Happy birthday, Abbie Hoffman! Wherever you are causing mischief today, we hope you're celebrating by "stealing" some cake—figuratively speaking, of course. Your legendary antics and fearless activism continue to inspire rebels everywhere. Who else could turn protest into performance art and make civil disobedience look so effortlessly cool?From your iconic book "Steal This Book," which ironically became a bestseller despite its title (or perhaps because of it), to your unforgettable stunts like showering Wall Street with dollar bills—you've always known how to shake things up. Here's hoping this year brings more laughter, rebellion, and plenty of free cake!
