The apparent election victory of Donald Trump, has consequences for the world, that I'm sure, very few people, have ever thought of. The world has just been sent, in an incredibly dangerous direction. 1/🧵

Our fire fighters don’t need thoughts & prayers - they need funds. Our scientists don’t need thoughts & prayers - they need trust. Our climate doesn’t need thoughts & prayers - it needs action & policy. Our nation doesn’t need thoughts & prayers - it needs leadership.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been so directly and horribly impacted by these fires.

And so it has happened: the national security measures we were told were necessary to protect Australians against terrorists and paedophiles are now going to be deployed against – you guessed it – climate activists – at Sydney, New South Wales

Wow! Worth watching this. China's largest video platform #Tencentvideo (97M paying China subscribers) will begin inserting extra ads into movies/series that didn't exist in the original. #computervision

This #ClimateStrike photo is incredible. We know that people power makes a massive difference to the reality of decarbonisation - which needs bigger, louder, broader public pressure. But this is way bigger than I expected. #schoolstrike4climate

Koala has cut ties with Alan Jones. We’re a significant buyer in the medium, and it’s something we should have done earlier. Climate change is real, violence against women starts with words and the bloke has had too many chances. @2GB873 time to wake up.

Very disappointing to see @Coles give away thicker plastic bags free. We need the community to understand why plastic is bad for the environment, clogging our river ways, killing our marine life and making it into our food chain. Coles needs to do better. #zerowaste #PlasticBan

Just checked the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. What on earth do they do to justify a $444 million grant from the Australian Government? No tender, no checks, Board stacked with LNP links, captains of fossil fuel industries. What the fuck is going on? #auspol

It is mind blowing to think about the size of the platform you're granted if you violently racially abuse someone, vs how insanely hard you have to work to get anywhere near a TV studio if you have brown skin. xitter.cf/ACurrentAffair9/status…

Anyone demanding that a survey is only distributed via a single technology specifically wants a skewed result. There's no mystery to this.
