Senator Booker is a ROCK STAR!!!! THANK YOU, Senator Booker!!!

reginamia.bsky.social•3 days ago

Everyone who believes in a true democratic-republic must stand up. Bernie Sanders pioneered the nationwide town hall meetings, social media is covering what mainstream media has been bribed not to. It's on us to end this fascist regime.

lidje.bsky.social•3 days ago

Share with everyone you can. We need to demonstrate strong support!!

jaxbbax.bsky.social•3 days ago

For?

lidje.bsky.social•3 days ago

For any action. I keep seeing complaints about reps and senators not doing anything. So if someone does something, let’s support it…no matter what the action is.

Scheduled senate session tmrw at 10 am. If he can keep going beyond that, he’ll disrupt planned business.

jaxbbax.bsky.social•3 days ago

Then start it at 9am not when business is closed & the Senate went home. This isn't action. I don't know what it is, but it isn't action.

IMO.

Maybe it has to do with Habba? But, she has already been sworn in.

lidje.bsky.social•3 days ago

I doubt that he’d be recognized at 9 am with business scheduled to begin at 10. Regardless of whether he’s able to disrupt tmrw, it is action. And sharing stories of Americans and the impact of the cuts gives voice to people. It shows they are heard. Isn’t not listening one of the complaints.

lidje.bsky.social•3 days ago

If we can’t support all actions, and we can’t display a united front, we will be further divided. Bringing together the voices of many different people will take many different types of actions

catcresswell.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do you know what it is?
It's a fucking start.

jaxbbax.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agree.

bestselfgps.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why did he wait until all the main cabinet positions were filled with degenerates?

irminsulantifa.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe Dems should have done that before the first nominee hit the panel. Just a thought.

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/

Amy Walter from non biased COOK REPORT Think Tank on @pbsnews.org was asked SHOULD WE TAKE trump SERIOUSLY ON A 3rd term? Amy: There is not much pushback for any US CONST violations trump does so take him SERIOUSLY he WILL try to get away with this! https://youtu.be/-dqp9lud7B0?feature=shared

Mainstream media cares about Hoda Korb leaving the Morning Show and why she’s always crying.

itrustscience.bsky.social•3 days ago

MSNBC is covering it ✅
Rachel is going to keep us informed too

auntiem123.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you so much Senator Booker. Thank you for shining the light on the crisis we are facing and forcing the senate to listen to what the public is saying.

carlalalala12.bsky.social•3 days ago

So much respect for @corybooker.com, if he replaces @schumer.senate.gov today, I won't even be mad at it!

That's the good trouble we've all been waiting for 🙌 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social will follow - Whose next?!?!

judithmaria.com•3 days ago

It is not a filibuster, he is not trying to block any legislation or nomination.

somerandomdave.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'd encourage my notionally-(D) senators to support him, but it'd interfere with their voting to confirm grossly unqualified nominees, so I kinda doubt it'd make a difference.

rjharris816.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s good, but the gop doesn’t care about norms anymore, at all

lisacov.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you Mr Booker!!!

jaxbbax.bsky.social•3 days ago

He isnt filibustering anything. There are no bills being voted on. What is is the point?

nrobben.bsky.social•3 days ago

I found out from you first! Thank you!!

ATTA BOY CORY!!!!!!

fuzzypissykitty.bsky.social•3 days ago

He needs a bunch more democrats to join him. Talk until they they are sick of listening.

barb-t.bsky.social•2 days ago

Billionaire owned media isn’t covering most of our protests! Just saw this about Cory Booker and his filibuster! Skeets like that are vital to repost
and announce our ‘resistances’ to a wider audience and more reposts! We must be heard and seen! Repost FFS!

libby47.bsky.social•3 days ago

GO SENATOR BOOKER! Good trouble is good!

wrgo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe if they STOOD UP 3 Months ago but how can I help ?

olelib.bsky.social•3 days ago

Every Democrat should follow his leadership…major major psychological boost…

jksanders.bsky.social•3 days ago

Finally. Silence is compliance.

judyjeana.bsky.social•3 days ago

Rachel Maddow is covering this.

May he be the first of many. Replace Schumer with Senator Booker. @booker.senate.gov

pohlymoly.bsky.social•3 days ago

Schumer is there with him right now.

oliviawyrick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Aaron, mainstream media is absolutely covering it. You gotta be more judicious with these claims.

rah234.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nice thought but even his diehard supporters won't watch. He needs to do like Bernie & AOC! HEY CORY.. Come to rural Indiana or Ohio or Michigan or Iowa. Help us turn this shitshow around!

blackapple007.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hooray! At last a citizens Hero. Everyone should be covering this. Shame on the main-stream media for not televising this. Thank you C-span. Thank you. Sen. Corey Booker D. New Jersey a Hero.

krp88.bsky.social•3 days ago

I keep reading that it’s not a filibuster but just a long speech. Is this true or what is the difference? I hope more dems come in to help.

msanthr0pe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes. It’s better than nothing, but as I understand it? He waited until recess after everyone had gone home. He’s not holding up a vote, nor is there quorum. Just holding the floor, keeping staff from going home and lights on. There were a million ways to make this stronger.

magreinert.bsky.social•3 days ago

It is at least better than the silence of the party. Hoping it’s a start. Imperfect, yes but at least it’s something.

msanthr0pe.bsky.social•2 days ago

I completely agree. I hate nothing more than the finger pointing and status quo! It’s something.

sushimacc.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s so Jersey!👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥

obearwan-kenobi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sounds like something a leader would do.

I have been listening for 2 hours and the message is both incredibly powerful and well-delivered. And I love that he gave credit to Al Green, without even saying his name!

Main Stream Media has been given their marching orders. You’ll never hear them go against the supreme leader.

davania.bsky.social•2 days ago

Its not a filibuster though

weriseupagain.bsky.social•3 days ago

🤬🤬 Some things will never be forgiven and can never be again! The MSM is at the top of the lists! For not covering our protests and the others who sold their souls to kiss that ring! F**k them!! Never forget and never forgive!
