Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

die Namensfrage ist nur ein dummer Versuch, einen Kulturkampf anzuzetteln und abzulenken. Aber vielleicht lernt die Union ja, dass die US-Politik in Deutschland anders funktioniert.

Thanks for the film recommendation. I've not seen it, but Martin Parr held a presentation at my old university in 2012.
(check your DMs ;)

Also got this recommendation on youtube, with Parr talks a bit more

The newsletter will be back up and running later today, with a new issue compiling the best dataviz related things I saw during July-August.

With non-work life now a little more settled, from next month I'll be able to revert back to my monthly-issue rhythm.

It's worth catching some of his talks - even online in video - as he's a great and curious person.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
