Senator Cory Booker is still going at 21+ hours! I really hope he beats racist Storm Thurmond’s record. He only needs a few more hours.
I called his office to say thank him and also share the story of my dad meeting him and the video he shared. I also called my senators, Gillibrand and Schumer, to encourage them to seek inspiration in this. And separately called Rep Dan Goldman’s office bc he has been speaking and acting on many important issues and I wanted to say thanks.
@obrien_kat This reminds me of the filibuster episode from TV series The West Wing (which is hopefully the closest I ever get to US politics).
What does this mean for the senate? Are the sessions time-limited? In other words could he talk so long that the session ends? Assuming he will physically be capable of going that long, of course.
@obrien_kat Cory is one of the only few people in Congress that actually cares so I give him that and it's sad that the number of people that actually give a damn fits into one hand.
