Just a reminder that former vice president Aaron Burr was arrested and indicted for treason in 1807 for betraying American interests to foreign powers for personal gain. This was after he stood in the middle of 5th Avenue (Weehawken, NJ) and shot somebody (Alexander Hamilton).

1/15 Hi! Don't laugh, but I'm back in the SHU. They let me out Sunday night, and Monday afternoon they locked me up again, making no secret of the fact that I won't be getting out of this hole again. I finally know what I'm in jail for though! In this regard, a little statement.

The combined profits of the largest energy companies in the first quarter of this year are close to $100 billion. This grotesque greed of the fossil fuel industry and their financiers is punishing the poorest and most vulnerable people, while destroying our only home.

“For 1.5 degrees we’d have to cut emissions by 75% by 2030, not 26-28% or 43 or 50%. And we’d have to be net zero by 2035.” - Alan Kohler

Woke up this morning to find that the new prime minister of Australia had quoted my lyrics in his first press conference: “Just because you’re going forwards, doesn’t mean I’m going backwards”. Here’s my response to that welcome news.

You should read this. It graphically demonstrates the bias of the Murdoch media; prepared to bully volunteers because independents threaten their favourite coalition MPs. Support climate change. Express sympathy for Palestinians. They’ll come after you.

Hey @ScottMorrisonMP you seem surprised by the catastrophic flooding events. Can this be because you have been ignoring the warnings about climate change impacts? Here's a dozen or so expert warnings about increases in storms and floods that you seem to have ignored 🧵: #auspol

It’s indisputable that 🇷🇺 is using indiscriminate artillery and rocket fire against civilian targets in cities in 🇺🇦. These photos from the center of the country’s second largest city shows clearly what is happening. – at Georgetown, Washington

It's the most magical time of the year — when estimates of last year's global average temperature anomaly come out. Time to dust off my "last year was hot" auto-response.

“God’s amazing financial plan for your life”. When I first saw this image I thought no, it has to be satire. But it isn’t. I found it on the Amazon website in five seconds. This is our Prime Minister’s mentor and greatest influence.
