"Hell is here, in Boston, in the way a woman’s voice goes unnaturally high as she strangles a shriek when surrounded by six masked people in plainclothes who claim to be police. Hell inhabits the place in your heart where you feel her fear."

A few years ago, Charlotte 1st wrote about serving on the casket team when she was in the Army. It stayed with me. It’s what I think of when any dignified transfers make the news. That Trump chose to watch golf instead of attending yesterday’s transfer is unsurprising but still deeply disgusting.

The amazing thing about the Cory Booker clips we’re seeing is that 20+ hours in — this man is still firmly ON MESSAGE. By this point in most filibusters, people are just rambling or reading Dr. Seuss. youtu.be/0HJuaQL3KRI?...

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Cory Booker is less than an hour away from breaking the record for holding the senate floor. 23 hours in and he is still relentlessly on message and righteously angry.

Moreover, the one resource we desperately need to defy an authoritarian regime is TIME. And even if we can’t always stop them, we can stall for time. We can force them to drag it out. We can make them burn their precious resources on having to slow down and reset repeatedly. Time is a win.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

“Are things worse than they were before Stonewall? Not yet." I spoke with LGBTQ+ elders about what survival looks like under a hostile political regime and their advice for young people right now — which is namely, act even when you're afraid.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
