This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

It's no coincidence that the Department of Education removing many majors as being 'professional degrees' mostly affect fields dominated by women. Take another look at Project 2025. Women not getting federal funding for these degrees forces them out of the workforce - which is their ultimate aim.

I run @skypeascientist.bsky.social which matches scientists w/classrooms, libraries, etc for Q&As.
We match First Lego League teams too. This tends to wipe out one category of scientist bc so many teams sign up for the same category (this year, archaeologists). We're almost out of archaeologists.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
