This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

Those of us in red states are watching Booker proudly and knowing he’s speaking for all of us. Those of you in blue states please urge your senators to step up-we blue dots appreciate it more than you know.

tvsadam.bsky.social•4 days ago

unfortunately my senators are some dickhead republican and John Fetterman so I think I’d have better luck asking them to recreate the “Puttin’ on the ritz” scene from Young Frankenstein

Then this post doesn't apply to you! 🤗

Hi from the SRV. sux here

beverlyrevelry.bsky.social•4 days ago

My senators suck (thanks, Idaho 😐), but I'm watching Senator Booker with tears in my eyes. He's an American hero

triksterg.bsky.social•4 days ago

Done.

marcyrw.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'd love to, but my Senators are Cornyn and Cruz, unfortunately.

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•4 days ago

you can still call and shame them... or decide that this post doesn't apply and put your energy elsewhere! 🤗

marcyrw.bsky.social•4 days ago

I know, I was just...lamenting the fact of my horrible Senators.

noisybrooklyn1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Done! I sure hope Gillibrand & Schumer follow suit.

noisybrooklyn1.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm guessing they won't...b/c well, you know.

rwb22.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah, I just called them too, but don't have any faith that they'll ever do anything. Sending money to anyone who primaries them, I can say that for sure.

joannafuhrman.bsky.social•4 days ago

When I called Schumer’s office, the aide said he has been aiding Booker since last night.

noisybrooklyn1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you for the update!

wilkiemahoneygags.bsky.social•4 days ago

My senators are too busy offering latitudes on social media to take part in an effectual stunt such as this.

wendymadarling.bsky.social•4 days ago

Both of mine showed up!

wilkiemahoneygags.bsky.social•4 days ago

Outstanding! I’ve been busy today and actually don’t know how my senators are spending their days, so if I’m inaccurate here, it’s my way of saying FINALLY!

ablativmeatshld.bsky.social•4 days ago

One of my senators tweets regularly about what a great job RFKJr is doing.

I'm going to guess a call to him would be pointless.

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•4 days ago

It might be helpful to YOU. Or you can just decide this post doesn't apply to you and scroll on! 💁🏻‍♀️

eugeneinoregon.bsky.social•4 days ago

Done.

bbix.bsky.social•4 days ago

@slotkin.senate.gov inspiring isn’t it?

thelesliegaar.bsky.social•4 days ago

This will be a fun call to Cruz and Cornyn!

gidj.dev•4 days ago

Just got through to both @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov ‘s offices, telling them I support what @corybooker.com is doing and want to see more of that energy

dogsnapper.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is there anything more pointless than trump's endless pep rallies? Booker is letting those among us who are frustrated that somebody gets them and is willing to speak on their behalf. That's not pointless. Pointless is reminding us that dems are the minority and doing nothing.

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•4 days ago

Totally agreed (and so does Kevin!)

elizabethmayo.bsky.social•4 days ago

I agree. If they are able bodied, then they should all do it, one by one by one.

mad-scientist1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Unfortunately, with the senators we have here in North Carolina that would be totally a waste of time. Both of them are MAGA jackasses to the core.

jedderm.bsky.social•4 days ago

my Senators are MIA! Morono and Husted, Ohio has horrible representation!

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•4 days ago

I feel you. Call and shame them if you have the bandwidth.

birchmoon32.bsky.social•4 days ago

Fairly certain that @fetterman.senate.gov would 100% not do this. He doesn't have the stamina, gumption, or care.

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•4 days ago

Then this post doesn't apply to you but you could also call and guilt him about it, or just scroll on! 🤗

birchmoon32.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh, I will be doing that, but I also just wanted to call him out in this forum too! 😉

datachef.bsky.social•4 days ago

With just 40 senators filibustering for 12 hours (1/2 day) each, could the Dems just shut down the Senate perpetually until GOP plays ball? It would be Booker's turn again in 20 days. Sounds like more than enough time to recover and do it again 🤔.

kaytsukel.bsky.social•4 days ago

I can only imagine what Cruz or Cornyn's aides might say if I made this suggestion.

But if you are not represented by totally inadequate GOP sycophants, please do call!

susie-q146.bsky.social•4 days ago

I called Booker's office to say thank you. My senators are....ewww.

freshe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Make some noise!!! They deserve to hear your displeasure even if they tune you out.

kaytsukel.bsky.social•4 days ago

I actually have been calling on the regular.

freshe.bsky.social•4 days ago

👍😀. May you be the pebble in their shoes they deserve!!!

dkboyd.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'd ask Cruz' staff to keep him from ever speaking in public again.

mragsac.com•4 days ago

I also linked a few other resources to locate your representatives in another post! Call, call, call to make your voices heard! ☎️📱✊🏽✨

Thank you to @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com for standing up against the current administration's egregious overreach of power! 💪🏽

jenkies720.bsky.social•4 days ago

I called mine, and I just saw a video of @bennet.senate.gov giving an assist to Cory Booker. Hoping @hickenlooper.bsky.social will do the same.

katillogical.bsky.social•4 days ago

Doing just that! Ask them to front in the April 5 rallies.

andrewrockwell.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can we get #RollingFilibuster trending by tagging all the other senators that should be resting up for their 24+ hours filibusters once Booker finishes?

freshe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thankfully he IS my Senator and I'm one of those people who contacted him with my concerns.

dkboyd.bsky.social•4 days ago

No one wants to hear even the less-bad of my Senate schmucks talk for 20 minutes, much less 20 hours... Cornyn would probably pretend to drink a Corona and Cruz would make it into a podcast.

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•4 days ago
