Gee, maybe, do ya think, this is all in preparation for Trump's national emergency and cancellation of elections. ICE, vicious as it is, is not big enough so Trump and Hegseth will need the armed forces. Hmmm. Could be. This is the purge that all dictators do. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/u...

Please take a look at my new Substack post. It is politics so feel free to ignore it. I'll get back to science soon. Still recovering from the latest headlines. Subscribing would be great. Comments even better. Thanks. dlkmd.substack.com/p/the-iceman...

The ICEman Cometh

Trump takes off the gloves--ICE puts them on

dlkmd.substack.com

The Nazis called it Entartete Kunst, Degenerate Art. Trump calls it Woke. Language folks, language. He can play with it and make up new bullshit but we should call him and his thuggish sycophants what they are : Fascist Pigs destroying our nation. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/a...

Trump Officials Propose Sale of ‘Woke’ Painting by Kehinde Wiley

The State Department recently removed the painting of Dominicans from a U.S. embassy, noting it was by the artist who made Barack Obama’s presidential portrait.

You know what. Maybe this asshole is actually a Russian or Chinese asset. If he's not, they should reach out and hire him. He and Trump have turned our 1.5 TRILLION/yr Defense Dept into a global joke. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/u...

The Most Dangerous Feds You’ve Never Heard Of

ICE has its own FBI, but dumber

This one speaks for itself. Trump clearly believes he will be dead before his climate denying, pollution denying policies finish off the earth, so why should he care. But he will have his Ballroom bunker to hide out in, so no big deal.

Are you fucking kidding me? What can the Dems be thinking? They seem to live in la la land and never learn anything about Trump and his band of thugs. And they actually act as if they can believe anything he says. Jeffries has lost it and lives in an alternative reality. From the NY Times:

Feels like a total waste of time to be making my posts about Trump, citing articles from the Times. Maybe this makes more sense for those of you interested in learning more.

This one's great. There at least three major articles in today's Times on global heat and climate change and storms. Trump's response: kill the messenger whenever possible. Meanwhile we sweat or worse, run out of water, the icebergs melt, but hey Trump knows best. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/10/c...

At Vindara Health, we’re on a mission to change that. Last month, we launched our specialist telehealth clinic built specifically for the complex illness community.

For years I have dreamed of a way to expand access to care for people with complex chronic illnesses like Long Covid, ME/CFS, POTS, MCAS, reactivated infections. That dream has come true: Vindara Health is live and seeing patients.

For too long, people with Long COVID and ME/CFS have struggled to find clinicians who understand their conditions. Many sacrifice precious energy travelling to appointments only to find limited expertise, while others are left trying to manage incredibly complex illnesses on their own.
