2/2🧵 : what will stay with me of #CoryBooker's #filibuster is this quote, when he imagined what his hero Congressman John Lewis the original #goodtrouble guy, would have done were he alive today. "What WE will have to repent for is the appalling silence and inaction of good people". Take that Chuck! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L

1/2🧵: #CoryBooker #filibuster now the longest in history, beating *that guy* who opposed the #civilrights Act in 1957. Booker talking more than 24h on the #Senate floor, not just filling space but doing so eloquently. I thought it was interesting he had just mentioned Congressman John Lewis forgiving the unforgivable (a white man who'd viciously assaulted him) when #ChuckShumer took the floor to try and steal some of Booker's shine by being the one announcing the record. m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2utlMxA
