@blogoklahoma All that just to trick folks into sending them $5 to "train democrats." Performative political theatre at its finest. He didn't even filibuster anything!

WHY HAS WIKIPEDIA NOT CHANGED THE DESCRIPTION OF STORM THURMAN’S RACIST FILIBUSTER AS THE 2ND LONGEST IN HISTORY?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strom_Thurmond_filibuster_of_the_Civil_Rights_Act_of_1957?wprov=sfla1
tell me this “posturing” and so-called not real #filibuster is not important?
there are 47 US Senators for the Democratic Party. fuckers need to take on where Cory left off and filibuster until all the thousands of workers and experts are re-instated and all the programs shut down brought back up and funded.
IF IT TAKES ALL YEAR THEN SO BE IT.
Cory Booker should be Senate Democratic leader.

I love it!
This morning I donated $25.05 to Cory Booker in honor of the 25 hours and five minutes he eloquently spoke!
It was inspiring to watch Senator Booker doing something impactful to rally support against trump’s rapacious overreach & call out the Republicans’ passivity.

Doktor Zoom points to a video (it's embedded at the link below) "where Maddow encourages Booker to hydrate and Booker encourages Maddow to keep beginning her A block every night with video of the protests against fascism that are happening EVERY DAMN DAY in this wonderful country."

"This isn’t just poetic justice—it’s a political redemption. The same tactics once used to block civil rights are now being wielded to defend them.
The record for the longest speech in Senate history no longer belongs to a segregationist. It belongs to a Black man fighting for democracy."

1/4 People are celebrating #Booker &the great #filibuster caper. That's fine. They're desperate for a hero w Schumer asleep at the wheel or rather driving drunk under the influence of #Zionist #fascism.
Did the record deserve to be broken and held by anyone other than a segregationist? Sure.
Please understand that ICE disappearing legal residents is directly related to #Zionism, to which Booker & many in Congress pledge allegiance with every vote & dollar every day.

BREAKING: Senator Cory Booker reflects on his historic, record-setting speech
'Senator Cory Booker talks with Rachel Maddow about holding the Senate floor for a record-breaking 25 hours and 4 minutes to raise attention to the perils of Donald Trump's agenda and inspire American activism against that agenda as many of his constituents have taken to regular public protests on their own.'

That’s fucked up. They should have OSHA rules and breaks in there
People died for that shit
“#CoryBooker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping.
— In 2019, he backed anti-#BDS legislation
— In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O #Israel…”
— In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense
Wore a hostage pin for Israelis — but said nothing about more than 50,000+ Palestinians killed in #Gaza.”

I just donated $25.05 to Cory Booker’s campaign in honor of his record-breaking 25 hour 5 minute filibuster in the Senate. May he use it to make some Good Trouble.
