You know what freedom is Melbourne protestors? Not being on a ventilator. Being able to breathe. Not losing family members or your own miserable selfish lives to a once in a hundred years pandemic. 200,000 Americans dead. Cause their President LIED to get re elected! Not Victoria

In the "New Teacher Challenge," parents tape themselves showing their children an image of their new teacher.

But this viral prank mocks people like @melissablake, a disability activist who was born with a rare genetic bone and muscular disorder. https://t.co/1Hb6bCU0gP

The inquest heard that every authority Olga Edwards should have been able to trust to protect her - the Family Court, the Hornsby police, and ultimately, the Firearms Registry - failed her. https://t.co/GE2epyJYgO

BBC News - Sir David Attenborough makes a stark warning about species extinction.

'His final line packs a powerful punch: "What happens next", says Sir David, "is up to every one of us."'

I review Marian Wilkinson's new book 'The Carbon Club' for the Herald/Age. It's a forensically researched account of how the clever country found climate policy too hard and collapsed into being laggard and sceptic https://t.co/jr1sPlo0yy

The planet is showing signs it’s in peril. Recently, the world has seen ferocious wildfires in the U.S., torrential rains in Africa, weirdly warm temperatures on the surface of tropical oceans and record heat waves from California to the Siberian Arctic https://t.co/YfTHPuXE1b

[Edgar McGregor @edgarrmcgregor]

How bad are the California wildfires?

More acres have burned in the last 29 days than did during our two worst wildfire seasons on record, 2008 and 2018.... COMBINED.

Unfathomable. Unmanageable. Climate-induced.

And this is also terrifying! Without AAP & with only a News Corp owned wire service, wither a free press? https://t.co/xOpSo4kUNG

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has just granted Adani a temporary injunction stopping me doing and saying specific things in relation to the Carmichael coal mine and rail project. This follows two failed applications to intimidate my family by raiding our home. [#StopAdani thread]

More than 90% of the otters in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands are gone. Their disappearance means the rest of the local food web has started to crumble — a process that’s been accelerated and compounded by climate change.

Picked up Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year. 1665 London. I’d forgotten it was on the shelf. It’s all there. The poor get it worst. Official denial. Epidemic curve. Proven excess mortality. Underreporting. Social distancing, curfews and the best and worst of human responses.

None of this is normal, and confronting climate change is on the ballot this year.

Vote, as early as you can, for a habitable planet.
