🗣 WHY HAS WIKIPEDIA NOT CHANGED THE DESCRIPTION OF STORM THURMAN’S RACIST FILIBUSTER AS THE 2ND LONGEST IN HISTORY?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strom_Th

tell me this “posturing” and so-called not real #filibuster is not important?

there are 47 US Senators for the Democratic Party. fuckers need to take on where Cory left off and filibuster until all the thousands of workers and experts are re-instated and all the programs shut down brought back up and funded.

IF IT TAKES ALL YEAR THEN SO BE IT.

Cory Booker breaks filibuster record—what's next for leadership? In a passionate 25-hour speech, he tackled pressing issues like job cuts and deportations while linking them to his family's history. This powerful display not only energized Democratic support, but positioned him as a key figure against rising authoritarianism. Will he transform this momentum into cohesive Democratic action?

"This isn’t just poetic justice—it’s a political redemption. The same tactics once used to block civil rights are now being wielded to defend them.

The record for the longest speech in Senate history no longer belongs to a segregationist. It belongs to a Black man fighting for democracy."

1/4 People are celebrating #Booker &the great #filibuster caper. That's fine. They're desperate for a hero w Schumer asleep at the wheel or rather driving drunk under the influence of #Zionist #fascism.

Did the record deserve to be broken and held by anyone other than a segregationist? Sure.

Please understand that ICE disappearing legal residents is directly related to #Zionism, to which Booker & many in Congress pledge allegiance with every vote & dollar every day.

Sana Saeed on twitter Two bodies were found thrown in a grave, handcuffed. All these medical and aid workers were executed. If you're talking about free speech, colleges and deportations of students in this country right now and not about how all that is in service of this - this genocide - you are contributing to the repression & genocide denialism. The two are inseparable.

BREAKING: Senator Cory Booker reflects on his historic, record-setting speech

'Senator Cory Booker talks with Rachel Maddow about holding the Senate floor for a record-breaking 25 hours and 4 minutes to raise attention to the perils of Donald Trump's agenda and inspire American activism against that agenda as many of his constituents have taken to regular public protests on their own.'

“#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 thought it was historical, but not only for breaking the filibuster record but for its substance, its content.
It felt like a pivot moment, which might change the path of history.
If only enough red voters and politicians watched and listened, enough may have been swayed into standing up for their beliefs and hold the president to the constitution or remove him from office.
