"How can the central precept of our country, founded on on principles that are reflected in the good book, how can we say we should cut healthcare from the sick and the needy to give bigger tax cuts to Elon musk?"
Cory Booker.
Speaking from the Senate floor, 04\01\2025
🚨🚨 CALL TO ACTION: Send messages of support to Senator Cory Booker! Send the message to a Democratic Senator. Let's overwhelm Cory Booker with gratitude for what he's doing. Let's show other senators what happens when they stand up & fight! Let's encourage them to follow Sen Booker's example!! 🚨🚨
Last night, I posted on #Facebook and #Instagram about @booker.senate.gov and his filibuster. This morning, I woke up to suspended accounts. There are people being taken from the streets. If you're not scared, you're not paying attention. Free speech? Shame on you, #MarkZuckerberg and #Meta.
If Chuck Schumer was even one tenth the leader Booker is, he’d be standing right next to him and supporting him through every minute of this.
STAND UP CHUCK!
I will always support the man who ran into a burning building to save his elderly neighbor. Thd mayor who asked constituents who needed help digging their cars out during Snowmageddon. You go Senator Booker!
The Senate finally stepping up giving voice to those they represent! His knowledge of issues, passion, outrage, and warmth is refueling my hope. More of this, please. Silence is complicity.
“You gotta unclench your ass cheeks, unpucker your asshole, relax your jaw, and shake it off. All that adrenaline locking up your frame, threatening to warp the chassis, you better let it out. Release steam.”
I'll always remember of a viral video of then Mayor Booker going to extraordinary lengths to save a dog in a blizzard. Good people...👏👏👏https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/cory-booker-to-the-rescue-mayor-saves-frozen-dog-18313273
Senator Cory Booker just made history with the longest filibuster ever—bold, principled, and full of patriotic audacity. This is what standing up for democracy looks like. We see you, Senator. And we’re with you. 🌓✨
#StandWithBooker #DemocracyInAction
I may not agree with his views on the Israeli genocide of Palestine, but i am not going to knock him for it right now when he’s ACTUALLY doing something! Especially when he’s saying all the right things on everything else! Rooting for him! I hope he can take a nice long rest after all this!
This is impressive, but it’s worth remembering that it’s mostly theater to restore some of the Senate’s integrity that Schumer lost. Booker isn’t blocking any bills with this filibuster; he also voted for the nominations of Rubio, Ratcliffe, and Bassett.
I'm sure any Democrats who voted for them thought that giving Trump the least noxious of his Cabinet picks would give themselves some cred as more than just naysayers & maybe even provide cover to Trumpublicans who might then join in blocking the worst, like Patel, Gabbard & Hegseth.
But no.
Matthew 25 Christians! This conversation between Booker and Warnock makes my pastoral heart sing. I wish we saw more Matthew 25 Christians and fewer grifters and Christian nationalists.
Well done and thank you to Senator Cory Booker for holding the Senate floor for 17 hours straight to call out all of the harm and damage the orange felon has done to the United States, powerful and needed, many more Democrats need to do this.
While happy to see Senator Booker actually DO something, it’s disturbing & infuriating that
A). It’s taken 3 months for Senate Dems to do anything
B). This is one of few efforts seen to actually stand up for their constituents.
It’s a good thing, but it’s feeling a day late and a dollar short.
💙🔥Call Sen. Booker to thank and support him, let him know how you feel while his marathon speech in the senate floor is still going! 💙🙏🇺🇸 Leave a message for him! Phone: (202) 224-3224
Anyone notice he doesn’t talk about his problems, his gripes? He’s talking about the struggles of other people. Caring about others. Novel concept for some so-called Christian conservatives.
Senator Booker and all Senators and elected representatives need to loudly and repeatedly call for the IMMEDIATE resignation of Trump and everyone in his administration and the immediate resentencing of Trump for his 34 felony convictions
I wish the news networks were showing him the respect of, at the very least, having this in a box in the corner of the screen. Heck, put a count up clock with it if drama is needed.
Senators Murphy, Kim, Schiff, Blumenthal, Duckworth, Coons, and Kaine have all stepped up to support him and I'm sure I missed others in the circa 12 hours I was away from C-SPAN2 between 0200 and 1400 hrs.
@booker.senate.gov
The record for the longest filibuster is 24 hours and 18 minutes.
It is held by Sen. Thurman who was filibustering AGAINST the Civil Rights Act.
How poetic would it be for a black man to smash that record for a much more noble cause?!
This isn’t just about a record - it’s about rewriting history. That fucker was designed to protect slavery and segregation. Using it against oppression would be the ultimate revenge.
It's not technically a filibuster, as no legislation is being blocked. But I believe in what he's doing.
Our co-equal branches of government have to start doing their jobs and stop abdicating their power to a trio of megalomaniacs and their sycophants.
Give that man some love. Call his DC office and leave a message. You don’t have to be a constituent, he is speaking for ALL of us!
202-224-3224. Take 2-3 minutes for him!
Women helped men over last 4 decades out in reality where bigbro sends dogs at protests. That's it. That is the post. Men in this era are wwwimps for the most part.
I'm a witness to how many little boys are keyboard warriors AND NOTHING MORE and i'm fucking pissed off about that.

Our world is noisy, chaotic, disorienting, uncertain, and for many, terrifying. There is only one way We the People can turn the tables on the Billionaire Corruption and the Fascism it puppeteers, that's if millions of us become a nuclear reaction to the Big Bang of Truth. https://www.thecleannewdeal.org
Of course Mika & Joe don't want to talk about it! All the evening shows last night would pop in & check on what he was saying at the moment & even run picture-in-picture for a bit.
Other Senators can ask questions to give Cory Booker a break 'The West Wing' season 2 episode 17 "The Stackhouse Filibuster"
A great episode if you haven't watched it.
So proud they are suddenly doing something. Now after he finishes, another Dem needs to stand up and do the same thing. The Congress isn't doing anything for us anyway.

This also expands the facts / stories of fears / losses / pain caused by the orange menace regime.
The record for the longest filibuster is 24 hours and 18 minutes.
It is held by Sen. Thurman who was filibustering AGAINST the Civil Rights Act.
How poetic would it be for a black man to smash that record for a much more noble cause?!
Keep going, Cory!! #corybooker #filibuster
It’s that simple.
He even voted to confirm several of Trump's nominees, including Ratcliffe and Rubio who were caught up in the Signal group chat scandal.
This is him generating viral video clips and putting on a show, politics as usual

This is what the Dems should be doing EVERY day.
He can’t be bothered to actually obstruct when it actually matters.

My god, that was more emotional than anticipated.
Feeling hopeful for the first time in months.

All Democratic senators should say, "We can and will do this all day & night till we drop!"
Do it until all 50 have disrupted at least 50 days of this naked authoritarian grab session!
I'm a witness to how many little boys are keyboard warriors AND NOTHING MORE and i'm fucking pissed off about that.

It would be good to see that record finally broken by
@booker.senate.gov speaking on behalf of the Constitution, decency, and Americans' rights.
right this very moment I'm listening
OMG I wish he was one of my senators, but stuck with crappy Moreno and Husted 🤮
