Even if @schumer.senate.gov won't admit it, this is the new leader of the Democrat Party. This is what action looks like as opposed to Schumer's capitulation.
I don't know if he was in on it from the beginning, but it's possible. Schumer was there for much of it, and was the first to ask a question, giving Booker a break. But one thing is clear. We have a new candidate.
Senator Booker's filibuster also proved the Democrat party isn't fully dead, and needs new leaders who have the backbone and eloquence to accomplish what he did.
I have dim hopes for our future, but Senator Booker, AOC, and others provide a brilliant, if currently narrow, Ray of light.
I watched him for several hours from the night before and the next day. Every Single Moment was on topic and on target. He was eloquent and the longer he went, he did not tire but became more passionate. I wish I had a senator like him who listened to the people. He inspired us all.
So wishing Americans courage and luck to kick this Mango Mussolini's fat arse out of the White House and bring in real democracy, protected from oligarchy.
Shoot. Accidentally misquoted him. Thank you for sharing!
I misremembered it as: If America hasn't broke your heart, you haven't lived here long enough.
Not wrong. Just give it a beat until the new car smell disappears. Still, his is so much better. 🤦♀️
it's an illegitimate colony of capital founded on stolen land, built through slavery and genocide, and maintained through tyranny and murder throughout the world.
fuck loving this piece of shit. time to make a new country with equal rights.
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests on Saturday, April 5th. If anyone wants a printable file of it, please message me : ) Find out more about the protests here: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
Coming from the guy who is paid off by Zio🇮🇱Nazi Aipac to the tune of $871,563! Fuck him! He represents baby killing apartheid Isra🇮🇱Hell, not the USA🇺🇸! 🫣🐷🤮🐀💩!
I'm crying my heart out! I appreciate what Cory Booker has done, but this country needs more!! Much more! We need Congress to take back their power! We need our leaders to scream OUT LOUD against this garbage & tell us what they are doing to stop this! And...
I stand for what is right treatment for people in general , I have never claimed to love America. When America decides to love us ,I may think about returning that love but history has shown for many years including today that we are not respected let alone love in this country so imma sit this out
Like say if America was a girlfriend, they're treating her horribly by abusing her mentally physically and not helping her at all. We need to be treating her with respect and love. We have to take her back and protect her from the crazy fascist.
I can absolutely see it! Bet 🤡 will STFU about an unconstitutional third term if he thinks about what running against Cory Booker would be like.
(Although the actuarial tables might have the determining say in 🤡’s decisions. ) 🙏
OR we already knew it was doomed from the start.
Growing up seeing the absolute and brazen corruption at every level, fueled by greed and the influence of the uber-rich was the start; seeing them rule in favor of Citizen's United was the final nail in the coffin.
I want to see more clones of Cory Booker in the Whitehouse. He reenergized the DEAD Democratic party & showed fiery leadership that has risen from John Lewis's spirit & onto the Senate floor! 👻👏
He's the voice for those voiceless under the ROGUE 🍊💩regime.
I believe it means working to make America better. And strategizing, and negotiating, and planning, and participating.
But we use "fight" too much.
Words matter, and fighting is not a tool for reconciliation. It is a means to dominate; to conquer.
You know, I think my heart stopped working (I have a pacemaker) because the country I grew up loving doesn't work for us. It did break my heart. I'm weak and old now, but I constantly send love to those young able to fight.
I remember reading Black veterans saying that they loved the country more than it loved them and it broke me up inside; imagining giving everything—your mind, your soul, your limbs, sometimes your life—to someone who didn't love you back.
Hopefully, Senator Cory Booker will become the next Senate leader, since oldster Chuck Schumer has angered many Democratic voters, because he made a bad deal benefitting Donald Trump and the oligarchy, while hurting the entire world.
"...don't love HER enough." Liberty and Justice are depicted as female. Roe was felled, the SAVE Act will make it very difficult if not impossible for some women to vote. I guess it truly is a war on women (and anyone who isn't a wealthy alt-right xtian male.
WH Auden:
Some think they're strong
Some think they're smart
Like butterflies they're torn apart
America will break your heart
You don't know I'll sir, you don't know all
Frankly it is hard for us as Canadians 🇨🇦 to love USA at this time. We can't.
Maybe we might be able once you toss out the current administration. Where are your "checks and balance"?
The healthcare situation reminds me of Pokemon.
It's very shitty, but it makes a lot of money. No one knows why it's so bad, other people who make pokemon games, I mean, healthcare does it WAY better, but STILL America won't step up its Pokemon game. Healthcare.
🇺🇸 We the People of the United States…to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence…general Welfare…Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…establish this Constitution for the United States of America.🇺🇸 https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
My heart was broken but when I started listening to this man speak, I knew. He has been my hero for a long time. He still is. HE NEEDS TO BE OUR PRESIDENT! LET'S GET HIM TO RUN AGAIN. HE CAN BEAT THAT S.O.B THAT'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW HANDS DOWN.
My heart is broken. I sit here in NZ staring at my Greencard, blinking back tears, knowing that by taking a stand against this regime I have made it impossible to ever return. I love America. I love Americans. I lived there for decades and it was my home - and always will be in my heart.
I'm not American but for all the men who died for Democracy in Europe UNITED STATES is in my heart for ever and I feel so so sad to see a criminal rapist helped by a racist South African not to make USA better only for the rich
TO BECOME RICHER +NASA + THE BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE LOSING BECAUSE OF TRUMP
Booker’s actions have inspired me to make this page. To analyze the original writings of the federalist papers & hopefully help inspire other people & remind everyone why WE the people are so important to the American Experiment.
The amount of inspiring and beautiful messages he said in that 25 hours is staggering. He had notes and books but 99% of that came from his heart. He is a true leader.
It's broken and it's flawed and it's imperfect, but it's our home. And so why shouldn't we want to fight to make our home better? To save it? You don't just abandon your home.
Let's keep fighting, America. Don't let these fascists take our home from us.
That’s a HUGE inner struggle. When half the country are mentally ill and they vote for hate, division, harm and retribution…they literally want to harm and hurt every other American who’s not just like them and they fucking get off on the suffering of others, I’m not even sure I care anymore.
I love Cory Booker, but I cannot say the same about America. America screws me every time I turn around because it does not have Universal Health care. If you paid what I do for medical care, you'd understand. It broke my heart and my pocketbook a long time ago.
Every social program created precisely to address suffering during the depression is

