Bette’s Calendar at a glance — note new date for Nancy MacLean:
Tuesday, Dec. 24, 9 am PT — Bette’s Christmas Eve Happy Hour with special guests
Sunday, Jan. 12, 4 pm PT — Author Dr. Nancy MacLean joins Bette’s Speakeasy to discuss US Resistance efforts and her updated version of Democracy In Chains.
Each event is open to all levels of membership. To join our Founder’s Day events, please upgrade your subscription to Founding Member — you can choose any amount above a full annual membership.
I am looking so forward to seeing Bette members tomorrow at our weekly Happy Hour — note earlier time: 9 am Pacific, noon Eastern. Just a quick check-in with special guests to wish everyone a beautiful holiday.
As I wrote last week, there is love among these ruins. We just need to know where to look.
One place we find the love is when we come together in a community. I have been meeting with so many allies in real life, ready to face down what is coming our way — we do not accept a fascist America, and as Nancy MacLean taught us, we must be ready for the criminals when they overstep and abuse their power.
Collectively, we are always stronger than we think. I made the commitment in 2024 to spend more time reading books, and less time on anti-social media and it has served me well. I will compile an ebook version of my reports from the Weimar years asap.
As Marci Shore taught us, history does not tell us what we will happen, it only offers suggestions.
Here are two recent Hot Type excerpts I hope you find helpful:
Knowing that Elon Musk is just Moldova’s version of Ilan Shor — convicted fraudster, now residing in Moscow — is super helpful to me.
****New members: you will find registration links for community events by scrolling all the way to the bottom below the paywall. I often update our community with information and event details on these invitations, but if you just want to register, always simply scroll to the very bottom of post.
Look forward to see many of you on Tuesday and for those who will be busy elfin’ around, hope you experience much love and joy this season.
I believe it’s civic duty to love and love and love.
In solidarity, reality, truth, and unity,
Heidi xo
