    Here's a piece that I've been meaning to write, but haven't had the guts, for nigh on 10 years now... It starts with my experiences with fascist violence in Moscow in the spring of 2005, when I first started learning about Nazbols and Strasserists. /1

    “in 2019, conservatives understand they can construct a parallel reality & have it accepted. They can act in bad faith & prevail, using tried & tested tactics that liberal media continue to fall for.” ⁦⁩ nails the story

    One potential in the future is running spatial autocorrelation to see the residual implications and potential effects of past hate crimes on present rates of crime. Look at spatial data from the past 20 years and see if certain places are repeat offenders & why. /9

    Note the rad feature on this map that lets you play with aspect. This is something I haven't seen on a hate crime spatial analysis before. Its utility is mostly coolness at this point, but it's interesting to see where it will go in future maps (maybe more scales?). /8

    I really, really like what they did with the color ramp as it stands. It's simple, discrete, the transparencies work, and the shootouts actually stand out. You might think, "why did they include that metric?" but when you see the colors, it sort of makes sense. /7

    I'm not saying this piece is too simple; it's great at what it does. And part of that leads your imagination on a wild ride of possibilities. I know, this is a macabre subject and it's weird to get this invested in death maps, but spatial representations are great tools. /6

    Another interesting thought that arises. The ADL admits its numbers are likely under-representative. What if there was something open-source about this map? How about toggle options that include anti-LGBQTI actions, and so on? /5

    But the ability to zoom out also offers us a chance to think about how this map might scale in terms of European additions. Can this project be combined with out group efforts in Germany, France, the UK...? What about violence against indigenous ppl in Brazil? /4

    I really like that they made this a bigger map, so that you need to zoom out to check Alaska and Hawaii. No need for tight insets when you have the zoom feature on a webmap. We also have the capacity to zoom in—ie, all the boroughs of NYC have their own representation. /3

    Aside from labeling the Sargasso Sea, which is something that for wtv reason I really like, it's got a chic black basemap with grey borders that pop, and the proportional symbols use cool colors with transparency. /2

    Look out cartography nerds! The has got a new heatmap, and it is sizzling. It tracks anti-semitic acts across the US, extremist murders, and shoot-outs. /1

    Jerome Corsi has updated his lawsuit against Robert Mueller, Jeff Bezos and many others to clarify that he's seeking only $1.3 billion in punitive damages, not the $ 1.3 trillion billion listed in his complaint.

    If Chris Williamson thinks the people rallying today are doing so because of Mike Pence or Pompeo or Rubio then he's a fool. The people in the barrios calling for Maduro to go don't need signals from America.

    Another problematic thing about Williamson: support for authoritarianism in Latin America. Yes Pence is pontificating but there’s nothing “menacing” here. Guaido’s the elected leader of the elected national assembly & a member of a party affiliated to the Socialist International.
