In a vibrant, retro-futuristic cartoon style, a friendly middle-aged man with short sandy hair and glasses stands heroically in the center, wearing a pink gingham shirt and a blue lanyard. He holds a glowing orange RSS feed torch high, leading a diverse group of community members holding their own digital panels. In the background, giant "ALGORITHM" robots spew dark social media icons, while floating screens display Mastodon, Bluesky, and RSS logos. The scene is set in a neon space-age city with flying cars and "OPEN WEB" banners under a glowing title that reads, "RECLAIMING OUR NEWS FEEDS."

A hand-drawn infographic titled "SOFT SECESSION" depicts a central castle labeled "SURVIVAL STRATEGY" linked to three primary pillars of action. To the left, "STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL" focuses on investigation, prosecution, and accountability. To the right, "ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE" emphasizes public banks, services, and healthcare safety nets. At the bottom, "INTERSTATE COMPACTS"β€”illustrated by a handshake in front of a bridgeβ€”details the coordination of resources and the enforcement of rights.

I co-authored an article for the January 2026 issue of the Indivisible Charlotte newsletter, "Building a Fortress for Democracy: Why We Need "Soft Secession." It's about Chris Armitage's ideas he shared in his podcast interview with Indivisible CLT.

A four-panel comic titled "Resistance Playbook: Inspired by Minnesota & Maine" illustrates strategies for community action. The top-left panel features a man in a safety vest emphasizing "Safety First!" and "De-escalate." The top-right shows a woman holding a phone and camera with the advice "Document, Don't Obstruct." The bottom-left panel displays a diverse crowd behind a banner labeled "High-Participation," while the bottom-right panel depicts a priest and a lawyer shaking hands under the labels "Broad Coalitions" and "Faith & Legal Front-Edge."
