i can tell that the Democratic Party Establishment and their Wall Street owners are getting really afraid of Bernie Sanders, because the hit pieces are starting to come out.

Keep at it, Senator Sanders. You’re not the candidate we deserve, but you’re definitely the candidate we need.

[transatlanticurbanism]

Bernie Sanders is America's guy. Wonder of Americans are aware of this...

I’m kind of loving this elegantly simple two-colour Amtrak ridership map produced for an article on Fortune.com. It certainly shows the dominance of the Northeast Corridor in terms of ridership! 

Cartographically speaking, I really like the unusual “perspective” projection, which – when combined with some lovely and subtle relief shading – certainly gives the impression of looking down from high above the continent. The labelling of the routes perhaps doesn’t quite live up to the excellence of the mapping, but this is still quality work.

(Although, apparently absolutely no one rode on the San Joaquins spur between Stockton and Sacramento.)
