Senator Cory Booker just delivered a record-setting speech in defense of democracy—passionate, principled, and inspiring. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz joked about pulling a fire alarm to stop him. We need more leaders like Booker, not obstructionists like Cruz. #LeadershipMatters #DefendDemocracy
I caught the last two hours. I was amazed his voice could hold strong for all those hours.
HCR has continued to remind us how Lincoln’s leadership evolved to meet the people. This feels like that sort of moment.
Definitely what we needed along with your daily efforts to keep everyone informed. Please try and fix the FB issue they’re scared that your reaching people and you are I know I saw a few of my republicans join your page after me reposting every day .. just in case they felt like they couldn’t follow
sobbed with equal parts grief and gratitude that we have come to this dire crisis and that there was someone willing to show us how to meet it. moral courage begets moral courage. I hope the people take up the cause and prevail.
Glad to see @booker.senate.gov joining @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov to fight for us. Where are the rest of our Democratic senator’s? Where is there outrage? I don’t need @schumer.senate.gov to give an “atta boy”! I need him to fight! Fight for America! For for #wethepeople
Mainstream news is not covering this, so let’s be sure to share this everywhere and give people hope!!! Don’t tell me that felon 47 has a mandate when 350 million people watched & supported Corey Booker’s speech https://thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Senator Cory Booker is showing America what real leadership looks like: genuine heart, fierce compassion, relentless dedication, and brilliant integrity. He's teaching a masterclass in humanity—and making history while he's at it. America, take notes. THIS is how it's done. Love him. #CoryBooker
I love all the positive posts and Cory Booker was amazing. But more importantly, his speech needs to have done its job by lighting a fire within each of us to speak up and speak out for what is right, just and true.
Our freedoms and so much of what we've all just taken for granted are being stripped away. It's all of our responsibilities to take the baton and run with it now. Let's start by being active on Saturday in the 4/5 rallies and marches.
Indeed! Senator Corey Booker cleared a definitive lane for the moral high ground against the entire Trump administration and their policy. For we Democrats, he's our moral leader now. We needed what he did more than we would have ever known before he did it.
It cannot be minimized.
Thank you, sir!👏🏾
I read about your disappearing posts on fb. I haven't been able to see anything from you for at least 2-3 weeks. Even when I searched your name, groups associated with your name came up, but not your profile. I signed up for your newsletter when I could no longer read your posts on fb.
The only unanimous vote was for Rubio, which while still problematic, one can see where given some of Rubio’s prior stances on foreign policies, his Senate colleagues might have thought him a qualified candidate, especially in light of the rest of the nominees
Not vote, consent. Every step before the actual vote, there is a formal step where they ask for unanimous consent, before moving to the next step. Senators could slow down the process if they wanted to. They don’t because their true intent is supporting the status quo.
I watched from Canada, and I was unexpectedly emotional. That speech sounded like…hope. Hope in action. It’s exactly what America and the world needed to hear and I feel a shift coming. I’m incredibly grateful for what Senator Booker did. I feel slightly less dread than I did yesterday.
Every moment of these 24+ hours, Booker has spoken with truth & passion. No need to read a Dr. Suess book to fill the time. Booker's commitment to democracy & his love of the people of America allows him to soar in his speech even at the 24th hour. What was said is as important as the time
His speech was more than a show of stamina and endurance, backed by intelligent discourse and history. It was also an homage to spirit, heart, hope, and the love and care of humanity.
After several months of depression and fear, Americans are angry and ready to fight against this fascist takeover. But it will take decades to undo his damage.
What an honor to be alive for this redemption from the previous record. I have been tearing up a lot as it ends. Indeed the moral arc is long - but how overwhelming to see living proof of it bending toward justice. What an excellent, honorable, patriotic, loving man. I’m so moved.
I always respected and liked Cory Booker but he's done an amazing thing just now for everyone who has been asking Dems to do something. I hope this will be the continuing spark of hope and good work from all of us.
Outrage is an expected response to Trump and Musk’s sabotage of American democracy. Their betrayal benefits only America's enemies. At noon on Saturday April 5th, we need to all attend a rally, make our presence known and our voices heard.
Agreed. The Democratic party needs more leaders like this. We need strong legislators who will not back down and who are making good noise. Band together Democrats and lead us!
MSNBC reported that over 280M people 'liked' Senator Booker's TikTok livestream alone! I can hardly conceive of how many people around the world tuned in for some part of it via that and who knows how many other channels. WOW!!
Why are millions of Americans being demoralized and bullied by an old man and his money guy? Two odd men. Perhaps a group should gather on his golf course and have a chat. Watching protesters on TV is a diversion.A mob of protesters on his golf course might make a unique statement .

Strom Thurmond - opposing voting rights for black people
Ted Cruz - opposing health care for poor people
Cory Booker - opposing fascism
I wept.
Not a single sold-to-AIPAC candidate is going to win.

NJ should kick off presidential primaries
It's like DEI central demographics-wise
Appreciated your FB live today. Hopefully the shadowban issue gets resolved
Though because you are historian believe you should at least provide context and references.
But still just want to leave with the vibe, this is all I need right now.
Who else is really capable of that performance?
"Who are we America if you don't think this is a moral moment where the character of our country is being tested?"
I'm a 67 year old 1st time protester. I call and write ALL of the senators. The GOP can stop this. We only need 4 of them to change course.
SATURDAY
