Voters deserve the same protections.
I’ll keep pushing to #stopthelies in political advertising. Voters from all sides of politics support this - the only thing holding up this reform is the major parties!

I have been on a journey of being deliberate about the media I consume since about 2019. It has been a constant battle, especially as an ADHDer, but I promise you it is worth it. You will get to know yourself again.
