Soft secession. Blue states building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.

“Without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable.”
It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”
Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

I provided direct feedback during my Disney Plus cancellation that if the company and its affiliates decided to fight authoritarianism, I’d consider signing up again. Choosing where to spend (or not spend) your money is measured and noticed.
