U.S. employers announced plans to cut 172k jobs in February.
Trump's massive federal layoffs and uncertainty around his economic policies helped contribute to the biggest monthly total of planned job cuts since the Great Recession.

I spent last week in Taipei with hundreds of human rights organizations, many of which had been impacted by the US aid freeze. While we were there, news came down that even more grants had been canceled, some of which were then reinstated. "Total chaos." @wired.com

Scary, unsettling times on this world. Meanwhile, 5,000 light years away, this beautiful giant cloud, the Dolphin Nebula, glows, blown by hot winds from a massive star. About 60 light years across, it covers an area about the size of a full moon in our skies. 🧪

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.

Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment.
