‘We Apologize for the Inconvenience’
As the Regime purges facts, a reminder to backup meaningful information. Plus, a meeting schedule update and Bette in the news
***Please take out a membership to support the light of truth.***
Imagine my surprise when I tried to retrieve information for a Bette member from a US State Department link embedded in one my Hot Type columns. I had linked to a fact sheet on Russian state media’s covert influence attacks, and when I clicked the link, I received this notification:
It felt like a gut punch. The link was live when I reported the story in October but now under the New Fascist Regime, facts are dangerous things, and the purge is picking up pace.
I discovered that if I do an online search with the fact sheet’s key words, I could still retrieve data from State Department archives, but for how long?
The point being, back up anything and everything that is meaningful to you.
We must prepare ourselves to fight the Regime’s unreality with verifiable facts, living in truth unfailingly.
Two quick things:
There is no community meeting today — I am using this week to finish a report I’m working on.
Look for an upcoming registration invite to our Sunday event with investigative reporter/author Craig Unger at 1:30 pm Pacific.

And tomorrow, I am scheduled to appear on The Thom Hartmann Program at 11 am Pacific to discuss the following:

Hi, Heidi. Please confirm the information below about being on The Thom Hartmann Program tomorrow 3/19/2025? It says 2p Pacific; has he changed his usual programming from 9a-12p Pacific to something different?
It was great!
