WHY HAS WIKIPEDIA NOT CHANGED THE DESCRIPTION OF STORM THURMAN’S RACIST FILIBUSTER AS THE 2ND LONGEST IN HISTORY?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strom_Thurmond_filibuster_of_the_Civil_Rights_Act_of_1957?wprov=sfla1

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.

I love it!  This morning I donated $25.05 to Cory Booker in honor of the 25 hours and five minutes he eloquently spoke!  
It was inspiring to watch Senator Booker doing something impactful to rally support against trump’s rapacious overreach & call out the Republicans’ passivity.  #corybooker #filibuster #senate #goodtrouble  you can donate at this link: secure.actblue.com/donate

Ist das nur mein Eindruck, dass Cory Bookers Rede zumindest in den Überschriften vor allem als athletischer Rekord beschrieben wird und nicht der Inhalt der Rede die Nachricht ist?

Doktor Zoom points to a video (it's embedded at the link below) "where Maddow encourages Booker to hydrate and Booker encourages Maddow to keep beginning her A block every night with video of the protests against fascism that are happening EVERY DAMN DAY in this wonderful country."

Heather Cox Richardson “Not left or right, but right of wrong.” 4/1/2025

Heather Cox Richardson “Not left or right, but right of wrong.” “It is time to heed the words of the man | began this whole thing with: John Lewis. | beg folks to take his example of his early days when he made himself determined to show his love for his country at a time the country didn’t love him, to love this country so much, to be such a patriot that he endured beatings, savagely, on the Edmund Pettus bridge, at lunch counters, on freedom rides. He said he had to do something. He would not normalize a moment like this. He would not just go along with business as usual. He wouldn't know how to solve it, but there's one thing that he would do, that | hope we all can do, that | think | did a little bit of tonight.

“He said for us to go out and cause some good trouble, necessary trouble, to redeem the soul of our nation. | want you to redeem the dream.... Let's be bolder in America with a vision that inspires with hope. It starts with the people of the United States of America— that's how this country started: ‘We the people. Let's get back to the ideals that others are threatening, let's get back to our founding documents.... Those imperfect geniuses had some very special words at the end of the Declaration of Independence...when our founders said we must mutually pledge, pledge to each other ‘our lives, our fortunes, and our Sacred Honor! We need that now from all Americans. This is a moral moment. It's not left or right, it's right or wrong.

“Let's get in good trouble.

"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.

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.

Cory #Booker dedicated himself to a truly heroic feat of mind over matter and humanity over politics. I am now a huge fan. Anyone that needs a boost, immerse yourself in his #filibuster. And after that, get in some good trouble.

I just donated $25.05 to Cory Booker’s campaign in honor of his record-breaking 25 hour 5 minute filibuster in the Senate. May he use it to make some Good Trouble.

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.
