Direct connection between reporting on US plans for military strikes in Latin American countries & Rubio’s attack on the ICC: - Many countries in the region are ICC States Parties - The ICC has jurisdiction over war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide perpetrated on State Party territory
Removing automated speed cameras has perhaps been Doug Ford's most "successful" act as Premier. Ford wanted drivers to be able to speed dangerously (especially through school zones) without being ticketed, and the data is crystal clear that he achieved that goal! Promises made, promises kept!
A story of cause and effect: Last November, Ontario banned cities from using speed safety cameras to issue tickets. Reckless speeding immediately surged in Toronto, Ottawa, Guelph, and cities throughout the province. A 🧵 about my latest in Bloomberg (gift link)
It may not be surprising, but it's nevertheless sad to see a Canadian newspaper trumpet Washington's call to demolish the #ICC, and siding with impunity for Putin, Netanyahu, and the Taliban. This is now part of the right's firmament, along with anti-trans politics and Residential School denialism.
Ah. See, the issue is that in fact you're one of the worst humans ever to live.
Great exhibit of how toxic masculinity is bad for men too. How does it help him to be this angry about random (and possibly imaginary) people who recall his appearance 19 years ago in one of his many popular films?

If you give your kid a device and crank it to loud on the TTC, you deserve every bit of stink eye sent in your direction.
If your grandpa kept sending you these as texts, you'd have an emergency family meeting.
Good to know after a tough weekend on the golf course the president is back at work laser focused on improving the lives of Americans by resuming his deranged AI marathon.

The NDP stands in solidarity with WestJet workers on strike, fighting to end unpaid work. Join us in calling on the federal government to respect these workers' right to strike!
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
RFK Jr is one of those totally unrealistic cartoon villains who’s too obviously monstrous to be believable. Except, somehow, he actually exists.
