yes & am a Canadian who is so grateful to see Americans realizing they are in trouble. Cannot believe the lies that Canadian border is a fentanyl supplier to the US when truth is exact opposite . It is shocking to see the lies being accepted. Cory Booker speaks truth. The world is proud of him.
Senator Cory Booker just made history with the longest filibuster ever—bold, principled, and full of patriotic audacity. This is what standing up for democracy looks like. We see you, Senator. And we’re with you. 🌓✨

And Orban may be in serious trouble. I lived through Communism's fall. I was in Budapest just after it collapsed. Hope Turkey, Georgia and Belarus can follow
I am a transgender woman from Uganda, currently living in the Gorom refugee camp in south Sudan. My situation is very difficult, I lack access to food, medication, clothes and other basic needs.
Better than most of those fuckwits? Sure. Taking top of the list from a pos racist? Love it. But sorry, I didn’t forget that he’s utterly complicit in a genocide.
When he said, "If American hasn't broken your heart, you haven't lover her enough.", I burst into tears....heck, I'm dropping tears all over the keyboard right now...
Opening with John Lewis and hitting the new record mark with Lewis was masterfully timed, and pretty much the best imaginable rhetorical middle finger to Thurmond.
Please continue to relay this this monumental selfless patriotic democratic filibuster movement started by Cory! Be Loud and Heard! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedems25.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social💪🏻🇺🇸💙
Not cry but EXTREMELY PROUD and AMAZED by the incredible showing of his STAMINA AND ABILITY to deliver an exceptional performance and coherent message, something no Republican can accomplish or even SPELL!
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!
Filibustering is when by speaking continuously & holding the floor, you obstruct a piece of legislation from being discussed & voted on. Booker's action used the rules of filibustering but was not technically one as there was no specific piece of legislation involved. 1 of 2
He should be the Dem leader. Schumer has nothing to offer us. We need a person like Cory Booker to reignite us, give us hope. I wish he was my Senator right now.
I’m not crying, but I’m hopeful for the first time in 72 days.
And he’s had some great lines.
But when he asked, are you better off than you were 71 days ago?” That hit home & should be a rallying cry.
Was this new? Or last night/this morning no longer live? Or is he STILL live?
I listened to him abt 5 hrs last night. I bawled. It's disgusting that R's will still vote to take it all away after that. I don't understand that cruelty. I've recvd it my whole life. I get angry but couldn't hurt them.
I burst out in tears leaving a voicemail message for him telling him how proud I am of him. I thought I was a real wuss until I read an entire thread on Threads of people who said they did the same thing.
Exactly, you are not alone in this. I'm not American, but we are still rooting for the resistance over here in Germany🫶
We try to put economic pressure on this regime (e.g. noone wants to buy a Tesla anymore😂)
And the protests actually get covered by the big news outlets here😅
I don’t know what to think about Corey Booker. He’s hooked up with big Pharma in New Jersey but maybe he’s got some good in him.
A lot of empty words come out of the mouths of politicians. If he has a net worth of more than $500,000, he’s probably on the take. Hold his feet to the fire.
$500,000k???
In Southern California, according to a FOX headline, this is the outlook on home prices from 2023:
California's 'median-price' home is worth $830K
FOX 11 Los Angeles
Aug 16, 2023 — L.A.. Median home: $789,400 · Orange: Median home: $1.25 million · Riverside. Median home: $625,000
The American medical industry/American medical mafia is an example of the extortion of human suffering for obscene profit. It’s the leading cause of preventable death. It’s 20% of the US GDP.
Amazon is now in the prescription drug business. What could possibly go wrong? 🤑🤪
Agreed.
I have a dread fear that all the insurance companies may be forced to only use Amazon.
Mark Cuban ought to be feeling this too by now.
Here's to hoping Luigi put the fear of God into some of them.
I was choked up all day. Was listening to the filibuster all day. Sen. Booker was inspiring, and the other senators helping him was really moving. So impressed.
I called his office to leave a thank you message, and started crying as soon as I started talking, which I never do.
Definitely verklempt. He’s AMAZING. He laid a line in the sand. How many of us are going to cross the line & become a force for change & fighting to keep our democracy

And now I'm with her, she's with me, we're for all of you who chose us.

And asking God to strengthen him.
I did NOT expect to sob. Many times. Just over and over. My partner was like, "wtf is happening with you?"

Tweeting is for Nazi Magats

Let's all thank him for what he's doing!

(I’m stuck with Young & Banks. 😠)

Then watched the GOP immediately screw us confirming MAGA to be the Ambassador of NATO.
Cory Booker is going to shatter that racist pig Strom Thurmond’s record

I'm a 67 year old 1st time protester. I'm out there because I'm afraid for our country. I'm afraid for the people in it.
Call every GOP senator to shame them and every Dem senator to encourage them.

Just because someone’s house is worth that much doesn’t mean they’re worth that much especially if they have debt.
The real estate industry are a bunch of gangsters along with the banksters who actually own your house. It’s called extortion.
Sure feels like it.
Pretty certain there are assholes everywhere.

I cried. This can be our moment of grace.
We can refuse to let them do this to us.
We can be the united country we’re supposed to be.

I am so very thankful that he is the right man at the right time.
