In a world of Trumps, be a Lincoln.
BREAKING: President Petro of Colombia has just retweeted this quote from Abraham Lincoln:
“Just as I would not be a slave, I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.”

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.
So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own.

Saying "Lincoln was a Republican" is like saying “Kevin Spacey won an Oscar.” Technically it’s true, but a lot of shit has happened since then

@mcuban.bsky.social is onto something!
It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here
THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.
You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.
Which is more powerful?
