***Registration link for ‘Bette’s Happy Hour’ is located below the paywall — if you’d like to join our global pro-democracy community at half-off for the first year there’s a few hours left of the Indictment Week #4 Special! And to our members, please invite allies to join — we are making a difference. Paid members receive invites to our ‘Speakeasy’ zoom salons, access to all archives, including podcasts, and the American Monsters series. Upgrade or join at the Founding Member rate for a special monthly invite!***
Wow. We just finished our first ever Founder’s Day event, with honored guest Keir Giles, author of ‘Russia’s War On Everybody’ and I am filled with so much hope. I will be writing more about the event this week, but I wanted to offer this gem — if there are people in your life being fed disinformation — don’t battle the false narratives one by one — find the root sources, and try to move them away from those sources — there are likely multiple influences coordinating. Whether its social media, garbage news stations, whatever the cause, try to get them in front of different sources. Bette member Jen Senko and her mom emerged victorious when they applied that tactic, as revealed in her film — The Brainwashing of My Dad.
Bette members: please register for Tuesday’s Happy Hour and do note, when news breaks, our Happy Hours often become informative sessions, as occurred last week, when the Fulton County charges came down, and Martin Sheil jumped in to enlighten our community. Thanks Marty!
Looking forward to seeing many of you in the squares, and just a reminder, each week we alternate the time so as many people from around the world can checkin. Our Happy Hour time for this week is 5 pm PT, which is 8 pm New York time.
Although the Happy Hour was inspired as a wellness check, where we each offer suggestions of how we stay well during trouble times, it’s okay that we also chat about breakers and fears. That’s part of how of we do this as a community — empathy, listening, sharing.
Signing off from stormy, earthquakey, hurricaney Southern California, as I patiently await the locusts.
I’m glad you are here.
