ps:

#CoryBooker has about an hour left, and if he passes the threshold he will beat the record for a #filibuster in the #Senate

and who set the current record?

#StromTurmond the #racist ghoul trying to stop the #CivilRightsAct of 1957

there's a certain poetic justice to it all

watch Cory making history now, he's pausing, reaching to recall words, but he's still lucid and on point:

much respect Cory

#CORYBOOKER IS FIRE

Ranging from #anger to #women's #suffrage (#AlicePaul) to #FrederickDouglass to all aspects of #American #history in hour 19-20 of a no sleep #filibuster in #rhetoric I could never elocute well rested in my entire life

WITNESS THIS MAN

I wanted to capture some snippets from hour 19 (he's going on hour 22 now)

Corey Booker on #Anger:

now he's speaking about the history of the #women's #suffrage movement, about one of the first people to #protest #congress, how she directly challenged president woodrow wilson and how she was then abused by the state

this is hour 19!

he's stutttering a little, but his thoughts and rhetoric are fire

cory is on fire

dude's being a fucking us history professor giving a college level lecture to the nation with no sleep

now on to #FrederickDouglass!

much respect #CoryBooker
