The legal observation of Patriots Day -- commemorating American colonists' rejection of British rule at skirmishes at Lexington and Concord, Mass. -- isn't until Monday. But folks protesting Donald Trump's assault on our freedoms and Constitution were out in force Saturday on Martha's Vineyard.
Islanders seem just as allergic to kings now as they were then.That would refer to laws they made themselves through a democratic process, not some edict (like the Stamp Act) from a distant king and his parliament.
There are still feisty folks on this island outpost.
