Heather Cox Richardson “Not left or right, but right of wrong.” 4/1/2025
"Cory Booker is putting his body on the gears of the United States Senate because the operation of that machine has become too odious to do anything else."

Today Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) made history.
Letters from an American"This is a moral moment. It is not left or right. It is right or wrong. Let’s get in good trouble."
~ Senator Cory Booker ending his history-making 25+-hours filibuster speech
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! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lewis
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. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2utlMxAwtE
THANK YOU!
