Happy New Year. I don't give a shit about the 250th anniversary of the US this year but I'm glad 1930 works that fucking Nazis banned are now public domain. Please enjoy Betty Boop, The Blue Angel with antifa icon Marlene Dietrich, Nancy Drew's first books, Miss Marple's first novel.

The US is preparing sanctions against the ICC which indicted Putin and Netanyahu, potentially cutting it off from US banking, technology and services. The US already sanctioned 13 ICC officials and vowed to dismantle the war crimes court “brick by brick.”
