  1. A quotation (probably not) from Abraham Lincoln

    I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is, truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861–65)
    Letter (1842-02-22) to George E. Pickett (forgery)

  2. > Reforms that would break the supermajority right-wing Court’s grip on the country — its operating as a legislative veto for Democratic administrations and a hall pass for Republican ones — would go far beyond docket management and ethics reforms, though. Term limits, court packing, jurisdiction stripping — the ideas lighting up the intellectual left and spreading to Democratic officials would overhaul the Court as we know it.

  3. Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention... Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure his bite.
    -- Abraham Lincoln

  4. A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

    At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1838-01-27), Young Men’s Lyceum, Springfield, Illinois

  8. MIST1022/ATONALOSPREY-DEAD_PRESIDENT_16

    Mistigram: at the time he drew #AbrahamLincoln for his #DeadPresidents series, @atonalosprey couldn’t have imagined that in 2025 Honest Abe might be not only spinning in his grave but actively pulling his mouldering remains out of it to weigh in on the triumph of the mobocratic spirit. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released three years ago this month.
