Are you following Senator Booker, speaking right now?!
I weep with joy and respect: Here at 3:30 pm CST, Senator Booker (D—NJ) is in his 21st hour of a speech-marathon on the Senate floor.
Another sane lunatic good person! I love him.
“Booker, who took the floor on Monday night at 7 p.m., said that he planned to disrupt
‘the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able.
‘I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis…These are not normal times in America, and they should not be treated as such,’ Booker said.”

I don’t know where we’re going or where we’ll end up, but I am incredibly heartened that we are not going there without some passionate people nutty enough to stand up for us, for good.
He invites us to be that crazy out-of-the-ordinary do-gooder in our own sphere.
Is that a halo???
Marz told me this is happening, which also makes me happy. I love getting news from people in my life who care.
5:35 PM: I’m watching him live on YouTube right now—amazingly he’s still totally articulate, interesting, and speaking extemporaneously with passion!
7:15PM Senator Booker just finished his record breaking 25+ hour speech – – it was really moving, impressive, inspiring, brave, cool cool cool, and I feel blessed to have been in this moment of history with him and all the people listening. Like you! ❤️❤️❤️
I am wrung out with the emotion of watching that for less than four hours– – I can’t imagine how he feels!
Well done!
