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.
