Take a bow, U.S. healthcare."

NJ Democrat senator Cory Booker takes the floor in protest of Trump/Musk, "saying that he will keep going “'as long as I am physically able'.”

“I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker said at the outset of his remarks. “I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.”

“In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy. “These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.” -source

I am posting this at 2:30am EST. He has been speaking since 7PM EST. This link (at this moment) is to a live stream.

FUCK YEAH, JERSEY!

So very proud of my state at the moment.

Reblogging and adding the livestream link from Senator Booker's YouTube (the other one was glitching) . It is almost 4am. He is still going STRONG. If you are watching and plan to go to sleep, turn the volume down and leave it up so that the "watching" number reflects the involvement of people supporting him.

If he can LITERALLY stand and protest as a single voice, we can keep it playing and symbolically stand with him.

Senator Booker is on Hour 13 and going STRONG

Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. No business as usual! Slow the Fascists down! He should get some Democrat colleagues to join him so they can periodically cede to each other and spell each other off to keep it up longer!

STILL GOING! If you can open up the livestream to show support.

Folks, he's still going - and importantly, he's talking about his own shortcomings, his own failures and the things he wants to do better because he knows he fucked up the last time.

If your disdain for Democrats has been rooted largely in their reluctance to meet the moment, then I heartily encourage you to watch the livestream — other Democratic senators are asking long-winded "questions (which is part of the rules and allows Booker to take the occasional break for a drink of water or to rest his feet or whatnot) and helping however they can.

Booker's going to hit 24 hours at 7 pm and it's worth watching a few minutes, don't you think?

this is my calling.

fr though punks, go check if he's still going!

He is still going and he is an incredible orator. This is incredibly fucking powerful and raw. This is the power of words. This is the power you have as people.

I am a man who believes in the power of words. I am using those words to tell you about Senator Cory Booker.

I am being inspired by Senator Cory Booker, a man who believes in the power of words. He is using those words to tell us about John Lewis.

He was inspired by John Lewis, a man who believed in the power of words. A man who used those words to create good trouble.

go forward and make good trouble punks.

he has just made the record.

Musk is the biggest government welfare recipient

[Video Description:

A video with the title, "this guy hits the nail on the head." With an emoji pointing at the video. There's an illustration of a boxy heart above the video, text on it reading, "wow... america you did it! An honest politician!" The video is of Greg Casar, a democrat representative for Texas's thirty fifth Congressional district, speaking at the Department Of Government Efficiency's subcommittee's first hearing. He says, "Mr. Talcove, do you know how much money a day Mr. Musk will receive from the federal government for his contracts?" Mr. Talcove answers, "no." Mr. Casar says, "the answer is eight million dollars a day. Just last year, Elon Musk was promised three billion dollars from close to one hundred contracts with the federal government. Um, Ms. Royal do you know how much the average person in this country who survives on Social Security, one of our seniors who's worked their entire life, about how much they have to survive on a day?" Ms. Royal answers, "i do not." Mr. Casar says, "sixty five dollars a day. We're not looking into Elon Musk's eight million dollars a day. This subcommittee, chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene and the House Republicans, is looking into your grandmother's sixty five dollars a day. Let me be clear; i think we would all support taxpayer savings, look into money we might needlessly send to billionaires and big corporations, find taxpayer savings, and send it back to your hardworking family. But instead, what House Republicans and the Trump - Musk Administration want to do, is they want to look into your kid's lunch money, your kid's teacher's salary, into your grandparents' Social Security. They want to take that money and give it out in billionaire tax cuts. And they are talking about that in Committee tomorrow— in Budget Committee tomorrow. They just released their plan. So let me be clear. When Republicans talk about Government efficiency in this Congress, they're not looking into billionaires who don't pay their taxes. They're not looking into billionaires who get rich off of Government contracts. They're not looking into Elon Musk firing watchdogs who are supposed to keep him accountable. They're looking at cutting your public schools. They're going straight for your social security. They're coming straight for cancer research. They're coming straight for the Department Of Education. They're not looking at Big Tech. They're not looking at Big Pharma. Because those people fund their campaigns."

hamdan has been released. i'm beyond relieved, and yet a part of me is heartbroken for all the captives that aren't oscar winners. for whom there is no publicity.

please don't stop talking about them. don't stop talking about palestine. there is no freedom, anywhere, until palestine is free. and for that, we need to keep talking. remember their names. remember their faces. remember hossam shabat, and countless other innocent lives martyred by the occupation. they cannot and should not be forgotten.

Fourth Image Description:

A realistic purple scale illustration of the head of a roaring tiger, against a yellow background. Purple text to the left of the head reads, "and I will show my pride by refuting anyone who dares tear you down."

I’m an image description sideblog. I don’t normally make comments, but I am done. I am so done with posts about ableism and accessibility not having image descriptions. 

It verbatim says accessibility should be the standard, but this post is not accessible. This post has shown up soooooo many times in my feed, and not once has it had an image description. 

 This is not acceptable. This is the definition of performative allyship. Please, just scan the notes for an image description. Or tag me. I’m asking you to start small and make the posts you reblog for or about disabled people accessible.

J.K. Rowling is apparently now filing a defamation lawsuit against someone who made fun of her for saying this, which means its time to spread this like wildfire!

I've ignored death and rape threats. I'm not going to ignore this. Post one of eleven." Below the tweet is a meme of Britta, a character in the show Community, in which she is looking at someone off screen with disgusted shock. The subtitles of what she says are edited to say, "you can ignore porn tweeted at children?!"
