Throw the Hoagie. Be the Frog.
No Kings. Oct 18 2025. Our protests have taken many forms, in this screen capture are two that will go into history as emblematic of our time. The first is a man throwing a hoagie sandwich. The other is the Portland Frog standing down masked anti-american forces at the Portland ICE facility.

In a garden

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
the song of the birds for mirth.
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden
than anywhere else on Earth.
