Brave Like Booker!

 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!
