Hour 6 of the marathon speech by US Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) in Congress, a very emotional moment as he reads a letter from a constituent with Parkinson's Disease.

Surprised we don't see more of Sen Booker. Looking at a few comments today. A lot of admiration for this marathon. A few of the usual "He's drenched in the blood of the Palestinians" people.
In a party lacking charismatic leaders... this guy looks like a leader to me. What do people make of him?
@kim.senate.gov Senator Andy Kim has joined the filibuster!!! So proud of all of them, including Cory and Chris! Let's keep it going, whose next?!?!

Demagoguery at its highest level...
Where was all this "emotion" when Biden's Dimocratic Administration needed to show it!
Where was Mr. Booker while Biden was selling out America?
Anyone who didn't cry or who's heart didn't ache when Booker starting talking about this letter and his dad... Those are absolutely soulless people who have no empathy. I, for one, bawled my eyes out.
I've been watching Cory Booker since he started. He has made me cry many times already. God bless him for speaking out. He is my hero. I'm one of those people he is talking about now. So moving. Thank u Cory. Sending you love!!!!! WE ARETHERE WITH YOU!!!
Elected officials are supposed to protect the interests of their constituents. Itβs a government by the people and for the people, not by billionaires and for billionaires. The people have more power than the people in power. Resist, remove, rebuild!
Booker should be Democratic leader and Schumer and Durbin should step down (in disgrace). Neither will ever have credibility again when they criticize what Trump and the GOP are doing. Really, they should resign from the Senate (and take Fetterman and Gillibrand with them) to make way for fighters.
Thank you Senator Booker! This is a big boost that helps propel each of us march forward against the repression from the fascist buffoon & his GOP accomplices.
Everyone should tune in and leave it on even without volume. Leave it on even if you're going to sleep. Leave it on even if you're not watching it. To show we're right there with him on this by viewing numbers. Currently 11,752 viewers
Thank you Cory Booker for defending the defenseless. If we donβt have the courage to join Cory and defend the helpless, we are needlessly living in a pit.
If someone needs us, do we extend a hand where possible, or leave them languishing?
Dear @kenmartin.bsky.social, @democraticparty.bsky.social,
This needs to be done in an organized manner, taking turns, 24/7, remove all unanimous consent.

Senator, you are a leader of leaders, a stateman, filled with wisdom, love & patriotism.

βWhat kind of man?!β
America needs to see examples of empathy to counter the onslaught of cruelty.
His βI see youβ is powerful in the face of such dehumanization from this regime.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov
Go Cory Booker!
"Who are we America if you don't think this is a moral moment where the character of our country is being tested?"
I'm a 67 year old 1st time protester. I call and write ALL of the senators. The GOP can stop this. We only need 4 of them to change course.
Hour 13 & counting...

Magas are vilifying. You or I could be next.
