Weekend Reading - Updated!

From Jim Stewartson - "The 'Know. Name. Disrupt' (KND) method is largely based on my personal experience as a journalist and activist trying to disrupt QAnon, which uses techniques I helped pioneer for digital entertainment two decades ago, but added an entirely new psychological attachment infrastructure—which I have now studied, and battled, for five years." (Also check out his "The Rupture Has Arrived - Seven Signs We are No Longer A Democracy.")

From Sarah Kendzior - "Imagination is nothing to take for granted. It is one of the main qualities that fascist regimes attempt to outlaw. But they do not need to outlaw what is surrendered."

From Indivisible - "Our shared future depends on everyday Americans choosing to fight back. We believe each of us has a role to play — in blue states, red states, and political battlegrounds across America. We believe MAGA will seek to divide and conquer us, isolating us one by one in an attempt to fracture our resolve. We believe standing together, Indivisible, is the only way to protect our families, our neighbors, and our democracy. And we believe that we will win."

From Substack author "Sarah Connor" - James Hansen's Latest Warning. The 1.5°C Paris target? “Deader than a doornail,” Hansen says. Even 2°C is wishful thinking without radical action. The worst and most probable case is that we keep going as we are, triggering total collapse. But the message in plain terms? We are running out of time faster than we think, because the danger was underestimated from the start."

From the Substack Weaponized Spaces by Caroline Orr Bueno - "A sophisticated strategy is playing out in plain sight that few outside of digital war rooms truly understand or even notice. It doesn't require hacking servers or bribing tech executives. It doesn't even break any rules. It simply requires understanding exactly how algorithms work — and turning them into accomplices."

More coming.
