A map like this is why I wrote Free the Map (www.nai010.com/en/product/f...). Used in the Dutch election debate, it turns asylum seekers into thick invasion arrows. Invisiblized: how the own visa rules and pushbacks turn migration into a dangerous, deadly zigzag. Humanise cartography. Free the Map.

Strike day at UvA Amsterdam, to save Dutch higher education from blinkered nativism and anti-intellectualism. No, the minister cannot decide who gets to study what and where.

With Trump’s America slashing funding for basic research and crippling the institutions that conduct it, the Netherlands has a generational opportunity to recruit top-of-field scientists and grow its research economy. Cutting funding right now is a bizarre choice

The most striking result from yesterday’s German election #btw2025 🇩🇪:

🔹 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map.
🔹 The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East.
🔹 In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%!

Why is this happening? Here’s my take 👇
