Cory Booker is reading letters from his constituents and tearing up repeatedly and itβs making me cry.
Yes -- in case anyone thought their calls and letters don't matter, Cory Booker has launched a protest marathon speech on the Senate floor and is reading letters directly from his constituents. Their voices and words gave him something to share on the Senate floor directly from the American people.
I intend to call my senators tomorrow and let them know that I've heard about this, and will be sending them letters as well so THEY can speak up for their constituents, because I expect them to speak up.
as of this morning, tues. 4/1/25, the speech is still going, with booker only stopping to take questions from democrats. here is a link to a NYT article about it, in which they quote him as saying:
βIn just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americansβ safety, financial stability, the core foundations of our democracy and even our aspirations as a people for β from our highest offices β a sense of common decencyβ¦These are not normal times in America, and they should not be treated as such.β
here is a link to the livestream of the speech on senator bookerβs youtube. the live chat when i last checked it was filled with supportive comments as well.
Still going. Still coherent, somehow! His staff did an insane amount of research to prep him for this.

are we out of the woods yet?
