Fascist regimes thrive on propaganda, fear, and the erosion of critical thought. By reclaiming the narrative through verified information and public discourse, societies can resist normalization of authoritarian control and preserve civic freedoms.

The Trump Administration is actively covering up Russian war crimes...and trying to help Russians get away with them. Stop and ponder that a minute. Perhaps it is not surprising from a president who has made obstruction of justice an art form. But it is gut-wrenchingly awful nonetheless.
