scheme.
HCQ has side -effects, requires great care with dosage.
Real experts are very cautious, want trials.
Trump makes it harder:
Doctor: trial? We’ll randomly give you HCQ or placebo.
NO, I want Trump’s drug! (already occurred). Image

I’ve been collecting & annotating credible information from @UCSF experts on COVID-19, as it appears, in the subthreads of
CV1-
This thread selects those relevant specifically to HCQ & CQ. f2/ 03/19/20 @annieluet discussed potential treatments of COVID-19, in internal meeting primarily geared for doctors. I’ve annotated to help general public.

1/ @UCSF is one of the top medical schools in US, think {Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Penn, Stanford, UCSF, in some order or other, depending on topic}. @Bob_Wachter is Head of Dept of Medicine (& author of fine books Internal Bleeding, The Digital Doctor...} He does daily updates. 2/ On March 19, he ran a panel of @UCSF experts.
This is well-worth watching, although non-expert eyes will glaze over at a few parts. Don't worry about that.
There's important stuff, like on drugs being hyped before serious trials happen, as per Trump.

@cnnbrk 1/ For most, nicotine addiction only works during adolescent brain development (peak -5-19, but varies ~10-24 years, yes often into early 20s). See esp CA3-4 in
CA1-4.
Adolescent-brained people do not always make good decisions, even if physically adult. @cnnbrk 2/ Big Tobacco has known this for at least 4 decades (see CA4/ on 1980s origin for Joe Camel) & Big Tobacco has some of best & well-funded marketeers in world, sble to convince adolescents onto path to eventual miserable deaths (lung cancer, COPD. At least heart attacks quick.)

CA1/ Nicotine addiction works 4 most ONLY during adolescent brain development, ~10-24. Big Tobacco thrives only by getting youths committed to slow, bur profitable, suicide.
In 2016, California was 2nd state to raise legal age from 18 to 21.
tobacco21.org/state/californ… CA2/ Youths often make risky choices, but society tries to help them avoid lasting harm (ex:driver licenses).
This law reduces harm, but also nicotine profits, so:
In CA, 75 legislators voted Yes.
Of 44 who did not, 40 got Big Tobacco $ (34 Republicans, 6 Democrats) 2009-16.