Today was a better day . . .
Wisconsin voters proved $$ doesn’t buy them. Florida outcome has got the FFFelon very concerned.
Cory Booker said it all for all of us who stand with him, he threw down the gauntlet and now fellow Democrat members must stand with him. The midterms are looking better. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Standing up against the current administration's tyranny and treason to preserve all of our convictions, rights and freedoms or lying down to let these authoritarian bastards finish wrecking our country? No contest. *Spoiler* They'll find out on Saturday what pissed off peons can do!
#FireDOGE
Indeed, and now is the time to stand up, speak out, and protest against Trump, Elon and the oligarchy! No tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. No more job layoffs to undeserving Americans so Trump can give tax cuts to the rich!
America broke my heart by voting for Trump the first time. America shattered my heart when he was allowed to run AGAIN with his criminal record and all we knew about his corruption. When he rightly should have been in the darkest prison that exists in America, never to see the light of day again!
Trump loves Trump he cares nothing about you also Jim Bank what he said to that guy who lost his job just goes to show you that’s how t gop in general thinks about regular citizens.
Trump made dreams in this country, The American Scheme. We need to oust his Art of the Steal and bring back kindness and morality to this nation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G4mxBiEKQA
That's right brother. I've said for many years that the real patriots are the people who have the courage to stand up and point out where this country is going wrong. Like Booker said about how trump is erasing all history but the pretty white kind so people won't feel bad about America (this isn't
verbatim) when the greatest thing about America is that in BECAUSE of our mistakes we work to do better, to move forward, to improve and to learn from our mistakes (at least some of us).
THAT'S what makes me proud, not that a bunch of white guys did some stuff and that's all that matters.
Cory has an election in 2026 and this will sell particularly well. Sad that so many in Washington think it more important to speak rather than accomplish anything. And it's true on both sides. Television appearances, rants, finger pointing and then the next election cycle. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I missed that line. But I loved “you cannot lead a country if you don’t love its people.” And this includes our immigrants. We cannot survive without them but ….the racists think otherwise.
And it goes without saying they don’t care about whites either. They hate anyone who isn’t rich. 🤔
🚨 We have no less than 15 new petitions and easy to send letters to congress and the senate. Please take ten minutes and send these notes and sign these petitions. #revolution2025
That really is a great line. Because, you know, I do love this country, and it has broken my heart. I've wrestled with those conflicting emotions many times.
Democrats are SATURATED with campaign donors like Republicans
They are standing up against TARIFFS that would cause a huge riff in corporate profits
They were not standing up when Bills against the millions of us?
They used their numbers to make it look like only a few of them are traitors to us.
I hope people understand what he went through before he even started his incredible speech. He’s a warrior & I’m damn glad he’s on our side. Big love Senator Booker, big respect.
Let's start the #BookerChallenge ! How long can anyone stand, no bathroom break and speak on the issues we face today? Real challenges people will face from experts in the field. @hillaryclinton.bsky.social @barackobama.bsky.social @altcdc.altgov.info @altfws.altgov.info @altnps.bsky.social
My husband is becoming an American historian and I've learned a lot about history alongside him. Knowing and being honest about our history does not make me hate it. If someone needs a comforting lie in order to love it than they hate the truth of it. My love is strong enough to love it ans know it.
It also means fighting with that broken heart. It also means fighting despite the pain. It means fighting till you die for it because if you don't feel that way, you won't live for it. 🇺🇲🇺🇦🤓🥰🦋💪
I love my country, and I would see her whole again. I will be here to witness her rebirth.

Show your love!
If we try the battle is half way done so we never Give up!!!!
Because Yes We Can!!!!
I watched him live at 6 differents moments.

Conservatives have this delusion that if you admit that America has any faults at all, it will crumble like a house of cards.

One thing Cory’s speech has shown.
Dem leaders suddenly have backbone.
A strong new look. We aren’t afraid.
We’re ready to fight! Lead the parade!

Support for genocide is what handed the White House, House and Senate to Trump and the GOP.
Your candidate actively spread dehumanising propaganda in support of genocide.

"You can't lead the people if you can't love the people".
That says everything. Trump, Musk & the entire GOP don't love Americans, they love money and power and nothing more.
They are standing up against TARIFFS that would cause a huge riff in corporate profits
They were not standing up when Bills against the millions of us?
They used their numbers to make it look like only a few of them are traitors to us.
