Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Here’s a year-long time-line of Trump’s incitement of his fascist base, leading up to the putsch attempt. A year seems hardly enough for a man who began his presidential campaign with a racist onslaught and quickly took up the America First Nazi-lovers label; signaled his approval of the murderers in Charlottesville; and ordered his Department of Justice to downplay white supremacist terrorism.
dRumps regime started when he came down that escalator.
The presidency feels “dirtied” right now. The world now looks upon America as violent and dirty, due to a president who never should-have-been. We are hopeful that someday we might be seen as we once did; but it won’t be magical on January 21. It will take time and patience. Let’s all support our newly elected President, so someday we may be clean again.
