‘Being Braver Than We Want To Be’: My Latest ‘Hot Type’ Column in Byline

My weekly Hot Type column in Byline Supplement delves deeper into Václav Havel’s The Power of the Powerless to inspire all of us to be brave. Please share it with your networks.

***Please take out a membership to support the light of truth.***

In today’s Hot Type column for Byline Supplement, I continued my exploration of Václav Havel’s profoundly important series of dissident essays from 1978, The Power of the Powerless:

Hot Type: Being Braver Than We Want to Be

Please go to Byline Supplement to read the column in full. This week’s Hot Type column has no paywall.

As always, thank you to everyone who supports my work here and at Byline. I believe the work of independent investigative reporters exposing the transnational crime wave has revealed the failing of corporate media in stark contrast.

Reading the column again today, I felt hot tears well up. We are going to have to be braver than we want to be, each of us who are dedicated to living within the truth.

I am so grateful to my friends who continue to do the work of truth-telling during an era of lying brutality.

I would be very grateful if you shared the column with your networks. Byline is independent and every share, like, and subscribe helps enormously.

In solidarity, truth, reality, and unity,
