About, eh? Ok... Old, tired sysadmin. Gay. Ordained minister (hit that "pray the gay away" thing _hard_ as a youngling - doesn't work.) Opinionated leftie. Occasionally (ha!) surly. May bite.
Quick heads-up, kids. Handle & username change. This aligns my profile with other SM accounts, and makes me just a wee bit harder to dox.

The Trump administration, Kristi Noem asserted, was fully committed to ensuring that laws are enforced evenhandedly.
But it quickly became clear that wasn’t true.

Kristi Noem claims Trump is enforcing the law equally. That’s obviously false.
The administration supports federal law enforcement only when it's convenient for the president.

This is what their ad says: "Tell Congress to stop arming Israel's genocide in Gaza now! As a Quaker organization, we work for peace. Join us. Tell the President and Congress to stop the killing and starvation in Gaza.”
The Times said "genocide" was too contentious and suggested they call it a war.

We’ve canceled planned advertising with The New York Times after it refused to allow an ad referring to Israel’s genocide in #Gaza.
Joyce Ajlouny, AFSC's General Secretary, called the refusal “an outrageous attempt to sidestep the truth.” afsc.org/newsroom/new...
