I thought about your filibuster and went back and watched this..He’s not here to share it with us, but I will.
Let’s take a little inspiration for the battles we are going to face over the next 4 years.
We are going to need it.
I am proud to stand with you! We ALL need to "get into some good trouble"!
Thank you for your courage, strength and wisdom! Thank you for your inspiring words! Thank you for you!
@booker.senate.gov says one thing but then voted with Republicans to send $8.8 billion in military arms to Israel. Innocent children and women are dying so Trump paradise can be built. @aoc.bsky.social is who we need cause she is truly for the people. Pay attention to Senator Sanders who knows best.
Soooo... This whole support of Netanyahu I heard you have and of what Israel is doing to innocent people.
That's a big fucking issue with me.
Do you support that evil man?
Just saw you on msnbc. You were talking about keeping decorum in the senate! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING?! WHY IS THAT EVEN A PRIORITY. REPUBLICANS ARE BREAKING LAWS! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! #HandsOff
Cory thanks man. These few hundred children the last couple days sends there warmest regards. They ask can you guys at least fucking send some bags for the dead to be covered since you support their killing.
I guess the only good for you giving them bunker buster bombs is maybe the rest will die before they starve to death. Seriously man I had faith in you, but you are Chuck Schumer but fuck off.
Great! But we haven't forgotten that you voted to continue arming Israel's genocide. You have a bid for 2028 if you get the US the fuck out of this bloody occupation.
The world (including the people of Gaza) is truly grateful for the good things Trump and his acolytes continue to do, all with a little helping hand from you.
We're all really appreciative of the gifts your political insight and prowess have brought
You are angry with the wrong set of people, assuming you are being sarcastic, as Trump has done no good things for anyone anywhere other than for rich people and dictators
Your town hall was such a breath of fresh air. From the way you treated the people who are struggling AND the people who oppose you... thank you. More. More.
Great I can talk for 25 hours. I’d rather see him actually do something that works. Come on guys he still needs to be held accountable for not trying to impeach the felon
Worse they voted against Bernie to give a crazed fucking maniac bunker buster bombs to finish killing women and children begging for help. Sorry you don't get a pass
If his speech mobilized 3.5 million people to protest then why can he not move congress and the senate. With much respect I don’t think his speech had much effect. The participation of others I think helped more than him alone.
I did not suggest it was him alone. And for the rest, give him time, the speech was less than a week ago. Maybe it will be someone else, but the important thing is to make people go out and say what they (don't) want.
When Senator Sanders tried to block a pending $8 billion arms sale to Israel, he did so practically alone. Only 14 other senators, all Democrats, voted with him. Senator Cory Booker, recently minted hero of the resistance, was not one of them.
The US has been supporting Israel longer than you've been alive. Singling out Booker here is nothing but demonization and all you're accomplishing is ensuring that another Republican. Your purist woke world will only ever exist in your mind.
Pedro, I respectfully disagree. Facilitating the mass murder of civilians is unethical - in fact, it's downright evil. A person who says he is taking, and encourages others to take, the moral high ground has a duty to behave with integrity. Sen. Booker receives large donations through AIPAC.
Why did you vote to continue the Palestinian genocide?
Why are you asking for donations immediately after your speech?
Senator Booker, you have to make a decision and follow your own advice: there is the right side and the wrong side.
Which one are you choosing?
@booker.senate.gov There is the right side and the wrong side. You can't continue to vote with Republicans to fund a GENOCIDE. First they come for them and then they come for us. Innocent children and women are still dying. We will not forget. You better start paying attention to Senator Sanders.
When you said “if it was to be, it had to be me” that resonated - you really sparked the energy we need right now. Thank you @booker.senate.gov hope to see my senators @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.bsky.social get on board and refuse to support ANY of the fascist GOP nominees or bills!
Entrainment is the process of synchronizing or coordinating two or more systems. It can occur in many different systems, including biological, physical, and social systems.
I hope we overcome the dangers of social entrainment. I don't have all the answers. But that's a great place to look.
If you can commit to rejecting donations from AIPAC -- like you committed to doing with corporate donations -- and only accept small donations from individuals going forward, you will have ALL of the support of the people and will become an unstoppable force for the betterment of the country.
Wake up to what? I'm acknowledging his current shortcomings and asking him to do better.
He changed his practices in 2018 when pressured by the electorate, and it is on us again to apply that same pressure. My guess is that he would love to not depend on AIPAC donations in order to win elections.
I hope you're recovered from your historic moment. Thank you for standing up and speaking out. I saw many signs at #handsoff Colorado Springs today quoting your "it's not about left or right, it's about right or wrong".
And you like this moment so much that you vote for a genocide in Palestine. Cory, what kind of person are you? Do you have any feelings for innocent Palestinian kids whom you help kill by voting to send more bombs to Israel? You should know what apartheid and racism are. But you vote for that...
Just watched on YouTube. It was inspiring and gives people hope. Sen. Booker was respectful to some protesters in the audience. Did not call them names or talk to them like they were ignorant, like some republican congresspeople I have seen during town halls.
@CORYBOOKER STOP VOTING WITH REPUBLICANS TO FUND THAT FAILED APARTHEID PROJECT CALLED ISRAEL WITH BILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS SO THEY CAN CARPET BOMB THE INDIGENOUS INNOCENT PALESTINIANS TO DEATH!!
AIPAC IS BUYING YOUR VOTE AND HAS CURRENTLY BOUGHT 90% OF ALL CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS!
AIPAC is buying too many Senators and they will NOT stand a chance in the next elections or with running for POTUS. Senator @Fetterman will be next to go as too much support for Israel and the killing of innocent Palestinians. Listen to Senator Sanders and @aoc.bsky.social. AOC POTUS 2028.
It would be even greater if you didn’t turn a blind eye to genocide— and even worse, Vite to fund and perpetuate it. Sorry Senator. You are one of the good ones & could go in to greatness, but that is a stain that will follow you through history.
If our dems didn't vote to put bunker buster arms in the hands of a mad man, guys we are mad but you will get the same results if you stay as you are. We have begged you to change. You guys have voted against us every step of the way, you are the Republicans until you act like you are different.
Okay guys hear me out. I’m thinking we can get a very popular republican leader (stay with me here) or a group that is against the current administration and what he’s doing to the republicans reputation on who they once were when they stood for America and have him or them rally the “troop” to help
Cory, at our protest in Monterey, Ca., about one in four signs seemed to quote your words! I saw your quotes all day long! Thank you so much, sir, you lit the flame…..
I’m so jazzed!! Love what you’ve done. Not just this wk but what you represent. Inspire those to go out and make some good trouble! Someone (Angel John Lewis) is smiling down on you. Inspirationally timed pre-protests in the world! 💙👍🏽💪🏽Keep up the fight💙
Your marathon speech was inspirational, but the next day you voted against S.J.Res 33, Sen. Sanders' bill to block more military aid to Israel. More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since Oct 7. How many is enough!? Would you block aid at 100,000 or 200,000, what number is too many???
I appreciate that you made the speech and broke the record, but I'm curious why you didn't use the opportunity to do an actual filibuster to delay the appointment that came just after your speech concluded.
“The people” were out Saturday in the millions all across America. It’s not being covered by the media. Trump and the Republicans need to know.. we’ll keep this going! Thank you Senator Booker.
Repugs attempting to allow tdump to delete USA with this facist ultimate goal law, that would allow prez to deem the constitution or Congress unnecessary or irrelevant and to delete everything.. such is it's circumvention of any further need for any congressional approval..
we need constitutional lawyers to give advice to the organizers of protests there is a plan to keep the GOP in power and I am guessing it's martial law .
I truly believe that Cory was a catalyst for the AMAZING turnout across the nation today. I made 10 extra signs to hand out to the huge crowd in Raleigh, NC. EVERYONE
wanted the ones where I wrote a CB quote fm his
25 hour passionate speech

