Dear @washingtonpost.com: Three of the US's aircraft carriers have their home port within 12 miles of the border with #Mexico (in #SanDiego). Entering "waters near #LatinAmerica" is not the story here. Did you mean #SouthAmerica?

When @theipaper.com‬ blatantly plagiarized our #Israel/#Palestine control map (they apparently redrew it, but directly copied and pasted the notes and legend from ours).

It's been almost a year without any response from them regarding our complaints. #plagiarism #journalism #graphics #cartography

In interesting show of restraint, #USA president's order to change "#GulfOfMexico" to "#GulfOfAmerica" on govt maps seems to specify that only the part under US jurisdiction is being renamed. (link in comment)

(1/3) When sharing our #Syria control maps with people who follow the war in extreme detail online, we often get criticisms that we used the *wrong* colors - that is, we didn't follow the color scheme that later war geeks converged on in the years after we began our coverage...

#Syria: In stunning end to years of frozen conflict, religious hardline rebel group has overrun much of #Aleppo, country's 2nd biggest city. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

2023 map attached, but this is first significant change to rebel control in Syria since 2020.
