One wonders if the person on the videoconference side knows that they are being broadcast to the entire coffee shop. In my view, that's a key difference between what you're experiencing and two "live" people chatting.

So I'll finish transcribing parts of this speech later but I wanted to talk about a couple things in it that makes it great.

I just overheard a colleague say to another colleague, after they shared a laugh about something, "you're hysterical sometimes." And I know that everything is terrible and we are facing the destruction of [gestures broadly], but I can't stop thinking about that "sometimes."

Agreed, and the more we amplify what Booker is doing, the more we make it matter, in public perception and as an example to other elected officials. On the other hand, the more we disparage and tear it down, the more we make it not matter. It's not all up to him.

"Hi Senator I am a voter in [your home zip code] and I saw what Sen. Booker did for others and I want that for me. Good day". A phone call like this is worth 10,000 quote posts.

It may be performative but that man is making arguments against Trump/Musk/Rs disastrous bullshit cuts while sometimes leaning so heavily on the podium he’s barely standing AND while too many Democrats are too comfortable sitting back doing goddamn nothing. AT THIS POINT, DO FUCKING SOMETHING, DEMS

I'm seeing a lot of cynical reactions to this move from Cory Booker. And I get it!! But performative opposition is a necessary part of effective opposition from the minority. Not sufficient, but necessary. And our electeds need to know we notice when they do well and not just when they do poorly.

ICYMI last week, reupping a digital security tip sheet I helped write with @bostonjoan.bsky.social. More than a few new ones have dropped since January -- the main goal of this one is to give you 5 things you can do to minimally but meaningfully raise your security

Our party may be cooked on the national level, but the way back is taking back power on the local level. And the best way to do that is to get with folks like @runforsomething.net and get into state and local office.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

No Amazon, Walmart, target, fast food, gas.
