It’s not every day that you get to stand up for more than 20 hours and flip Storm Thurmond a bird

If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

I hope Strom Thurmond is turning over knowing that a black man broke his record!

Honestly, I had to check if Strom Thurmond wasn't somehow still alive to see this.

Is Storm the daughter he had with his slave?

Exactly!!!

Satisfying to watch. Every time someone mentions that man, I remember telling new Sen. Carol Mosley Braun in the senate elevator that he was going to sing Dixie until she cried. He deserves nothing but scorn.

This is a triple flip. Thurmond, Trump, and Musk. Both middle fingers and a middle toe.

I really want a black person to break that record. I'm pretty proud of NJ right now.

Stunting on Strom in the grave really is the chef's kiss. Proud of my fellow Newarker today!

He was such a vile, petty, and empty little bigot. Just awful.

As Americans we realize - Senator Booker's Win is also Our Win... Its Democracy's Win!

Hope Satan makes Thurmond watch Booker break his record and remove his name from a piece of history.

I hope his very first stop was to take the longest piss on Strom's headstone.

This is a record that should only be broken for a good reason, and they have one!

Thank you Cory Booker!

John Lewis is looking down and smiling at his friend.

Someone’s going to pull a fire alarm.

I love Corey Booker so much for this

FUCK STROM THURMOND.

stryc9fuego.bsky.social•5 days ago

so considering that Thurmond's filibuster was a bust (the bill he was trying to filibuster passed anyway and was signed into law as the Civil Rights Act of 1957 two weeks later) and it is no longer a record, can we just go ahead and forget that racist piece of shit even existed?
