Many of you have asked if, now that Trump has been defeated, will I stop stitching the Flags of Resistance? The answer is, not yet.

Therefore, my daily resistance project will evolve, though I do not yet know what form it will take, as we move into a future that is at once more optimistic and yet continues to be fraught with danger and serious, even existential, challenges including systemic racism, epic political polarization, climate change, and a global pandemic, to name just a few.
Stay tuned.
