WWTD - What Would Tufte Do?

I know this is a work in progress, but I have 2 additional thoughts. Maybe, refer to the bars as “premium ranges”. Also, I think it would be useful to see the peak premium rather than “off the chart.”
By the way, I’m a long-time follower who really appreciates your fantastic work!!

Got it. Thanks!

I like the vertical format, but I’m confused by the $150 baseline. What’s the significance?

Definitely! Let’s use the abortion clinic escort model. I fully expect to see a gauntlet of ICE protected by national guard at polling places next year.

Hey @corporate.comcast.com,
Why are you funding the illegal demolition and desecration of The White House — the People’s House?

Text of the Shapiro for Govenor fundraising email. "almost 250 years ago, patriots in Philadelphia declared independence from a King. This weekend, thousands of people in Pennsylvania and across the country, from all walks of life, peacefully took up that fight for the fundamental freedoms this nation was built on. The American story is a work in progress — and the darkness coming out of DC right now is a testament to that. To everyone who protested peacefully in the streets: thank you for bringing the light and doing the work. I’m going to keep fighting — and I know you will too. If we’re going to defend our freedoms and our democracy, then we’ll need to harness the energy, determination, and patriotism we witnessed this weekend and channel it toward winning the very tough elections ahead of us — especially right here in Pennsylvania. If that’s a mission you’re on board with, then I am humbly asking you to pitch in $5 today to power our fight — because the next elections are the most meaningful opportunity we’ll have to defend our values and our fundamental freedoms, and winning will take every single one of us. Donate → Thank you, Josh Shapiro "

Hey Governor Shapiro @governor.pa.gov,
Not a good look to be fundraising off No Kings when you couldn’t be bothered to show up and speak at any of the dozens of protests held across the state—especially when your next election is over 2 years from now.@indivisible.org @indivisiblephl.bsky.social

Just to be clear…I was referring to the @inquirer.com front page.

Sadly, your paper has also memory-holed it from the app and it isn’t on the front page of the print edition. However, a days-old story about what lawyers think about judges gets the prime spot above the fold.

Wanted: Super-cut of famous actors reading lines from the Declaration of Independence interspersed with images of the ways Trump reenacts every grievance cited by the Founders. Tell me if it already exists. #NoKings #Indivisible

I need to know…Did the FBI at least ask for the $50k back? Did he declare the bribe as income on his taxes?

Old strategy. Now, foundations need to step up and fund alternative data collection to fill the void and document the impact. Administration can’t deny hunger if they don’t generate their own data. Don’t let this tree fall silently in the forest.

The place is called “Cracker Barrel” and the logo is a pic of a poor, rural white guy sitting next to a barrel. And, they were cool with this? They should have been protesting this insult decades ago.

If they give him the Nobel, they should make him share it with 19 others—including the leaders of LGBTQ, indigenous, women’s groups, etc. and dare him to come to Oslo to accept it.

Here’s the money quote if you’re wondering how people could vote GOP and against their self-interests:
“...the healthcare industry faces an additional basic challenge: communicating to Medicaid recipients...who never understood themselves to be receiving public funds in the first place."

Two things:
1) I hope to see undercover journalists signing up to expose ICE from the inside.
2) Need a campaign called, “Moms, don’t let your sons grow up to be ICE agents."

Done deal? Not really. In 1988, Congress passed a much less controversial, bipartisan long-term care program for seniors with bipartisan support. But, scenes like this forced them to repeal it months later. youtu.be/qre7DzEtxyc?...

#AllElectionsMatter. When Republicans control the majority they set the agenda. People will Suffer and Die because of the way the Republican majority in the House and Senate voted today as was outlined in #Project2025 and driven by DJT and his Cabinet. #IndivisiblePA @indivisiblepa.bsky.social

The Trump Admin Wants to Confuse You About What Is and Isn’t Constitutional But you don’t need to be a lawyer to know they're full of it.

The Trump administration is violating the Constitution, but understanding this theory can help fight back.

Remember when SCOTUS ruled Feds couldn’t cut a state’s #Medicaid funding if they refused to expand #Medicaid as required under the #ACA/#Obamacare? Now, it seems ok to cut Alzheimers Ds research if you don’t like a Uni’s English lit curriculum or a state’s funding if they don’t ban #trans athletes.

Vaccines against infectious diseases provide 2 benefits: 1) Protecting you & 2) Protecting people around you—especially those at high risk.

RFK jr & the anti-vaxxers refuse to acknowledge #2 because they're selfish & won’t bear the smallest inconvenience or risk to keep others healthy & alive.

@maddow.msnbc.com and Eric Holder on air tonight calling for lawyers to fight. Take a cue from Pakistan and Turkey where lawyers took to the streets to fight for the rule of law.

HOUSE SPEAKER: Don’t worry, we’re cutting the brake lines and throwing the steering wheel out the window.

Important data about how anti-mask/anti-vax sentiment led to a disproportionately higher COVID mortality in Red regions despite their having both more warning time and lower population density on their side.

When will we see the lawyers take to the streets? @marcelias.bsky.social

Shakespeare had it wrong: you don't need to kill all the lawyers, just threaten their income.

Where is their outrage? The rules they live by have changed and they don’t seem to notice or care.
