Did you hear Donald Trump say: “Right now, a number of state laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change.” Cray cray right? And yes, he really did say it. In Missouri, if you’re pregnant you can’t get divorced – women’s rights are really progressing over there – not to mention we had the whole IVF debacle which is sending people into a tail spin; and of course, adding to the “what will he do next” campaign, Donald Trump launched his gold sneakers, which comes with a whole host of further craziness.
Beyond America: research has shown that every single placenta tested in a research study had microplastics in it: the situation in Ukraine is horrendous and we now know 31,000 troops have been killed while the US continues to dither on proving support; Mexico, one of the world’s most populous cities, could run out of water within months; and billionaires are not only building bunkers to escape when it all collapses, but now they’re adding flammable moats to keep the rest of us out.
No wonder everyone is a bit strung-out at the moment. Everywhere you look, something crazy is going on. How do we calm everything down and come back together?

The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today.
The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history. Join us.
