I have my students create maps using this data. Nice to see the update.
#GAZA mapper has been updated to include the most recent #UNOSAT damage assessment data & current/archive satellite imagery (2026/2022). Use the swipe tool to compare 🛰️ imagery & layer tool to visualise data. go.qub.ac.uk/gazamapper.

Today, on this day of remembrance, Trump had better keep his damned pie hole shut about Canada. I, for one, will forever remember the gift of love our brothers and sisters in Gander, Halifax, and Vancouver gave on this day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

12½ years ago, I made a map of all the buildings in the Netherlands. Unexpectedly, people loved it! Ever since, I have been wanting to make an updated version of the map. Newer data, higher resolution, more interactive! I never got around to it, until last week: bertspaan.nl/buildings

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”
My fellow Americans: Contact your Congressional Representatives and Senators NOW and speak up! www.house.gov/representati...
Spot on, Jack. Let’s also not lose sight of the fact that Trump’s possible moves to cancel the midterms is reliant on a compliant military leadership who won’t balk at unconstitutional orders. I hope it doesn’t get to that, but the stats sure do seem to be aligning.
Pete Hegseth fired the Army's top general yesterday. Not for incompetence. Because he refused to remove two Black men and two women from a promotion list. Here's the sequence that should alarm you. youtu.be/cEZiEl3Pdus?...

Hey remember when all you amoral racists who can’t spell “you’re” told us that Trump was the anti-war candidate, bc the billionaires who control right wing media told you to think that? Billionaires got their tax cut. We got wars. Now go figure how to pay for groceries rent & medicine this month.
1. The American people were under no imminent threat from Iran. Its government does not have nuclear weapons. It was no more threatening to Israel or any other US ally than it normally is.
