My venture, A.N.T. Farms, develops practices in “conservation agriculture”—sustainable food production that doesn’t require forests to be razed or wetlands drained. I’ve worked in communications; media; tech, data & LLM analysis; and spent 15 yrs in DC.

There is a history of military service, officer service, in my family. I don't think any of my people would choose to serve in a military that can't be distinguished from something akin to the Janjeweed. Either the U.S. is better, or it's not. Perhaps "not" is where we are today. We're being shamed.
