NJ Democrat senator Cory Booker takes the floor in protest of Trump/Musk, "saying that he will keep going โ'as long as I am physically able'.โ
โI rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,โ Booker said at the outset of his remarks. โI rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.โ
โIn just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americansโ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy. โThese are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.โ -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! Thatโs what Iโm 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 โ 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?
NPR has a really good overview of what and why he's doing. Once a Senator has the floor, they can speak until they cede the floor without being forced to stop, as long as they don't yield the floor. But they have to be standing and speaking that entire time. No bathroom breaks, no food or water, no sitting.
The one time you can take a break (although you can't sit down or leave the room), is when another Senator asks a question, which they're doing. They're telling long anecdotes along with their questions to give him a break in speaking. Sen. Booker holds the floor, but he's not alone. From the article:
More than a dozen Democrats participated in the proceedings throughout Tuesday morning, including: Murphy, Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey, Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont, Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Sen. Tina Smith of Minnesota, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Sen. Ben Ray Lujรกn of New Mexico.
It is currently 5pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, April 1st. He began this speech at 7pm yesterday. He has been speaking for 22 hours. He's still standing.
No WATER?? yikes
Dang.
He broke the record

Don't quite know how to explain "so there's this feature length video about obscure Canadian church plays where every year a pop culture figure gets turned into metaphorical Jesus and crucified to pop music covers and this year's is Beauty and the Beast themed and I'll be watching it because I have to see whether a megachurch in Winnipeg celebrates Easter by crucifying Belle or the Beast (but it's obviously going to be the Beast, come on)" to people
FEMINISM WIN! This megachurch in Canada crucified Belle from Beauty in the Beast
The Canadian megachurch that crucifies a beloved pop culture character every Easter has announced this year's choice and it's. Bizarre
Lots to unpack here.
- Murder on the Orient Express, the film, came out seven years ago. I mean I guess the story is timeless and the new Poirot films are still ongoing but
- Putting "Jerusalem" in the title sure, uh, makes one nervous about the intent of this evangelical megachurch in this day and age. Or ever
- Literally how does this work. Jesus has to be Poirot, right? Since he's always the hero even if it doesn't make any sense? Or will Jesus be murdered at the start and Poirot is solving it? Would they make the child murderer murder victim this year's Jesus
- If it's a murder mystery when does Jesus!Poirot die. Does he solve the unrelated murder then also get additionally crucified
- If they want to do a murder mystery stop being cowards and give us Benoit Blanc Jesus, at the least
- This is either going to be really boring or a hour long hate crime and either way I cannot look away
- Also I know they're out of date but I'm honestly stunned it's not Barbie
I haven't watched this one but the consensus seems to be that it was the worst one. Not just not bad in a funny way but incoherent and boring. Wonder if they did it to make sure it wouldn't go viral and people would stop being so ironically fascinated with their megachurch which, fair enough. Probably the end of the whole Canadian Church Play phenomenon which is likely for the best (remembering last year when people discovered the evangelical megachurch is, in fact, homophobic)
This post got A Note so as a update I think everyone decided this one was intentionally boring so it wouldn't go viral and a bunch of gay people online would stop watching them every year. I don't even know who they crucified this year. I looked it up and apparently their Easter play didn't have a true crucifixion? Also they copyright struck uploads of the plays so they really do seem to want to make their online infamy go away. Stopping anyone from firing shots to keep the rent high
Last year they did a boring play that barely had any Easter elements and this year they're retreating even deeper
The church's Easter play is, for the first time, about Jesus. They really wanted to shed their ironic fanbase so bad they made themselves boring. After just one year of having to ban gay people in their church's chatroom bc they were too excited about seeing Belle get crucified they couldn't take it anymore and corrected so hard they've forced to use Jesus in their Jesus play

My goal for today is to assemble all my current writing, without notes, into a single document, and then print that document out for assemble in a binder.
I did not expect this to be this scary. It feels like I'm making it Real.
Current word count is 37,000. The earlier sections will definitely need some touching up. So Im expecting 60-75K by the first complete draft.
What the fuuuuuuuck
