Wow... what a great sentiment and goal! Too bad he's not referring to the actual atrocities that are inflicted upon children (or the newly proposed rollback of child labor laws) 🙄😕🖖✌️🫶 www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-decl...

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it. Read books. Form your own opinions. LEARN THINGS. READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

"‘Point-Blank Range’: How Israel Executed 15 Medics and Rescue Workers in Gaza" Writing for Zeteo, Diana Buttu says she had a difficult time writing this essay because she could not stop thinking about the level of evil needed to carry this out.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Poilievre continues to use the word "Liberals" as an insult. Please, do yourself a favour. Look up the definition of a liberal. Now I ask you, why aren't YOU? We're not evil people like Pierre wants you to believe. #cdnpoli It's partisan bullshit. Knock it off.

We deserved some good news!

"What we need right now in America is vision. We need vision to redeem the dream." - Cory Booker

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

Cory Booker is mostly putting a lie to the notion there was nothing more that Democratic lawmakers could do.

Retweet this if Cory Booker is making you cry with pride and hope right now.

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

It’s ended with one phrase from John Lewis: “Let’s get in good trouble”. - 25+ hours

Democrat Cory Booker ends a more than 25-hour floor speech against President Trump's actions, the longest in Senate history.

Indeed.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

Cory Booker. 👇👇👇

Between @booker.senate.gov's magnificent, soaring oratory and stamina plus the volunteers' effort up to the last hours in Wisconsin I have renewed faith in our fellow Americans' devotion to democracy. We can do this. But it takes all of us. Remember April 5 is coming up.

Cory Booker is awesome!

Cory Booker 💥

BREAKING: As Cory Booker goes on to his 23rd hour straight, his livestream on TikTok has been “liked” over 175 million times. Yes 175 MILLION!

Americans are beginning to fear dissent. That’s exactly what Trump wants www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"You can't lead the people if you can't love the people." We're all with you, @booker.senate.gov

#CoryBooker .. Speaking Out www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... By Vivian Ho and Theodoric Meyer Sen. Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 18 hours after vowing Monday evening to disrupt “the normal business of the US Senate for as long as able.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Tomorrow the House is voting on HR22 aka the SAVE Act which will disenfranchise millions of voters, especially women whose birth certificates don't match social security cards, create barriers for vote by mail, and create nothing but hurdles for most voting rights for people.

LET'S GOOOOO @booker.senate.gov !!!!!! You got this and we got your back!!!!!!

If you live in Wisconsin or in the 6th congressional district of Florida you’ll have a chance to do something the rest of us only dream about doing... [It's also an election day in many other parts of the country, too.] https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-you-live-in-wisconsin-or-floridas

If you live in NJ, please take a moment to send Governor Murphy an email with this tool and tell him to veto S-3507/A-4652. This is an overly-broad law that will be misused to criminalize peaceful protests. We need Murphy to squash this one. secure.everyaction.com/oYXI0gpdqkKI...

We are the bad guys. Don’t look away. Speak up.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Guys, we're in trouble. This is only going to get worse. Please be aware of your surroundings. Help your neighbors. We need to stick together

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
