Democrats—please get off?TikTok! "Choose your fighter" videos are, at best, untimely, and, at worst, cringe. As the Trump administration dismantles public institutions, we want serious leadership and a continued positive discourse on Liberal values. For reference, here's a snapshot of a masterclass in Liberal values that?Mark Carney, the Canadian PM-elect, gave us recently. "When the markets are governed well they deliver great jobs and stronger growth faster than anything." "But markets are also indifferent to human suffering and they are blind to our greatest needs so when they're not governed well or not at all they will deliver enormous wealth for the lucky few and hard times for the rest." "You know I do care about the economy but it's not because I'm an economist—it's because I care about people." "That's why I'm a Liberal." "That’s why we are Liberals." ??When Liberal values are explained in this way, do you think being a liberal is the same as being a socialist? Why or why not? You'll find the speech linked below. ??

The MacArthur Foundation plans to increase its giving over the next two years in response to the "crisis" brought on by the Trump administration's freeze on federal foreign aid and the now-suspended freeze on federal grants, and it's urging other grant makers to do the same. https://lnkd.in/eAAU7DgP

Tech is changing the nonprofit world. Here are 6 trends you can't ignore: 1?? Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning AI and ML are reshaping nonprofit operations by helping these organizations analyze data, automate repetitive tasks, spot patterns in donor behavior, and even predict future trends. ?? 2?? Blockchain Distributed ledgers enhance financial transparency and reduce donation processing costs. Here’s how some major nonprofits have integrated blockchain technology: ?? The World Food Programme allowed refugees to redeem cash-for-food assistance through it. ?? Save the Children International has been accepting Bitcoin donations. ?? UNICEF supports the development of blockchain apps that put transparency first. 3?? Cybersecurity and data privacy Nonprofits are now adopting cybersecurity to comply with privacy regulations and build trust among their supporters and stakeholders. ??? They're implementing comprehensive data protection strategies, and updating security protocols to safeguard against possible breaches. 4?? Cloud-based collaboration It's easier than ever for nonprofits to work seamlessly across the globe. ?? Cloud-based collaboration tools facilitate project management and engagement with global communities, improving access to data and scalability, all while lowering costs. 5?? Social media and digital storytelling Nonprofits have grasped the potential of social media when it comes to sharing their missions and engaging their followers. This enables them to reach broader audiences, grow awareness, and drive donations. 6?? Data analytics and visualization AI's support is precious when it comes to data analytics and visualization. These are fundamental for nonprofits to track their metrics and make informed decisions. ?? ?? Did any of these trends take you by surprise?

We deserve better than what’s being served.... There was a time, not in the distant past, when social media primarily existed to foster genuine connections. A place where family, relatives, colleagues, and friends could be appreciated and memories shared. Over time Social media turned into a mouthpiece of the famous. Where the influencer out shouted everyone else. To compete against this onslaught, the masses also changed to become like influencers, instead of showing contrast and countering with authenticity. Nowadays content is written merely, to attract followers or worse is synthesized with AI with no regard to authenticity. With algorithms in charge, we see what the systems or platforms want us to see. An echo chamber effect forced onto us. This needs to change. I want : - A platform for sharing from a place of knowing. - A platform that fosters genuine human connections. - A platform where algorithms don’t define who gets to read what.? - A place to inform and uplift not to deceive to sell. And most importantly, a platform that is not owned by a Billionaire who is determined on destroying the very fabric of society. All for more power and influence. I want, nay demand, a social media devoid of special interests. #democracy #socialmedia #oligarchy
