For those who might be interested: I have a new paper forthcoming in Erkenntnis. It's about whether linguistic data on hedging support the popular knowledge norm of assertion (spoiler: it's not so clear that they do).

Aborto prohibido en 22 estados, activistas perseguidos, prensa domesticada, gerrymandering extremo y juicios arbitrarios.
EE.UU. cumple la mayoría de indicadores de una dictadura, aunque mantenga urnas y tribunales.
La fachada sigue en pie, pero el régimen ya es autoritario.
