Real paper, too!
... Each poster is printed on thick, Japanese-made matte art paper—they feel substantial in your hands and do not glare under bright lights. Posters are rolled in protective tissue and shipped in a triangular carton, which means they arrive ready to gift. visionarypress.com/pages/maps-f...

Haven’t looked yet but this seems like it would be a great adjunct to Open Mapping for teaching #geography
Almost anything can be treated as a map. Projections, charts, and diagrams are all ways of flattening the world so we can understand.

But the real magic happens when we enjoy those maps together. MAPS FOR KIDS is here! Let's meet our three maps: visionarypress.com/pages/maps-f...

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
