I think this is just like the Democrats. When they finally do get past their inertia, all they do is talk, talk talk talk talk in circles with nothing as a goal and nothing accomplished. True at least he’s doing something but to what end really
There is a lot of valid criticism about the timing of this, about our foreign policy in Gaza, and much more. But please understand that this is what we have been shouting for and this is what we need. Until you are out in the streets and organizing, this is the movement.
They've been helping him out all morning. The Dem senators are taking turns with prepared questions that include tons of additional information, anecdotes etc.
It took nearly 24 hours for legacy media to acknowledge Booker. We need to remind Legacy media that the people get a voice and that THAT is what people deserve in elected officials. A voice, votes that help the people and fighters for the people
Thank you Senator Booker. This is the kind of response this moment in our history demands. Your actions last night and today are appreciated! Almost 50k people are watching in solidarity with you
Finally someone with some cojones!
Not that stupid Fetterman who is full of baloney!
Cory Booker stands up to rail against the Lying King!
For hours and hours Cory did sing!
Now we need some more senators to stand up!
And drink from that big truth cup!
No. He's not allowed a bathroom break, so candy may be snuck in, but no liquids or food.
He's not allowed to sit either.
Senator Booker is balls-to-the-wall.

I had agreed with you, but the small amount of active filibuster rules I've been reading about says that he had to take control of the floor during a regular session, and without tipping his hand. I assume he had to be speaking for a reason too.
It's also a PR move to start it late and do it overnight - it's much more impressive for the morning news cycle to say someone has been speaking throughout the night than "someone has been talking all day" at a time when they were supposed to be there anyway.
If Corey can stand up and shout for 22+ hours for all of us, I can go and stand in Denver's civic center for 3 hours this Saturday. Thank you, Senator Booker!
Yes - he is amazing and should immediately be put in charge.
Dems (you) who have largely failed the assignment can not take credit for his work and labor until they (you) too put their bodies on the line and work around the literal clock.
Again really happy to see this but I cannot go without pointing out what the dems, specifically senators, have done to enable the situation. Allowing nominees, @schumer.senate.gov alone, @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov decorum and bipartinship. You don't sit at a table with fascists.

There are 47 democratic senators, if they want the poll rating to go up, they need to step up their game and keep this going! @democrats.senate.gov
Holy **** Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov!!! You are amazing!!! 💙💙💙
Now the rest of you. Show him he’s not alone, if he’s not.
Or will we ever?
Have we even acknowledge them yet?
Nope.
Not gonna believe any other bullshit if you can't handle something that basic.
This isn't cynicism.
This is "You, the person who's job it is to address war crimes, are not addressing a war crime you have proof of"
It's not cynicism to point out when they're entirely and utterly ignoring their basic job.
It's just reality.
It’s the definition of indulgent and cynical.
You literally came into my mentions, for no reason at all, with no previous interactions, to whine and cry like a little bitch.
Any future responses you make are just going to get linked back to this post.
I’m not going to waste my time.

He has the fire we need.
Aka: Rosa Parks sat on a bus (she was a trained activist) … what was the goal?
Resistance. Bodies resisting = direct action.
Rosa got a national boycott. Maybe we can get a couple more senators inspired by him. Hundreds of actions.

Cory Booker!
Reagan got us here.
9/11 got us here.
Citizens United got us here.
Hillary Clinton got us here.
Patronizing the left while drifting ever to the right got us here.
Don’t condescend to me.
Yes Reagan did a lot of this.
But it’s 2025. We need action now. Cynicism is part of what got us here.
Waiting on them, counting on them, acknowledging them at all is a waste of time.
The rich are killing us. We need to break their stuff or civilization is over.
This is not an exaggeration.
