Dear Heather, I know you've been working on this all day and it is past midnight where you live. Thank you for keeping at this day after day for all of us who read you religiously and thank you for weaving such convoluted happenings into the two page, single spaced document that I copy, paste and format so I can take it to bed and read it without my computer. Bless your heart! Bless your knowledge! Bless your commitments! I'm always happy too when you take a night off.

Yes! This is huge because she has such a large audience. A terrific public service

Can you imagine when she (if) suggests how we might mobilize if (god forbid) we had to?!

I've had trouble keeping track of HCR's lectures on Facebook. Is there a set time?

I know once she was back teaching her schedule changed...

thanks

I usually watch it later instead of live. Heather is always there for us!

Thank God! Can you imagine where we would be without her?! I'm so grateful for her and her knowledge and wisdom. I'm sure I would be inconsolable and so depressed... more than I am....

She will usually post a couple hours beforehand. I also go watch after the fact, since I seem to have a battery of responsibilities at the times she gives them live.

Sometimes I get confused, there are several pages with her name on them. Can you please tell me what the 'name' her lectures are on...?

Thanks!

It used to be set but since she has gone back to teaching, the book and her new marriage to Buddy it has been impossible. Currently she tries to keep us informed. Last night while she was in NYC....she gave the chat at 5pm. However, you can always see the video as soon as she is finished. I found it last night on her Facebook page. It was great! I hope you can pull it up!

Thanks! As soon as my husband is 'off the clock' we're going to watch it!

I just see the announcement on face book after she has gone live. I usually watch the recording. I try not to visit her FB page. I find very few FB political sites a safe space. Been blocking too many trolls and bots on HCRs, so I usually just watch her recording after it is up and posted.

I understand what you mean about FB, but for me HCR is worth the risk.

My most educational political site on FB is Jesse Kumin's Best Democracy site. He does a lot to educate people on things few know about, such as proportional representation and how democracy gets subverted in single member districts and gerrymandering is so effective at stifling democracy when there are only two cartel parties. That's more a numeracy awareness thing than a party critique. People on that site are there to share and learn, and it's non-partisan. It's also well monitored too, so partisan trolls trying to divide people and get them fighting don't last long.

If Heather didn't have this email site, I might go on FB for it for a while, but I ended up leaving Bernie Sanders' sites when they got trolled by partisan stooges. Life's too short to waste time with sites polluted by them. I find this email site the higher quality of the two as result of the people who frequent it.

Thank you for that.

me too!

There used to be set times, but that's variable now that she's back to teaching.

Expand full comment

Me too but I think it is still on Tuesday afternoons.

Expand full comment

Thank you! And does she still do the Thursday lecture?

Expand full comment

She does those live hour-long Facebook segments twice a week.

Plus her Tuesday podcasts with Joanne Freeman: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/now-then/id1567665859

Plus she just finished her latest book.

Plus she just resumed teaching after her sabbatical last year.
