The US is not a member of the ICC. But, now that you mention it, Marco, we should be. We should have been for a long time. And I hope the next US administration makes us one.

Microsoft to lay off 4,800 employees, hire 2,273 foreign job seekers on H-1B visas. “Microsoft is the sixth-largest beneficiary of H-1B visas.... ‘These companies... are abusing these immigration programs to replace American workers...,’ said Rep. Riley Moore..." www.foxnews.com/politics/fur...

The Pentagon was warned about all of the problems mentioned in this story as reported a few months ago but now it’s all the O-7’a fault who is also a coward? Definitely not a deliberate leak at all!

Oral rehydration therapy was invented by public health heroes from Bangladesh (with support from my PhD advisor Richard Cash) during a cholera epidemic in the 1970s, saving millions. We don't think much about dying from diarrhea in the US, but here we are. Cyclospora often needs antibiotics. 6/

‘We're fighting this by ourselves’: Southern Black leaders feel abandoned by Democratic Party

It would be a net positive for humanity to see the dissolution and demise of Meta. I doubt it'll happen, but we'd all be better off if it did.

Platner playing games and waiting until the Monday deadline to file the paperwork to withdraw is totally unacceptable. No reason he couldn’t file it today or tomorrow. He has shown in every conceivable way what a piece of garbage he is. Can’t even get out with any decency.

Damn.

Democrats cannot let people forget that it was the Republicans who cut their healthcare. Millions are struggling or without insurance, and as Rick says on MSNOW, the GOP is to blame.

“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

7/8 A flash poll of 785 Maine voters conducted for Graham Platner’s Senate campaign on Tuesday and leaked to POLITICO found Senator Susan Collins leading 47 to 42, with 11 percent of voters undecided. The same poll found former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson leading 49 to 44. #maine #MEpolitics

The H-1B thing has become a fixation on right-wing social media and is almost always tied to anti-Indian racism, so Vance is encouraging racism against his own wife and children here.

Patricia from #WidowsBay got an Emmy nomination! I KNOW THAT’S DAMN RIGHT!!!!!

An issue that is coming up for many mental health providers is that Aetna (through Alma, one of the platforms) has decided to only pay for 45 minutes (vs. 60 minutes) sessions. They also flatten wages. We have a petition circulating to inform and push back. actionnetwork.org/petitions/we...

Never thought we’d see a real-life re-enactment of Monty Python’s “Dead Parrot Sketch”, but here we are in 2026, with the GOP as Michael Palin and Mitch McConnell as, uh, the Norwegian Blue.

Maybe the consultants can do a better job vetting the candidates they recruit. Especially ones who came out of nowhere. Otherwise it looks like you either knowingly scammed us for a grift, you’re willfully negligent, or grossly incompetent. The consultant class sucks. A lot.

I am very sad for Mexico. Never in my life have I seen so many Angelenos out in the street for a soccer team. Green jerseys everywhere. What a beautiful sport bringing neighbors together. ❤️

Layoffs are a failure of leadership.

JUST IN: Judge Sullivan has ordered me to respond, on or before July 13th, to Todd Blanche's "I'm not turning anything over" move from last week in my lawsuit over the Epstein Files. Then, Blanche has until July 20th to reply to what I file.

Maine Democrats having an extraordinarily deep bench going into 2026 thanks to a large, term-limited legislature, then proceeding to put forth possibly the two worst people on the entire bench for Senate, is an incredible bit I have to say

America is done being divided. As one team, we’re unstoppable. Happy Fourth of July!

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Right-wing media is conflating DSA members with the broader Democratic progressive movement. Not the same thing. Actual DSA members: • Melat Kiros • Claire Valdez • Darializa Avila Chevalier • Chris Rabb  1/2

Dear Media. Vatican II wasn’t just about praying or not in Latin. *Vatican II decided to be less antisemitic. By a lot. * And now Pope Leo (like Francis) is reading the Bible HARD, all that “love immigrants” & “care for others” “🖕 Empire” stuff?! This story is not complicated.

I'm no expert, but between local 58, candle cove, broodhollow, etc., it sure seems like kris straub was a key tributary to the cultural river that produced the current moments being had by analog horror, creepypasta horror, and lovecraftian comedy. Maybe try hiring/funding him directly?
