Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

huh weird.

Taking a plea deal to avoid the death penalty is very common. Sometimes cops think it's the only way to actually get a confession so they can close the case if they don't have enough other evidence. It's bullshit that Luigi is at risk of it and the terrorism charges are even more bullshit (a targeted assassination is the exact opposite of terrorism), but he could also plead guilty and take this deal. I'd be surprised if he hasn't been offered it or discussed it with his lawyer. This other guy's deal isn't proof of Luigi being treated differently or of the country deciding that they're cool with racist mass murderers, it's just a quicker way to end a case so they don't have to go through with a trial.

I think it's still being fought out if he'll be tried in state or federal court (I don't understand why he would be federally charged, it seems like NY would have jurisdiction) and NY doesn't have the death penalty (no one should imo), so we don't know if he's going to be executed or not yet. Lawyers or other experts, please weigh in, but right now this just seems to be posturing by Trump's people to show their millionaire friends that they're tough guys. So don't freak out yet.

I hate looking at other people's book lists what do you mean your favorite novel is The Book Shop In The Coffee Shop. The Sword Of Gold Dragon Tooth Blood. The Girl In The Book Shop In The Coffee Shop's Window. A Window In A Building Of Lies. With Wings To Fly With. For Those Who Fly Wingless. Wings That Wung. Winging For One. For What These Windows Have Won.

i have not seen this meme in so long im loving it

one of the reasons i love tumblr is that occasionally classic memes like this show up on my dashboard

It’s like reaching into the cupboard for food and accidentally finding a 19 year old can of soup that you’ve kept for sentimental reasons

*Scrolls past*

*reluctant sigh*

*scrolls back up*

*rebogs*

i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here

It's NaNoWrimover

Well, my pizza is running late, so I'll write this up now.

Nanowrimo is shutting down, and the above video is their official statement explaining why. Kilby Blades, the Interim Executive Director, takes about half an hour to dance around the main problem: the organization wasn't making enough money from donations. This is kind of like saying the house burned down because it was on fire.
