“Rugged individualism didn’t beat the Nazis.”

—Senator Cory Booker

#corybooker #corybookerfilibuster


30 minutes away from breaking the record. Senator #CoryBooker is still speaking about the importance of the US #Constitution & standing up for the #rights of all #people, especially those who are being targeted by a savage few with the #money & #power to do so.

And he has done it. Senator #CoryBooker has broken Strom Thurmond’s 1957 anti-civil rights filibuster.

“I am not doing this because of him, I am doing this in spite of him.”

“I’m not quite ready to wrap this up yet.”

"This is an American moral moment. ..where do we stand for health care? Where do we stand for Social Security? Where do we stand for VA benefits? Where do we stand for our American neighbor? When the call & commandment of every faith in our land is to love your neighbor. What's the quality of our love America? Now's the time to get angry, but let that anger fuel you. Now's your time to get scared for what's happening to your neighbors & let that fear bring about your courage.

Sure, what #CoryBooker is doing is cool, I guess.

But we'd be fooling ourselves if we think we can use the current system to dig our way out of fascism.

No vote, speech, or filibuster will save us!

Our "elected" officials are not going to save us.

This isn't about purity, but objective reality.


Senator #CoryBooker has now entered his 22nd hour speaking on the #Senate floor, criticizing the #Trump admin.

If he makes it to 7:19PM ET, he will have surpassed the all time record in US history.

Senator Strom Thurmond’s 1957 civil rights debate on the Senate floor holds the record at 24 hours & 18 minutes long.

U.S. Senator #CoryBooker addresses the #Senate floor. Booker, a #Democrat from New Jersey, has promised to speak "as long" as he's physically able on the Senate floor Monday night into Tuesday morning, criticizing the #Trump admin.

Hell yeah.

WITNESS THIS MAN

I wanted to capture some snippets from hour 19 (he's going on hour 22 now)

Corey Booker on #Anger:

#BookerFilibuster


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


These are only three and a half minutes. Uncut. Representing the essence of #CoryBooker 's speech around the 20hrs mark. It's a speech to all Americans. But is as well a speech, foremost to the #DemocraticParty, about which, until today, I wasn't sure it still exists. Senator Booker just opened a huge window of opportunity. They only have to use it.
