Cory Booker sets a record with marathon Senate speech. Will it rally anti-Trump resistance?

This made me feel good in a way that the news hasn't in a long time.
This is what we need from leadership. I hope this sparks sonething bigger than what mere constituents can accomplish alone. The show of support alone is refreshing after all the silence.
Hail Corey Booker.
Booker really seems to be the real deal. From everything in his time in local politics to the Federal level. I would love to see someone more like him in leadership than Schumer.
Wtf is that last sentence.
My interest in this will only increase exponentially from now on.
Fuck yeah, first positive thing I've read i the news in like, well,.. since Trump came back into office.
Longest speech ever

Neat that it has an article already.
UGH! Can he PLEASE Stop RUINING our Plans!
-CHUCK SCHUMER!
Schumer ran interference. I love to complain about unapologetic, no fooling, Torah-justifying Zionist "centrists" as much as the next guy but he did at least part of his job here.
If anti-Trump resistance hasn't been rallied yet, I don't think this is going to do it.
At least hes trying to rally anti-trump supporters
AOC and Cory Booker. The dream team.
So he beat two Republican records.
Both republican records were for suppressing equality and human rights.
And the Stockholm syndrome has people brainwashed into voting for R's.
He deserves a wallet that says "Bad Motherfucker"

Republicans now trying to recruit David Blaine or the Mind Freak guy to run for Senate. Sources are hearing rumors that Wim Hoff is being offered a “Gold Card” citizenship, despite recent abuse allegations. Hoff is unavailable for comment as he’s currently climbing K2 naked.

It’s a nice gesture but we’re far past the time for nice gestures. We’re quickly approaching a dictatorship. Talking in the senate is not enough, and it won’t be rallying anyone that hasn’t been rallied already. Revolutionary action is required for a true anti-fascist resistance.
One of the ways you sleep walk into a dictatorship is by "complying in advance". We may be on our way to a dictatorship but there's no need to roll out the carpet for it. Booker is doing a good thing by using his platform while he still has one.
There may be no way out of this without violence and bloodshed, but that doesn't make non-violent, more conventional forms of resistance useless. They work as force multipliers. I support Booker and I also don't think the Tesla takedown people are terrorists.
I agree that we shouldn’t accept it, I just don’t think doing anything within the system matters at this point, hence my emphasis on revolutionary action. There’s peaceful action that is outside of the system and directly against it that would be better right now than anything that can be realistically done from within. If we take out the “realistically” part there’s a fuck ton more the Democrats could be doing to combat our imminent collapse. A decent gesture by one man of the massive group complicit in establishing a dictatorship simply falls on deaf ears.
I honestly don’t understand this
david sedaris would like a word with all people needing relief in these trying times....lol
A news article that poses a question in the headline? The answer is no.
The real question is will the US citizens storm out? or they will keep spamming all over the internet?
Tankies are going to be upset, because according to them, Democrats are just as bad as Republicans.
Good job Big Bladder Booker...
😄 😄 👏
He's got to be hooked up to a catheter
