Today’s Speakeasy with Thom Hartmann Begins In One Hour: Part of Our ‘Building Resiliency’ Series

Reminder to register for today’s ‘Speakeasy’ with special guest Thom Hartmann, who joins us for our Building Resiliency series, as we celebrate joyful days while preparing for a dark money onslaught

After spending the day finally finding the words to report on the DNC for Byline, I finished in time to celebrate the second night of Miyazaki weekend at The Ford amphitheater in the Hollywood Hills, and I can’t wait to share my reflections with you. Last night, it was Spirited Away — and indeed, my spirit feels healed by art.

And speaking of spiritual healing, I am looking so forward to a vibrant conversation with best-selling author Thom Hartmann — America’s No. 1 progressive talk show host.

Thom just got back from Chicago, and hearing his first-hand accounts of a week of joy should be, well, joyful.

Here are the details for today’s Speakeasy:

REGISTER: BUILDING RESILIENCY WITH THOM HARTMANN

As part of this joyful week, we’re bringing in Thom Hartmann today, August 25, at 2 pm Pacific for Bette’s Speakeasy to help us celebrate the infectious joy of the DNC while also preparing for the onslaught of dark money operations.

The Bette Dangerous community is building resilience together, and we will need it as we have some long days ahead of us.

And as Thom wrote in his ‘tsunami’ dark money report, which I include below:

We won’t even know the dimensions of the coming onslaught until it’s upon us in September and October.

As Senator Elizabeth Warren noted, echoing a position held by fully 72% of American voters, “Our democracy shouldn’t be bought and paid for by the wealthy and powerful.”

If Democrats survive the onslaught that’s coming and emerge victorious at the federal level, the first order of business next year must be to strip the cancer of dark money out of our body politic.
