One thing Abundance throws into sharp relief is how totally Trump has embraced scarcity: Fewer people, less trade, a broken and corrupted government.
They didn't need to make these choices. It's crap politics. But this is the future Trump wants.

Done. My £1,000 donation was doubled to £2,000 plus £250 Gift Aid too. Ever closer to our £100,000 target! This ‘double your donation’ opportunity closes in less than 24 hours. If you can give, please donate at the @BornFreeFDN tweet, linked from my post below. Thanks SO much. Wx
Urgent! I care so much about the vital work of @BornFreeFDN - the charity I co-founded with #VirginiaMcKenna and #BillTravers 41 years ago - that if at least 5 others join me, I’ll donate £1,000, using the link in the BFF Tweet below, on 27 April. Are you in? DM me to confirm!

The individualism granted by social media warrants us an immediacy, an audience and a voice previous generations have not had. Fresh forms of civic engagement that usher in a new democratic era and recognise this desire for participation would be received well.
Reinventing deliberative democracy for the digital age we exist in needs to happen before the digital age reinvents democracy for us. I wrote more about how here: open.substack.com/pub/bellal…
Important reporting on the LA wildfires. Yesterday it was also announced that 2024 average temps exceeded 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels for the 1st time (the end of what's considered a 'safe zone' for humanity). Some joined up thinking is much needed! youtube.com/watch?v=dO_53l1R…

Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin.
Brief interlude from my Twitter absence (is anyone here?) to say I’m going to be doing some writing on Substack. I’m fortunate to be meeting some very interesting people who I think have far more to teach than I do about environmental / political issues —>

NEVER EVER have I ever seen anything like this before and I have covered many many disasters. With brooms, buckets, food and water in hand, the Valencian community go and help their neighbours ♥️♥️♥️
