Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history.
Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights.
Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.

The record is good to bury a racist but Sen Booker is looking towards the future for all…
So much of the legislation Dems couldn't pass because of easy filibustering would have helped dems win the last election. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you! I always said that anyone DEM that wanted to run for president needs to stand up. They’d have 4 years of free press and a platform!
Tonight, 4/1/2025, at 7:19 ET Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey will break a shameful, hateful man’s 67 year record of filibuster against The Civil Rights Act of 1957. History rewritten!
Wow! Will you look at that?
It’s an aggressive Democrat.
Once everywhere, now rare.
Clap, so he knows we care!
he spoke in bad faith
Ds should deny all presumption of regularity to Trump's attacks on our freedoms and safety, and in doing so they'd be speaking in good faith
April 5, we march people.
We march. Let’s cause some good trouble.
