Is it me or are we moving into Rwandan Genocide territory in the U.S., replacing the Hutu-led government calling for extermination of Tutsis with “mainstream” MAGA calling for extermination of democrats…and persons of color…and LGBTQA+…and…

#GIS is more than static #maps! It is a way to visualize data, convey information and tell stories. 🌎📖 Learn the latest #ArcGIS tools that power deeper communication in our brand-new MOOC (started last week). Register: bit.ly/4zcXqLh #mapping #cartography #esri #GISchat #geospatial #geosky

Can a presidential pardon protect someone from treason charges? Asking for people in a certain president’s circle who may be experiencing things after the midterms.

Another Illinois GIS Association conference is in the books. Time to start getting more done ahead of the Illinois Geographical Society conference in the spring.

I have my students create maps using this data. Nice to see the update.

Uhh... Trump promised to pay every American $5,000 if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate. First off, he's lying. Second, will SOMEBODY who has the authority and skill set to do so, please do something about this blatant "pay for votes" scheme. JFC

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”

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?...

Well, if yesterday's map was ridiculous, I'm running out of superlatives to characterize today's. Countless locations from Pacific Coast to Great Plains are currently experiencing all-time record March warmth, w/ some locations approaching/exceeding April (or even May) records.

This just happened to me (text message to my wife) in downstate Illinois. I immediately spoke with the County Clerk who was horrified and promised immediate action. Trump’s America, folks.

Trump now has three options: 1) Retreat from Iran and lose the middle east forever, Israel destroyed 2) Put boots on the ground and lose thousands and thousands of U.S. troops 3) Bomb Iran with nukes and risk global destruction Nice going you stupid MAGAts

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.
