#FireChristianPorter if he won't resign. No rule of law fig leaf. His pattern of behaviour should never be acceptable - we need standards of conduct with teeth. We need an independent inquiry to give the victim her posthumous opportunity for justice #auspol #BelieveWomen

During these COVID and politically disturbing times, we've found joy in the simple pleasure of hunting wild orchids here on the Victorian Surf Coast https://t.co/JuEktjJKiK

Powerful statement by Doc Rivers tonight: "All you hear is Donald Trump & all of them talking about fear. We're the ones getting killed. We're the ones getting shot. ... It's amazing why we keep loving this country & this country does not love us back."

[Barry Newstead @Barry_Newstead]

Wow! So beautiful.

Agree. The Known World is a brilliant work. I treasure it and Edward P. Jones.

[Dolen @Dolen]

Surprising that Edward P. Jones is featured in this series on “overlooked” writers in NYT. I certainly haven’t overlooked him. He may be the greatest living American writer in my opinion. https://t.co/O8gkRxIkRR

The measure of wealth in a civilized nation is not the currency accumulated by the lucky few, but rather the strength and resonance of social relations and the bonds of reciprocity that connect all people in common purpose. https://t.co/x38chJKMdv

Important and powerful speech end to end. @RepAOC is helping to build a better country...and she is on #therightsideofhistory

[John Lewis @repjohnlewis]

Even though I was arrested, I smiled bc I was on the right side of history. Find a way to get in the way #goodtrouble

RIP C.T. Vivian. What a life and a reminder that nonviolent civil disobedience is brutally hard, but creates incredible change https://t.co/MHvM5bfN8w

[Barry Newstead @Barry_Newstead]

RIP John Lewis. What an inspiration...let’s get in the “good trouble” he did! https://t.co/55QLDJSghQ

This is an important piece of journalism we all need to watch. Thanks to Stan Grant and all involved. #BlackLivesMatterAustralia

If you missed tonight’s powerful episode of #4Corners, presented by Stan Grant - “‘I Can't Breathe’: Why George Floyd’s death tells the story of many black lives”, it’s now available here on iview:

@swan_legend you should cover this. It is an amazing Aussie success story that is completely tech enabled

One last one for DTC Twitter: we’re 100% bootstrapped, so making this donation whilst being debt-free has made it even sweeter

Interestingly, it’s been harder to get media coverage for a $5m donation than a $5m funding round, so we’d love your help amplifying this message
