Job growth has been uneven since Trump's reelection. The Sun Belt has continued to boom while the DC area has been hit hard by DOGE cuts. The industrial (and agricultural) Midwest is also struggling from the fallout from tariffs and the Iran War.

The low overall unemployment rate of 4.2% doesn't tell the full story. Black unemployment is now at 6.6% (up from 6.2% when Trump took office). The rate has declined from its 8.2% high last fall — but only because nearly a million Black workers left the labor force.

Ironically, most job creation since Trump's re-election has gone to women, who've gained 1.6 million jobs. Men, by contrast, have lost nearly 500,000.

Since President Trump's re-election, the vast majority of job growth has been in health care and education. Despite promises to re-shore industry through tariffs, over 100,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost.

Labor force participation has fallen to 61.5% — the lowest since 2021, erasing the entire post-pandemic recovery. Since Trump's inauguration, over a million people have left the job market — which explains part of the reason the unemployment rate dropped last month.

Worries about visas, academic freedom and safety are making foreign schools, like Sciences Po in Paris, more attractive to some students in the U.S. than the Ivy League. www.highereddive.com/news/the-sta...

Trump narcissist and tyrant. Very Happy Democrat here, you kow? Happy to live in a free country, Portugal, in spite of the drug addicted clown in the WH... whose paranoia is keeping him up all night,disseminating baseless and undemocratic statements.

We, the generation of the 60s, 70s, 80s have memories. So we must say and show the right path to our young generation. Having witnessed the turbulent shifts of history, we carry a unique responsibility to pass down the truth about where authoritarianism inevitably lead.

Great song!

You can clearly hear the two Eurasian scops owls (Otus scops) calling back and forth in a classic territorial or mating "sing-off." One owl is vocalizing right in front of the lens, while its rival replies from a slight distance.And the funniest thing is that they spend whole nights doing this...

Global spending on nuclear weapons reached a staggering 119 billion dollars last year. And over the past 5 years, it's $471 billion! Imagine what the world would look like if that money had been spent on something other than weapons of mass destruction. bit.ly/4vPa6pP

Love it. This movie should actually be made. You missed out on @secrubio.govpeeps.us he was mentioned in the files as well. Put the Pedophile on there as well.

For me, one of the hightlights of spring migration in Portugal! As most of the migratory birds, it is way more common during fall migration. Now, they arrive in their breeding plumage! Whinchat (male) Cartaxo-nortenho (Saxicola rubetra)
