Food banks had scheduled 94mil(!) pounds of food deliveries through a government program that buys meat, dairy, eggs and produce from American farmers and sends them to help people in need. Trump’s USDA abruptly canceled those deliveries. projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

I’d like to see a comparison of the vaccination rates in each state as well, I think that would be a great extra layer of context

Extremely powerful piece by @graphics.reuters.com about the death toll in Gaza. I appreciated how they told the story through people like Mohammed, rather than relying solely on the numbers. Great work — can't wait to see what's next! #dataviz

The lives lost in Gaza: A closer look at those killed in the conflict so far
The death toll from the war already dwarfs the numbers killed in previous bouts of fighting between Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza over many decades.

I’m working on updates the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th. I’ve spent more than 3-years and devoted hundreds of hours to this project, and there’s still more work to be done. Details on how to support this project below👇🏼

In October, Freedom House released its 2024 internet freedoms report, including the scores of five Radio Free Asia coverage areas. I charted them on an annotated bar chart to show the difference between the scores on a 0-100 scale. A map wouldn't have added anything extra, so I skipped it.
China, Myanmar and Vietnam are ranked lowest on the internet freedoms score. Cambodia is marked partly free and Taiwan is listed as Free.

I drew these for the #datafam holiday card exchange, but figured I'd share them for others to use too! Put them on your cards, gift tags, or anywhere that needs a little more #dataviz 📊

A report published by Yale University in August found Uyghurs imprisoned in China have been sentenced to a cumulative 4.4 million years. I analyzed data from the report to produce two infographics showing incarceration rates and the severity of sentences. #dataviz www.rfa.org/english/news...

This artist made a quilt mapping the distance people travel for abortion access. Having worked on this map multiple times since 2021, it's absolutely jaw-dropping to see it in my favorite medium. The work that went into this. Amazing work, @peach-and-honey!! www.reddit.com/r/quilting/c...

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day by 2030, new research shows "The fact that the Arctic sea ice cover has changed so significantly that [its loss in] 2030 is even a remote possibility shows how much change there has already been in the Arctic environment” on.ft.com/3DgyKJK
