This is your gentle reminder that Black people are only 14.4 percent of this country's population.

Black people cannot save you.

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

After 24 hours on his feet, Cory Booker is defending the scientific research establishment of this country - calling out an experience like the one that drives me and SO MANY of my fellow scientists to do the work we do - that maybe we can do for others what we couldn't for our own loved ones.

The energy Corey Booker put forth in the past 24 hours is infectious, we can fight back, we can overcome fascism. As bleak as it looks, there are spots of hope. We have to keep doing our part.

Also? Really classy and thoughtful to thank the pages, door openers, and other staff.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

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?

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

How is he answering the call of nature? Should we all hold our pee in solidarity?

mind you this man has yet to be convicted btw

Senator Cory Booker has started his 18th hour of a filibuster on the Senate floor.

Thank you, Cory, for standing up for our veterans and the VA!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

A picture of my cat, Zelda licking my thumb but it looks like I'm holding her tongue.

Plot twist, I've got the cat's tongue.

We need to start sending Cory Booker cans of Mountain Dew and Red Bull.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.

The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

someone with an Adderall prescription Cory Booker needs you right now

So if I understand this correctly, if you hand someone waiting in line to vote a bottle of water you're attempting to influence the vote and that's illegal.

But if you hand someone waiting in line a check for a million dollars that's totally fine.

If you think it’ll stop at Columbia and Harvard, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t go beyond universities to infiltrate all schools, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t demand compliance at media, medical, and non-profit organizations, you’re wrong. Fascism is here. Fight it.

Chucking in on Senator Cory Booker on the Senate floor 5 hours+ into his filibuster.

“America, we are not doing a good job right now.”

Nailing it!

This keeps getting worse and worse.
