Read the above report, and you’ll see what I mean. Russian propagandists, both foreign and domestic, are being giving free access to all our minds — it’s a David and Goliath fight, but I’m still punching up.

Looking forward to seeing many of you today for our weekly checkin for global newsies, Bette’s Happy Hour. Today, it will co-hosted by geopolitical analyst Monique Camarra, sharing news that matters.


Bette’s News, Blues, and Resistance Avenues Happy Hour

  • When: Tuesday, December 2, 11 am Pacific; 2 pm Eastern

    • Open to all levels of paid membership — registration at end of post


A note for new members: the Happy Hour began about three years ago, when I noticed many Bette members in despair. I thought a weekly wellness checkin for newsies was in order, and it evolved into a session where global guests offer news from around the world. The title was always meant to be ironic, but I know I feel better when our community comes together.

Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to those of you who are renewed your memberships and participated in our donation drive. These are not easy times to remain independent.
