Der Moment, in dem der US #Senat den afroamerikanischen Senator Cory Booker kurz unterbricht, um den Moment zu würdigen, dass er die längste Rede dort in der 248jährigen US-Geschichte gehalten hat: Mehr als 24 Stunden, und er hörte danach nicht auf. Thema war im wesentlichen die Abschaffung der #Demokratie durch die US Regierung. Auch wir in der EU sollten ihm dankbar sein. Damit hat er den Rekord eines weißen Rassisten aus 1957 eingestellt.

Today’s 3 good things:

- #CoryBooker

- #Wisconsin (thank Jeebus) and #Florida too (you tried!)

- Progress on a work thing that’s been stuck in limbo since November

#CoryBooker just said "fuck you" to a #whitesupremacist hero, essentially. He showed that a Black Senator is stronger than a white supremacist Senator. In this era of resurgent white supremacy, if you do not think that is a courageous and meaningful act, then you don't know history and you're not thinking clearly. 3/

I called both of my senators today to let them know I approved of what Sen. Booker was doing and saying and urged them to follow his lead. Of course, I’m in Louisiana and both of my senators are Republicans so I’m not expecting much—just wanted to let them know.

#USPolitics #GOPFail #FuckTrump #CoryBooker

I wish every elected Democrat was more like Cory Booker and less like Chuck Schumer.

So now, thanks to the monumental effort of Sen. Cory Booker to set the record for filibustering the U.S. Senate, the late and racist Strom Thurmond is now officially Number 2.

#Cortez-Masto asked #CoryBooker re: these HHS cuts. Acc. to the #Alzheimer's Association, "Bipartisan Alzheimer’s programs like the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure are now at risk due to a reduction in staff & resources. BOLD strengthens Alzheimer’s public health efforts, such as increasing early detection & diagnosis, reducing risk & supporting #caregivers. Congress reauthorized BOLD last year w/unanimous support."

Defend BOLD here.

#StromThurmond who?? I can't help but DELIGHT in the fact that it was @booker.senate.gov, a man of color who beat that outspoken racist's little record! Well done #CoryBooker! If the #American people don't thank you? This #Canadian WILL! Thank you!

“To hate him is wrong, and maybe my ego got too caught up that if I stood here, maybe, maybe, just maybe, I could break this record of the man who tried to stop the rights upon which I stand, I’m not here though because of his speech. I’m here despite his speech. I’m here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful.”

Cory Booker speaking about Strom Thurmond after breaking his record for the longest Senate speech.

“#CoryBooker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping.

— In 2019, he backed anti-#BDS legislation
— In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O #Israel…”
— In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense
Wore a hostage pin for Israelis — but said nothing about more than 50,000+ Palestinians killed in #Gaza.”

I guarantee you trump used the N word at least 5 times today when mentioning #CoryBooker.

He is probably number 2 on trumps "N----ers I hate" list right below Obama.

I'd like to know where Urkel is on that list but I'm sure it's a long list.

Can someone explain to me how a long speech will beat Trump and fascism?

I can hear Trump laughing from this side of the Atlantic.
