"One If By Land, Two If By DC"

By Hubie and Bertie

The spirit of resistance might be still alive and well in America. Organizers said that more than four million people turned out for yesterday's 50501 protests against King George III oops, Benedict Donald and his odious, anti-democratic administration. Hundreds of folks even showed up in cute little Saratoga Springs for an anti-Trump Honk n' Wave — despite the rain. Good work, everyone! Keep it up.

The prize for protest, though, might go to Silence Dogood, an organization of artists that takes its name from a pseudonym Benjamin Franklin used in the run-up to the American Revolution. Observing the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride, the group projected pro-democracy and anti-Trump messages onto historic Boston buildings. They particularly targeted Trump's so-called "border czar," who threatened to "bring hell" to Boston, a sanctuary city for immigrants.

This is all excellent. And it's just dawned on us that July 4, 2026, is going to be, as they say, lit. We cats PURR.
