🏛️ THE PRESIDENT DIES

April 15, 1865 — In a small boarding house bedroom across from Ford's Theatre, President Abraham Lincoln slips away at 7:22 AM, eleven hours after John Wilkes Booth's bullet ended his life. His cabinet members gather around the bed in stunned silence as America learns its leader has joined Washington and Jackson in death. The Civil War is essentially over, but the nation's grief has just begun.

#AbrahamLincoln was shot in the head by actor and #Confederate sympathizer #JohnWilkesBooth on #ThisDayInHistory in 1865, who leapt down to the stage crying out "#SicSemperTyrannis." With the #CivilWar newly won, Lincoln was taking an evening off to enjoy a show at #FordsTheatre.

What do you do when you live in a kleptocracy, where billionaires making mythical amounts of money pay no tax at all, but everyday Joe and Jane carry the heavy burden of paying for everything necessary to run the country with their taxes?

Simple! You do "government of the people, by the people, for the people", like "socialists" #AbrahamLincoln said, and #FranklinRoosevelt delivered. And socialist without quotes #Mamdani plans to start delivering this year:

A quotation from Lincoln

   If A. can prove, however conclusively, that he may, of right, enslave B. — why may not B. snatch the same argument, and prove equally, that he may enslave A?
   You say A. is white, and B. is black. It is color, then; the lighter having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a fairer skin than your own.
   You do not mean color exactly? — You mean the whites are intellectually the superior of blacks, and, therefore, have the right to enslave them? Take care again. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with an intellect superior to your own.
   But, say you, it is a question of interest; and, if you can make it your interest, you have the right to enslave another. Very well. And if he can make it his interest, he has the right to enslave you.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Note (1854-07-01?), On Slavery (fragment)
