So important to be aware of the use of language (or the erasure of certain phrases) is in modern day propaganda. grist.org/language/str...

The strategy behind Trump's climate catchphrase, the 'Green New Scam'

The slogan may sound like a joke, but it’s part of a broader campaign to undermine public trust in climate action.

Getting back in the habit of using this as my personal link repository :) Loved this coverage and timelapse of a part of the coastline I have personally seen change over the past 10 years. www.newsobserver.com/news/state/n...

Changes at Hatteras Inlet leave Ocracoke ferry terminal exposed to the sea

Watch video of satellite imagery that shows how the opening between Hatteras and Ocracoke islands has grown dramatically in the last 40 years.

Thanks for the kudos. Was a tough projection to find to highlight just the northern hemisphere in a small space.

When D.C. residents have to lobby Congress to stop it from doing things that could be harmful to the city, they’re told to contact their… oh, right. No senators or voting representatives.

Mike Janssen @mjanssen.bsky.social · Mar 12

@maustermuhle.bsky.social You might want to know that two parents from our kids' school said Sens. Mark Kelly and Angus King told them "contact your own representatives" when they contacted them about the bill that would cut DC's budget. Uhhh... and apparently King even said "contact your senator"!

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the DCist shutdown, @ericfalquero.bsky.social reflects on that day and how far we’ve come in building The 51st.

Right now, we need 142 paid members to keep our fundraising on track. You can be one of them!

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

I feel like we should start making global hemispheres the mobile default, these look lovely (and clear!)

Today's the day we finally got to use two very mobile-friendly hemispheres 🌐 on this #dataviz explainer 📊 about US tariffs www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... - thanks to the cartographers community (esp @pinakographos.bsky.social) who generously shared their knowledge when I asked for suggestions 🙂
