“Lincoln saw clearly that if we give up the principle of equality before the law, we have given up the whole game. We have admitted the principle that people are unequal and that some people are better than others. ... At that point, all any of us can do is to hope that no one in power decides that we belong in one of the lesser groups.”

Letters from an American, February 11, 2026

By Heather Cox Richardson, Feb 11, 2026

On February 12, 1809, Nancy Hanks Lincoln gave birth to her second child, a son: Abraham.

Abraham Lincoln grew up to become the nation’s sixteenth president, leading the country from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865, a little over a month into his second term. He piloted the country through the Civil War, preserving the concept of American democracy. It was a system that had never been fully realized but that he still saw as “the last, best hope of earth” to prove that people could govern themselves.

“Four score and seven years ago,” he told an audience at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in November 1863, “our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

Lincoln dated the founding of the nation from the Declaration of Independence rather than the Constitution, the document enslavers preferred because of that document’s protection of property. In the Declaration, the Founders wrote that they held certain “truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed….”

For all of the legitimate comparisons between the current regime in DC and Nazi Germany, there’s plenty of US history that is echoing right now as well. As Dr Richardson puts it:

“History is doing that rhyming thing again.”

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that “all men are created equal.” We now practically read it “all men are created equal, except negroes.” When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read “all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.” When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Letter (1854-08-24) to Joshua Speed

To our #US cousins,
I'm guessing as children you were all taught about the #DeclarationofIndependence. You probably had it drummed into you as a proud part of your nations history, and rightly so. I have just read it for the first time in my life, surprisingly it was skimmed over most briefly in my history lessons here in the UK. A couple of sections jumped out at me... 1/2
#USA #Trump #ICE #DHS

just like the bigger boat in jaws, we're gonna' need a bigger vocabulary to describe the irony slash hypocrisy of this administration's state sponsored terror campaign... #ReneeGood #Epstein #ICE #1A #DeclarationOfIndependence

What a joke

#JohnRoberts' annual report

The chief justice touted #JudicialIndependence & urged Americans to keep faith in the #Constitution in year-end statement

Focusing on the #DeclarationOfIndependence as the nation turns to its 250th anniversary, Roberts said the #founders chafed at the crown’s control of colonial courts & “corrected this flaw” by setting up a #judiciary that would operate without interference from the other branches.
