Happening now:
#NJ #Democrat #CoryBooker is delivering a #filibuster in the #Senate
For nonAmericans, it simply means you block all business as long as you can speak
He started at 7 PM Monday, and spoke through the night, and is still going as of 1 PM today
We need *a lot* more than that but it's a start

edit: it's not even a filler filibuster, where you read the dictionary or something empty, he's still on point the whole speech

if you tune in you can see other speakers from the floor chiming in
these are other democrats helping cory out by giving him a small break, it's just using a quirk of the rules
congress has byzantine rules about how long someone can speak, who can respond, how long they can respond, etc, so it becomes a game

in reply to Ben Royce 🇺🇦 • • •now he's speaking about the history of the #women's #suffrage movement, about one of the first people to #protest #congress, how she directly challenged president woodrow wilson and how she was then abused by the state
this is hour 19!
he's stutttering a little, but his thoughts and rhetoric are fire
cory is on fire
dude's being a fucking us history professor giving a college level lecture to the nation with no sleep
