Forest ecologist in the PNW. I hug trees, with a diameter tape! Love to ramble in forests and mountains and make lame attempts to photograph them.

Trump on Zelenskyy in Dublin
“Zelenskyy has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia.He’s causing a shortage of diesel.”
Trump is Putin‘s whore. He will go down in history as a traitor.
Don’t believe that, then ask yourself ‘what would a Russian asset do differently?’

Trump officials propose sweeping changes to the census that would reshape voting maps
A Trump census proposal would stop asking about race and exclude millions of U.S. residents from a count that the 14th Amendment says must include the "whole number of persons in each state."

Trump desperately wants to declare an end to at least one war before the mid-terms, so he's trying in Ukraine. Expect any treaty there to be just as fleeting as with Iran.
