The First Amendment protects speech—not the unchecked power to deceive. The repeal of the Fairness Doctrine opened the gates to a media empire built on outrage, distortion, and division. To restore democratic reality, we must rebuild the standards that once held truth accountable. rebrand.ly/337dc4

The Constitution begins with “We the People,” but assumes we’ll know what that means. Civic education is not a favor. It’s how liberty renews itself—or collapses. rebrand.ly/b9e9b1
