chuffed.org/project/supp... Most of the brave people who protested at the world's largest coal port last November face court next month for upgraded, serious charges with dire penalties (prison, huge fines). Please donate if you can afford it, to help cover their legal costs and fines.

Forrest says if Fortescue can stop burning fossil fuels by 2030, the rest of the world should follow by 2040, even if detractors call it woke. And he hints at #hydrogen breakthrough

🥹 shed a tear for @LiberalAus' "astroturf" (fake grassroots) "australians for prosperity" which cries about being 'bullied'. these actual bullies have received $725k+ from the #coal lobby. so we're helping the 🎯 pro-climate action MPs counter this coal industry campaign… 🧵