Utterly disappointed in you. Still support genocide? Hardly a progressive position as everyone should be equal. Or is your Israeli donors more important than our moral compass as leaders in the world? NOT LEADERSHIP!
I'm with yiu Shana. Had high hopes for @booker.senate.gov after that filibuster speech but then came his vote with support of Republicans to send $8.8 billion in arms to Israel to kill more INNOCENT Palestinians. Funding a GENOCIDE so Trump paradise can be built. We are watching and will tell all.
Yah. Crazy hey? They are cutting funding, jobs, social security and medical benefits next..yet we send 8.8 billion to Israel? Anyone who is America first should be objecting. Wasn't Trump's promise to stay out of wars? Many of the Dems are not so different. I unfollowed him.
What if silence was the real weapon? While we shouted Trump’s name into every camera, Biden whispered—and governed. Now Trump’s back in power, and we’re choking on the smoke we helped spread. This isn’t just an article—it’s a reckoning.
Today was a good beginning - now we need @barackobama.bsky.social & his amazing teams’ genius level organizational skills

That's a big fucking issue with me.
Do you support that evil man?
@schumer.senate.gov stood quiet while knowing that Biden was not capable of running the country.
It's time to make a bold move, not business as usual!
Replace Schumer!
And five minutes.
So unlike J6.

All these politicians have AIPAC Guys that call each morning to make sure they work for Israel's interests.
New Jersey, you are pathetic.

Booker is a zionist.
Why fund a genocide?

I really believe your speech relit some tired fires in us. I know it did me. Thank you.
Why are you asking for donations immediately after your speech?
Senator Booker, you have to make a decision and follow your own advice: there is the right side and the wrong side.
Which one are you choosing?
He needs to pick a side. NOW.
I hope we overcome the dangers of social entrainment. I don't have all the answers. But that's a great place to look.

Where was all this anger, enthusiasm & anti-fascist activism in November of 2024? Trump told us what he was going to do.
Americans are so reactive, & not proactive or forward thinking.
This really pisses me off. We could have prevented this!
This is GOOD AMERICAN
TROUBLE!!!

Republicans aren’t even trying to hide their kleptocratic grab of power anymore.
The Russian Agent Orange is purposely destroying our economy.
That’s what enemies do.
What does it take to convince Americans this is a Russian takeover?
The lying cheating Republicans are subversives and Russia has bought off these entities to further destroy the US from the inside out.

But maybe Senate Ds should go back to DC tomorrow or Tuesday
Depending on how things go
Senate Ds should shame Rs into returning
Unless you are content with a district work period
